Promise, the second single and ninth track of Laufey’s sophomore studio album Bewitched perfectly encapsulates the dreaded unshakable feeling of still being tied to someone you wish you could cut off. No matter how hard you try to create a distance, the bond seems impossible to break. With a remarka...
Promise Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I made a promise
To distance myself
Took a flight, through aurora skies
Honestly I didn't think about
How we didn't say goodbye
Just, "See you very soon"
[Chorus]
It hurts to be something
It's worse to be nothing with you
Mm, mm-mm, mm
[Verse 2]
So I didn't call you
For sixteen long days
And I should get, a cigarette
For so much restraint
No matter how long I resist temptation
I will always lose
[Chorus]
It hurts to be something
It's worse to be nothing with you
[Bridge]
I've done the math

We'll never last
Why can't I let go of this?
[Verse 3]
So I broke my promise
I called you last night
I shouldn't have, I wouldn't have
If it weren't for the sight of a boy
Who lookеd just like you
Standing out on Melrose Avеnue
[Chorus]
It hurts to be something
It's worse to be nothing with you
[Outro]
It hurts to be something
It's worse to be nothing with you
