Discover the story of the song > Promises – Hopes Die Last

The song is about the protagonist being in love with someone who makes them feel wild and high, but they are constantly telling them that they will be sweet and never leave their side as long as the protagonist doesn't break any promises. However, the protagonist feels like the promises are all wasted on themselves and they are not able to keep them. The repeated line "promises, and they still feel all so wasted on myself" emphasizes their feelings of disappointment and self-blame.
