The Promise Lyrics

The first verse kinda makes sense once you think about it.

This guy is doing better than the old guy, which was what she was used to. She's not used to someone who buys what he wants and the things he buys are things she needs. She believes in love, but after so much heartache she wondering can love actually last as she once believed it could, and if it can, then just maybe she will let herself fall for the guy.

At least that's what I got from it. Yeah, Cheryl did mention in an interview that the song was about falling in love uncontolably. You promised you self you weren't going to fall in love again, but then as soon as you make that promise, Mr. Right comes along and charms your socks off and you're trying so hard to fight it, but you can't.
