A Sack of Empty Promises
Love's Betrayal: A Sack of Empty Promises by Christiane Mathé
Lyrics
Uh, Baby, can you tell me why love is so much burning
Expressing confusion and questioning the intensity of love.
Uh, Baby can you tell me, why love is so much hurting?
Continuing to question the pain associated with love.
A sack of empty promises is not what I am deserving
Rejecting unfulfilled promises, expressing a sense of undeserving disappointment.
Baby, when I met you once
Recalling the initial meeting with the significant other.
You asked me for my love
Partner expressing a desire for love.
You told me of your loneliness
Partner sharing feelings of loneliness.
And I gave you all my heart
The narrator giving their heart to the partner.
Feeling so much pity
Feeling compassion for the partner.
I filled yours with tenderness
Offering tenderness to alleviate partner's loneliness.
But after some time I noticed
The narrator realizing a change in their own emotions.
My own heart had shrunk so much
The narrator's heart shrinking due to partner's lack of effort.
'Cause you didn't make an effort
Expressing disappointment in the partner's lack of care.
To care with a loving touch
Highlighting the absence of a loving touch.
Baby, when I met you twice
Describing a second encounter with the partner.
You wanted all my money
Partner expressing a desire for financial support.
You told me of your poverty
Partner sharing feelings of poverty.
And I felt generosity
The narrator responding with generosity.
Feeling so much pity
Feeling compassion for the partner's situation.
I gave you all my savings
The narrator giving away their savings to help the partner.
But after some time I noticed
Realizing the disappearance of the narrator's money.
My money had slipped away
Expressing being left alone and friendless due to financial loss.
And I was left alone with nothing
Highlighting the consequences of the partner's actions.
And friendless I was left to pay
Emphasizing the emotional and social cost of the financial loss.
Baby, when I met you again
Describing a third encounter with the partner.
You asked me to sing for you
Partner requesting a performance from the narrator.
You told me of your senseless life
Partner sharing difficulties in life.
And I sang the blues for you
The narrator singing the blues for the partner.
Feeling so much pity
Feeling compassion for the partner's troubled life.
I sang with heart and soul
The narrator singing with deep emotions.
But after some time I noticed
Realizing a lack of recognition for the narrator's effort.
My voice had been passing away
The narrator's voice losing its impact over time.
'Cause no one had been listening
Expressing disappointment in the lack of attentive listeners.
To understand what I had to say
Highlighting a lack of understanding for the narrator's message.
Uh, Baby, can you tell me, why love is so disappointing
Posing more questions about the disappointing nature of love.
Uh, Baby, can you tell me, why love is so destroying?
Continuing to express the destructive aspect of love.
A sack of empty promises is not what I am deserving
Reiterating the theme of unfulfilled promises and undeserved disappointment.
