Lyrics
So much for your promises
Disappointment and betrayal regarding unfulfilled promises.
They died the day you let me go
The promises ceased to have meaning when the speaker was let go.
Caught up in a web of lies
Entangled in a deceitful situation filled with lies.
But it was just too late to know
Realization that the truth was discovered, but too late to prevent pain.
I thought it was you
Belief that the person being addressed was the reliable one.
Who would stand by my side
Expectation that the addressed person would support through thick and thin.
And now you've given me, given me
Expression of what the person has given, which is shattered dreams.
Nothing but shattered dreams, shattered dreams
Emphasizing the result of broken promises—only shattered dreams remain.
Feel like I could run away, run away
Feeling the urge to escape from the pain and emptiness.
From this empty heart
Describing the current emotional state as an empty heart.
You said you'd die for me
Recollection of the commitment to sacrifice for the speaker.
Woke up to reality
Abrupt awakening to the harsh reality of the situation.
And found the future not so bright
Discovering that the future is not as promising as initially thought.
I dreamt the impossible
Holding onto an unrealistic dream that now seems impossible.
That maybe things could work out right
Hopeful imagination that things could have worked out positively.
I thought it was you
Attributing the wrongdoing to the person thought to be trustworthy.
Who would do me no wrong
Revelation that the trusted person has caused harm.
But now you've given me, given me
Reiteration of receiving only shattered dreams as a result.
Nothing but shattered dreams, shattered dreams
Expressing the desire to run away from the pain and disappointment.
Feel like I could run away, run away
Reiteration of the emotional state being akin to an empty heart.
From this empty heart
Emphasizing the continued reception of shattered dreams.
You've given me, given me
Repeating the inclination to escape from the emotional turmoil.
Nothing but shattered dreams, shattered dreams
Stating again the result of broken promises—only shattered dreams.
Feel like I could run away, run away
Reaffirming the desire to run away from emotional pain.
From this empty heart
Reiterating the feeling of emptiness within the heart.
From this empty heart
Emphasizing the profound emptiness within the speaker's heart.
I thought it was you
Reflecting on the belief that the person professed love and commitment.
Who said they'd die for love
Realization that the professed love did not prevent harm.
And now you've given me, given me
Reiterating the receipt of shattered dreams instead of promised love.
Nothing but shattered dreams, shattered dreams
Expressing the desire to escape from the resulting emotional pain.
Feel like I could run away, run away
Repetition of the emotional state and inclination to run away.
From this empty heart
Reaffirmation of receiving only shattered dreams as a consequence.
You've given me, given me
Continued expression of the desire to escape from emotional turmoil.
Nothing but shattered dreams, shattered dreams
Restating the outcome of broken promises—only shattered dreams remain.
Feel like I could run away, run away
Reiteration of the inclination to run away from emotional pain.
From this empty heart
Emphasizing the persistent emptiness within the speaker's heart.
Oh, no, no, no
An exclamation of disappointment and disbelief.
You said you'd die for me
Recollection of the commitment to sacrifice for the speaker (repeated).
Oh, for
Exclamation expressing disappointment over broken promises (repeated).
Die for me
Reiteration of the commitment to sacrifice for the speaker (repeated).
So much for your promises
Reiteration of disappointment regarding unfulfilled promises (repeated).
So much for your promises
Repetition of disappointment regarding unfulfilled promises (repeated).
