Promise
Smith Lyrics

You
Referring to the listener, emphasizing their importance

You're holding my whole heart
You have captured my entire emotional affection and love

In your little hands
In your care and control, even though you may not fully realize it

And you don't even know it yet
You are unaware of the impact you have on me

And I
Referring to the artist

Can't help but be so scared
Feeling anxious and fearful

That I'm not enough
That I may not be sufficient or capable

That I won't ever measure up
That I may never meet the standards or expectations

Looking up to the clouds
Gazing at the sky, symbolizing contemplation and uncertainty

Wondering how
Curious about

I could be trusted
How I could be relied upon

With something so precious
With something incredibly valuable

Something so pure
Something inherently genuine and innocent

Something so sweet
Something inherently pleasant and delightful

But you better believe
You must truly understand and have faith

I promise you
I solemnly assure you

I'm never gonna leave
I will never abandon or forsake you

I promise you
I solemnly assure you

I'm always gonna be
I will always remain

Your safe refuge
Your secure shelter and protection

Come what may
Regardless of what happens

At the end of the day
Ultimately

All I wanna do
My sole desire is

Is keep my promises to you
To fulfill and uphold my commitments to you

I have trouble letting you go now
I find it difficult to release my emotional attachment to you

But you're stepping out
But you are growing and moving forward

Your hands aren't so little now
You have become more capable and independent

Oh and you
And you, continuing the acknowledgement of the listener

You're doing big things
You are achieving significant accomplishments

And I'm so proud
I feel a great sense of admiration and joy

Still can't wrap my head around it
I still struggle to fully comprehend it

Looking up to the clouds
Gazing at the sky, symbolizing contemplation and uncertainty

Wondering how
Curious about

I could be trusted
How I could be relied upon

With something so golden
With something incredibly precious

Something so strong
Something inherently powerful and resilient

When I'm so weak
Considering my own vulnerability

But you better believe
You must truly understand and have faith

I promise you
I solemnly assure you

I'm never gonna leave
I will never abandon or forsake you

I promise you
I solemnly assure you

I'm always gonna be
I will always remain

Your safe refuge
Your secure shelter and protection

Come what may
Regardless of what happens

At the end of the day
Ultimately

All I wanna do
My sole desire is

Is keep my promises to you
To fulfill and uphold my commitments to you

I know there'll come a day
I am aware that a time will come

You'll be okay
You will be fine or content

I've laid the foundation
I have established a solid base

So go build your life
So go create and shape your own existence

Go find your way
Discover your own path and purpose

Chase your dreams
Pursue your aspirations with determination

I promise you
I solemnly assure you

I'm never gonna leave
I will never abandon or forsake you

I promise you
I solemnly assure you

I'm always gonna be
I will always remain

Your safe refuge
Your secure shelter and protection

Come what may
Regardless of what happens

At the end of the day
Ultimately

All I wanna do
My sole desire is

Oh, Come what may
Oh, regardless of what happens

At the end of the day
Ultimately

All I wanna do
My sole desire is

Is keep my promises to you
To fulfill and uphold my commitments to you
