The_Promise
in_this_moment Lyrics

Its haunting
The relationship between the singer and the addressee is consequential and deeply impacting the singer.

This hole that you have over me
The singer is trapped in a longing for the addressee, who they see as having power over them.

I grow so weak
The singer feels helpless and vulnerable around the addressee.

I see you
The addressee is a central figure in the artist's world.

And everything around you fades
The addressee commands the artist's complete attention.

And I cant see
The singer is completely devoted to the addressee.

You can never know what it is you do to me
The addressee has a profound impact on the singer, but cannot understand the extent of their impact on them.

I can't take what you do to me
The addressee's actions are overwhelming for the artist.

No matter what I say or what I do
Despite the artist's efforts to resist, they are drawn to the addressee.

I know how this will end
The artist is aware that their devotion to the addressee will only lead to pain.

So I turn it away now before we begin
The singer recognizes the danger of giving in to their feelings and chooses to resist the pull of the addressee.

I'm dangerous for you
The artist recognizes that their obsession with the addressee is unhealthy and potentially harmful to them both.

You touch me
Physical contact with the addressee drives the singer to desperation.

And I can barely make a move
The singer is immobilized by their desire for the addressee.

And I can't breathe
The intensity of the singer's emotions is suffocating for them.

The only promise I could make
The artist is resigned to the possibility of causing pain and disappointment for the addressee.

Is that my promise is a lie
The artist cannot commit to anything wholeheartedly as long as their obsession with the addressee persists.

My promise is I will hurt you
The singer recognizes that their feelings for the addressee will only lead to negative outcomes.
