Set It Off - I Promise Lyrics






If you stepped back and realized
I'm sure that you'll see
That these words that were spoken eventually
Will dwell in my conscience
Til my dying day
Oh what can I say to change your perception
Want me by your side?
The fact that you moved on
Makes me wanna cry
If you open your door
I'll be there with arms wide
Just begging and praying
For one more goodbye

So I'll wait for you
Even though you don't want me to
Because I'm not over you
I promise
This word they call love
Come push or to shove
I meant it and now I'm in tears, my love
Oh my love, oh..

I keep telling myself that
It's not what it seems
And wish that you wouldn't
Keep haunting my dreams
I'll shoot out of bed and
Wake up in a sweat
How could I forget?
I imagined the worst when
You were on the phone
As you sat there and told me
That you were alone
I could see him, I know how
He makes you behave
That this wasn't the girl
That I kissed on our date

But I'll wait for you
Even though you don't want me to
Because I'm not over you
I promise
This word they call love
Come push or to shove
I meant it and now I'm in tears..
Because I'm not over you
I promise
You won't see this face
Show up at your place
Although I'm in town
I'll stay here, my love
Oh my love, my love
Oh my love

And I should know better
Give up while I can
And prove to the world
That I'll be my own man
You broke me and took me
Along for the ride
And this pain that you've left me
Should make me subside

But I'm not over you
(I'm not over you
I'm not over you
I'm not over you)
I promise
This word they call love
Come push or to shove
(I wish I could do anything to get you back)
I meant it and now
I'm in tears
Because I'm not over you
('cause I'm over)
I promise
You won't see this face
Show up at your place
(Don't let me go)
Although I'm in town
I'll stay here
'Cause I'm not over you
I promise
This word they call love
Come push or to shove
I meant it and now
I'm in tears
My love

    Worm Thank you for commenting the lyrics but your profile picture is terrifying-

  12. k.... s....

    “Wish that you wouldn’t keep haunting all of my dreams”

    “And I will haunt you fucking dreams”

    Damn Cody you made a reference to a song you haven’t even wrote yet!

  13. K.... C....

    I'm Not Over You (I Promise)

    K.... C....

    OH MY- i see you’re a man/woman of culture as well.

  14. R.... L....

    Love this so much!

  15. T.... O....

    This becomes way less emotional if you imagine the singer as a delusional stalker who doesn't realise this girl wants literally nothing to do with him.

    T.... O....

    Thomas Strauss this just killed my mood 😂😂😂

    T.... O....

    You could say that about most love songs though.

  16. P.... ....

    Psh, such a plastic promise... I regret nothing

    P.... ....

    You have no shame, you criminal mind

    P.... ....

    Guys stopppp he meant no disrespect, and stop naming all these different songs and get some sleep... it’s past midnight

    P.... ....

    @Basia Klaudeman oh dude, that was good

    P.... ....

    @Basia Klaudeman I definitely think it's arrogance. Also, these puns are uncontainable. We should probably stop before it ends in tragedy

    P.... ....

    @Matthew Foster damn that was The Grand Finale, i bet you're Happy All The Time, i mean who wouldn't be when they have such great @Replies? ok, Hush Hush now because your Swan Song was loud and clear and im sure we all heard it

    When I first saw her, I was captivated by her beauty. "What if I could be with her?" I thought. I instantaneously put that thought out of my mind. “Are you kidding?!” I thought in reply. "You'll never be with her. She's out of your league. You're not good enough for her." And really, who was I? A nobody. I'd be lucky if I was even able to talk to her. I did however get my chance.

    To my surprise (and great joy), we had a lot in common -- so much in common that it was almost scary. The more I got to know her, the more I realized she was the girl of my dreams and more. Yet we were only friends and I was content with friendship -- that's what I told myself, at least. Honestly, I wasn't.

    She seemed interested in every other guy except for me, and although I wished that she would want me, her happiness took precedence over mine. I would fulfill my duties as a friend: listening to her, talking with her, spending time with her in general, comforting her when she needed it, making her smile -- friend stuff.

    One night I was texting her. I don't recall what prompted her to say it, but she said this: “If I didn't have a boyfriend, I would have such a crush on you.” I told her I was flattered. I thought she was just being nice. In any case, I decided to come clean. I told her that I did have a crush on her, but I respected the relationship she had.

    Sometime later, she and her boyfriend broke up. Many suitors entered her life. They were great guys, better than I. There was one in particular who stood out and he and she really hit it off. “He's the one,” I thought. He was worthy of her. I was happy for both of them. However, there arose tension between them. Things just didn't work out. The day the two became distant -- literally and figuratively -- was the day she, some friends of ours, and I went to Six Flags.

    After we rode a couple rides, a torrential downpour commenced. I didn't mind because I loved the rain. It was strange how much it would lift my spirits while everyone else saw it as a bringer of gloom. It was perfect. It was raining and I was with -- only physically -- the person I loved and cared about more than anyone in the entire world. Ever since I'd met her, whenever it rained I wanted to exclaim, “It's raining and I love you!” At the first sight of a slight drizzle, I told her about this. The rain started to come down more and more until it was pouring. We turned to each other, smiled, and said in unison, “It's raining and I love you.” That was one of the happiest moments of my life.

    As life drew on, we drew closer. We wanted to get together, but we didn't want it to end and we didn't want to hurt each other. We end up did getting together though. I told I wasn't good enough for her, but she told me that I was too good for her. She also told me something that blew my mind: she liked me from the very beginning. I loved her with all of my being and she loved me. I've never been happier in my life than when I was in love with and loved by her.

    One day, I received a text from her. I knew that it was the end, and it was. She broke up with me. She told me she was too busy and she didn't want to make me any less than her top priority. She told me she would always love me. I was heartbroken, but accepted it and thanked her. I couldn't get over her though.

    I hadn't seen her in weeks before the break up. I ended up seeing her again a couple weeks after at a social event at my house. When I saw her, I saw that the love in her beautiful eyes was no longer present. It was in that moment that it was confirmed to me that it was over.

    I plunged into a deeper depression. I had treated her respect and love. I had once never wronged her. I had loved her and acted out of that love. Still, I wasn't good enough for her. I couldn't get over her -- or so I seemed.

    It took months, but I finally did. I felt liberated and gained a new sense of clarity. I realized she really wasn't as good as I made myself believe she was. It is truly true that someone who is drunk is more sober than someone who is in love. This song encapsulates exactly how I felt during the months I couldn't get over her.
