Broken Promises
Sigma & Maverick Sabre Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Left my smile inside
There's no guarantee
That we can be alright
I know it's hard to keep
Keep believe it all, that
We can be so strong
Oh oh, wasted time on it
Broken promises
Nothing's worth of it
Watch me as I fly, with nothing on my mind
Send this sky run deep
Don't lose faith in me
Hold on, hold on
So, tell me how you feel now
Will you know what's real now?
Oh oh oh ooh ooh
Oh oh oh ooh ooh
So, tell me how you feel now
Will you know what's real now?
Oh oh oh ooh ooh
Hold on, hold on
Uuh uh uuh uh uuh uh
Watch me as I fly, with nothing on my mind
Uuh uh uuh uh uuh uh
Uuh uh uuh uh uuh uh
Won't you fly with me?
Let this love run free
'Cause moment's positive
To feel this summer breeze
Can't control this feeling
I need to hold my head up high
On I, oh I
Oh oh, wasted time it
Broken promises
Nothing's worth of it
Watch me as I fly, with nothing on my mind
Send this sky run deep
Don't lose faith in me
Hold on, hold on
So, tell me how you feel now
Will you know what's real now?
Oh oh oh ooh ooh
Oh oh oh ooh ooh
So, tell me how you feel now
Will you know what's real now?
Oh oh oh ooh ooh
Hold on, hold on
Uuh uh uuh uh uuh uh
Watch me as I fly, with nothing on my mind
Uuh uh uuh uh uuh uh
Uuh uh uuh uh uuh uh

Watch these times go by
Time passes by quickly
Left my smile inside
I'm not as happy as I used to be
There's no guarantee
We can't be sure things will work out
That we can be alright
We might not be okay
I know it's hard to keep
It's difficult to stay strong
Keep believe it all, that
Believe that everything will be okay
We can be so strong
We have the potential to be strong
Oh oh, wasted time on it
We spent too much time on something that didn't work out
Broken promises
Promises were made but not kept
Nothing's worth of it
It wasn't worth the effort
Watch me as I fly, with nothing on my mind
I'm moving on and leaving my worries behind
Send this sky run deep
Thinking deeply about life and the choices we make
Don't lose faith in me
Please don't give up on me
Hold on, hold on
Keep on holding on and don't give up
So, tell me how you feel now
I want to know how you're really feeling
Will you know what's real now?
Can you differentiate between reality and illusion?
Hold on, hold on
Don't give up, keep trying
Won't you fly with me?
Come with me and experience life's adventures
Let this love run free
Let love and happiness flourish
'Cause moment's positive
This moment feels good
To feel this summer breeze
To enjoy the warmth of summer
Can't control this feeling
I can't help feeling this way
I need to hold my head up high
I need to stay strong and confident
On I, oh I
I have to keep moving forward
