Promises
Broken Promises and Shattered Hearts: Kylie Minogue's Emotional Journey
Lyrics
Remember how it used to be,
Reflecting on how things used to be
Remember how you promised me,
Recollection of promises made
That life would always be good,
Assurance of perpetual happiness in life
You forget the fact you lied to me,
Realization of deceit in promises
You locked my heart and threw the key,
Feeling emotionally abandoned and betrayed
I'm so misunderstood,
Sense of being misunderstood
What to say when all the words have gone,
Struggle to articulate feelings due to emptiness
Promises, promises,
Repetition of broken promises
What to do when all our thoughts have flown
Feeling lost when thoughts fade away
Promises, promises,
Reiteration of unfulfilled assurances
Remember how I gave my heart,
Recalling the vulnerability in giving love
And all at once we fell
Simultaneous and abrupt separation
Apart, Was I supposed to forgive you,
Questioning the expectation to forgive betrayal
You forgot the fact you said to me,
Realization of broken commitment to eternity
That we were for eternity,
Transparency in seeing through deception
You're so easy to see through,
Struggling to find words in the absence of emotions
What to say when
All the words have gone,
Continued disappointment in broken promises
Promises, promises,
Emptiness when thoughts vanish
What to do when all our
Repeated disappointment in unfulfilled assurances
Thoughts have flown,
Promises, promises
-Remember that I'm over you,
Determination to overcome the pain
And know that I will make it through,
Desire for the ex-partner to remember the impact
Hope you never forget it,
Highlighting the falsity and illusion in promises
The promises you made to me,
Hoping for remorse and regret in the ex-partner
Were really lies and fantasy,
Recognition of lies and false hopes given
Hope you come to regret it
Wishing for regret in the ex-partner's realization
What to say when all the tears have dried,
Empty after the tears have ceased
Promises, promises,
Reiteration of broken assurances causing pain
What to think when all our love has died,
Contemplation upon the demise of love
Promises, promises,
Repeated realization of the failed promises
The promises we used to keep have gone,
Loss of commitment and associated emotions
And with them all the words
That kept us both from seeing what was wrong,
Recognition that unspoken issues affected the relationship
The rest is silent,
Emptiness remaining after everything has been said
What to say when all the words have gone,
Struggle to express due to the absence of words
Promises, promises,
What to do when all our thoughts have flown,
-Promises, promises,
-What to say when all the tears have dried,
-Promises, promises,
-What to think when all our love has died,
-Promises, promises.
Repetition of broken assurances causing pain
