Promises
Unspoken Vows and Hidden Truths: Virgil Blue's 'Promises'
Lyrics
It's just a bunch of promises we won't keep
Expressing a lack of commitment to promises made
A couple secrets they're safe with me
Acknowledging the presence of shared secrets
I won't hold you, go be free
Granting freedom and not holding onto the relationship
We were lovers
Reflecting on a past romantic connection
Now we're undercover
Describing a shift to a more discreet or hidden relationship
Why do we say things we don't mean?
Questioning the sincerity of spoken words
It's just a bunch of promises we won't keep
Reiterating the theme of unkept promises
A couple secrets they're safe with me
Reaffirming the confidentiality of shared secrets
Oh, safe with me
Emphasizing the trustworthiness regarding secrets
But I won't hold you, so go be free
Repeating the idea of allowing the partner to be free
It's so draining
Expressing emotional exhaustion
We can't save it
Acknowledging the inability to salvage the relationship
There's no changing what's been done
Accepting the irreversibility of past actions
We can't save it
Reiterating the difficulty in saving the relationship
It's so draining
Repeating the draining nature of the situation
There's no changing what's been done
Stating the impossibility of changing the past
And I feel like I'm being lied to
Expressing a sense of deception and mistrust
I'm scared of what I might do
Admitting fear of potential negative reactions
If I found out every truth was a lie
Contemplating the impact of discovering falsehoods
Oh I, cannot shake this feeling
Describing an overwhelming and persistent emotion
Or masquerade my healing
Refusing to conceal emotional healing
I don't want anyone to see
Desiring privacy in dealing with personal struggles
The end that I was dealing with
Acknowledging the difficulty of facing an ending
I know that I'm not innocent
Admitting personal flaws and guilt
There's times that I have fucked up
Recognizing past mistakes and shortcomings
The past that we are stuck on
Highlighting a shared history of difficulties
Why don't we just move on?
Questioning the possibility of moving forward
From, all the drama can we just be
Expressing a desire to move beyond relationship drama
Done, I don't wanna fucking argue
Declaring a reluctance to engage in arguments
No, I just miss it when we would have
Nostalgically reminiscing about past enjoyable moments
Fun, All these memories no longer
Reflecting on the cessation of positive memories
Run, Inside my mind but I still think of you
Describing persistent thoughts about the past partner
And all these promises that won't come true
Acknowledging unfulfilled promises
It's just a bunch of promises we won't keep
Reiterating the theme of unkept promises
A couple secrets they're safe with me
Confirming the confidentiality of shared secrets
I won't hold you, go be free
Repeating the idea of allowing the partner to be free
We were lovers
Recalling a past romantic connection
Now we're undercover
Describing a shift to a more discreet or hidden relationship
Why do we say things we don't mean?
Questioning the sincerity of spoken words
It's just a bunch of promises we won't keep
Reiterating the theme of unkept promises
A couple secrets they're safe with me
Reaffirming the confidentiality of shared secrets
Oh, safe with me
Emphasizing the trustworthiness regarding secrets
But I won't hold you, so go be free
Repeating the idea of allowing the partner to be free
