Promises

• I think this song is about a man who is trying to be strong and pretend that he doesn't care about the woman he loves so much.

I don't care if you never come home, I don't mind if you just keep on Rowing away on a distant sea, Cause I don't love you and you don't love me.

• She goes out with other "lovers" and he continues to pretend he isn't hurting from everything she is doing to him, so he leaves her alone.

I don't care what you do at night, Oh, and I don't care how you get your delights. I'm gonna leave you alone, I'll just let it be, I don't love you and you don't love me.

-He never imagined that this would happen to them since they had made promises to be there for each other forever.

I got a problem. Can you relate? I got a woman calling love hate. We made a vow we'd always be friends. How could we know that promises end?

• He is trying to do all of this for her because it is how she wanted it and he was just trying it for her sake to see if she might come back to him if he pretends he doesn't need her. In reality he always needed her. He was always ready and willing... waiting for her for years. In the end he is finally breaking down and confessing how much he loves her and would take her back if she would just love him.

I tried to love you for years upon years, You refuse to take me for real. It's time you saw what I want you to see, And I'd still love you if you'd just love me.
