Promises
Sunrise And Memories Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I secretly hoped that it wouldn't last
Compromised my dreams for living for your smile
In the end it wasn't even worth my while
You are sorrow
You are darkness
You're the memory
I want to forget
You're the kind of love full of false promises
I'm a fool for thinking you were better this
You're the kind of love full of false promises
I knew I tasted poison in your kiss
It was a warning sign that I dismissed
Leave me hanging
With a smile
In my hands
Held out for you
Left here standing
Empty pockets
Feelin waves
All shades of blue
I'm a fool for thinking you were better this
You're the kind of love full of false promises
I'm a fool for thinking you were better this
You're the kind of love full of false promises
You'll tell them I was crazy
Maybe I was
You'll even say you hate me
It's all said and done
The respect I had for you has
Ceased to exist
Hope you don't stop seeing my face
In the next person you're with
I'm a fool for thinking you were better this
You're the kind of love full of false promises
I'm a fool for thinking you were better this
You're the kind of love full of false promises

The chorus repeats the refrain of feeling like a fool for believing in false promises and mistaking the love they received for something better than it actually was. The bitterness of betrayal and disappointment seeps through the lyrics, as the singer reflects on the warning signs they ignored and the poison they tasted in their partner's kiss. They feel abandoned and left standing alone, with empty pockets and a heart weighed down by shades of blue.

Despite this, the singer laments the loss of respect they once had for their partner, hoping that their memory will not haunt the next person they choose to be with. The cycle of feeling like a fool for believing in false promises is repeated, emphasizing the pain and disillusionment that comes from being deceived and let down by someone they once loved.
Overall, "Promises" conveys a sense of heartbreak, betrayal, and the struggles of coming to terms with a failed relationship built on empty words and false hopes.
