Promises
Reyna Biddy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Save me
Like you promised you would
Like the promise of us after our first conversation
And how I just knew your could
Save me
Like I still know you can

Sometimes, I wonder where you go and if you ever need my hand
Sometimes I,
wonder if you see me drowning and all along, this was your plan
And if you're waiting for me patiently to say
I can't breathe anymore
Between these mixed signals and temporary lines
I can't breathe anymore
I'm waste deep praying there's a way you can even see me anymore
Because I can't seem to see me without you
I can't continue to wonder if you'll ever leave anymore
Save me, cause I can't dream anymore

I can't fantasize about another love like you
And kiss my soul into a happy place
Like you ain't brought my life into better days
I can't give this up, like we don't do more than fk
Like we don't really make love
Like our souls ain't just one
Like this is something you can control
Like you ain't really in love
Like this was ever a story, about two fools in lust
Come on!
And if you can't remember the forevers you place in me
Look at me!

Look at the woman you've made me
You can't abandon the home you've made in me
Look me in my eyes and promise me you don't crave me
Let me know if i'm crazy
I told myself I'd stop writing about people and then here you come
You made me question if all the others were ever really worthy and
how I couldn't not write about the
person who fits me completely and perfectly

You fix me
Completely and Perfectly
You know I love to see how much you love
to see me loving the way you love me right
It is all love, right
I know some days you get, afraid right
To have my heart, to be my rib
To pray some days and go through sh*t

It takes a warrior and a special kind
of bravery to deal with someone like me
But I've decided I can't allow you to have cold feet
I swear, I'll be patient
But i know you know, you were made for me




Please don't walk away from me
Not after you promised me, you would save me

Overall Meaning

The song “Promises” by Reyna Biddy is an emotion-evoking and thought-provoking piece, in which the artist pours out her heart and soul about the insecurities and fears that lie within her relationship. The opening lines, "Save me like you promised you would, like the promise of us after our first conversation, and how I just knew you could" highlights the theme of promises being a pivotal aspect in the relationship. She wonders where her partner goes sometimes and if he needs her hand, but simultaneously questions if he sees her drowning and if it was his plan all along.

You know I love to see how much you love to see me loving the way you love me right. It's all love, right?”


The lyrics talk about not being able to imagine a world where she can't share the kind of love she has with her lover.

Despite the fear of praying and going through rough times, their love is strong enough to overcome obstacles that come their way. She tells her partner that she can't allow him to have cold feet and promises to be patient, but she knows deep within that he was made for her, and she doesn't want him to walk away from her.

on RECOVER

sometimes your heart will hurt. sometimes your smile will ache. sometimes your light will dim. sometimes your spirit will break. sometimes your entire world will come crashing down with no warning, and no signs.. but no matter how destroyed you feel - you have to be willing to dig deep inside of yourself to find some ambition to get you back right. you have to look out for you. you have to let go. you have to place your focus primarily on YOU. nothing about losing what's familiar feels good.. but uncomfortable places can be beautiful. growth is beautiful. you are beautiful. you shouldn't have to wait around and pray for someone to love you. you should love you. you should let go - because nothing worth holding onto will ever destroy you. and holding on is destroying you. trying to love someone into loving you - is destroying you. let go because you have to get a hold of you. you have to retrace your steps and figure out where you let YOU go. you have to take time to yourself to reflect on when and where you lost yourself. you have to let go of what no longer is - and accept what may have never been.. then you have to pick yourself back up. you have to release any negativity clouding your mind and you have to rid yourself of hopeful feelings. cleanse your soul. listen to your intuition. learn yourself. let go of any bad habits you've picked up along your journey. and start over. no matter how bad or how much it hurts.. let go and start over. holding on is destroying you.
