Breaking Promises
Broken Vows: Navigating Love's Turmoil with Wallace Field
Lyrics
I told myself
I made a commitment to myself
I'd never wait around
I vowed not to wait for anyone
For anyone, anyone
Reiterating the resolve not to wait for anyone
But here I am
Despite my commitment, I find myself
Breaking promises
Breaking promises to myself
To myself again, self again
Repeating the pattern of breaking promises to oneself
I can hide it
I can conceal it
Better than you'll ever know
I can hide it better than you might realize
I can fight this
I can resist this internal struggle
But I might be late to your show
However, I may be delayed in attending your event
Said I was going to go
I previously declared my intention to leave
So Goddamnit I'm going to go
An expression of frustration and determination to follow through
On days like this
During challenging times like today
I feel so alone
I experience a sense of loneliness
Even though I'm not, no I'm not
Despite not being alone, I feel isolated
Just pick up the phone
Suggesting a simple solution: just call me
But it's a weight in my palms
Describing a burden in my hands
And I'm stuck in thought, lost in rot
Feeling trapped in deep contemplation and decay
Why am I like this
Pondering why I am the way I am
I always ask, I'll never know
Expressing uncertainty about self-understanding
Try to fight it
Attempting to resist internal struggles
You still love me when I don't
Acknowledging your continued love even when I struggle
You don't say anything
You don't verbalize your feelings
You just pull me close
You respond by pulling me close
Maybe breaking promises
Suggesting that breaking promises might have been necessary
Was what I needed
Reflecting on the idea that breaking promises served a purpose
Take it from me
Offering a perspective that life continues despite challenges
My world keeps turning
Despite everything, life goes on
