Promises
Sentidos Opuestos Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your lips move
But you don`t mean what you say
You think that you`ve got in the way
But al those sweet little lies
The ones you said every time
You looked in my eyes

But i`m not better baby
Your yes is only maybe
I`m not a mistaken
You`re always making…

Promises your heart can´t keep
Always getting in too deep
Love is not same game you`re playing
When you and your lips start saying
Promises your heart can´t

Stop saying things that you don´t mean
Promises you just can keep

Actions speak louder than words
It´s time you finally learn
When love comes straight from the soul
I know that what you feel
Is real without begin told

Tell that boy, i´ll be waiting
Hoping that you´ll be changed
Before the loves starts fading
You should stop making

Promises your heart can´t keep
Always getting in too deep
Love is not same game you`re playing
When you and your lips start saying
Promises your heart can´t

Show me
Don´t tell me
I´ll see that you love me
That won´t be no need for any

Promises your heart can´t keep
Always getting in too deep
Love is not same game you`re playing




When you and your lips start saying
Promises your heart can´t

Line by Line Meaning

Your lips move
You speak words to me


But you don't mean what you say
But those words hold no truth


You think that you've got in the way
You believe you have created a problem


But all those sweet little lies
But all the gentle false statements you've made


The ones you said every time
That you repeated every encounter


You looked in my eyes
As you met my gaze


But I'm not better baby
But I am not superior or immune


Your yes is only maybe
Your agreement is not definitive


I'm not a mistaken
I am not wrong


You're always making...
You frequently do something...


Promises your heart can't keep
promise of commitment that you won't fulfill


Always getting in too deep
Letting attachment go too far


Love is not same game you're playing
Romance is not a game


When you and your lips start saying...
When you utter these false commitments


Stop saying things that you don't mean
Stop making dishonest declarations


Promises you just can keep
Vows you have no intentions of fulfilling


Actions speak louder than words
Deeds provide stronger insight


It's time you finally learn
It's time for you to recognize


When love comes straight from the soul
When affection is a part of the essence of an individual


I know that what you feel
I believe that what you're experiencing


Is real without being told
Is authentic without any explanation


Tell that boy, I'll be waiting
Inform that guy, I'll be here


Hoping that you'll be changed
Expecting that you'll alter behaviors


Before the love starts fading
Before the romantic feeling fades


You should stop making...
You ought to stop doing...


Promises your heart can't keep
False vows you will not honor


Show me
Demonstrate with actions


Don't tell me
But don't tell me just verbally


I'll see that you love me
I trust that I'll observe that you cherish me


That won't be no need for any...
There won't be a necessity for any...


Promises your heart can't keep
Dishonest commitments that you won't fulfill
