Detailed Analysis

These lyrics tell the story of a person reflecting on a romantic relationship marked by broken promises and emotional disappointment. The content is mild and emotionally relatable, with no explicit language, sexual content, violence, or references to drugs or alcohol. The themes of trust, heartbreak, and disillusionment in a romantic relationship are universal and handled tastefully. The imagery used — such as 'arm in arm we laughed like kids' — is innocent and wholesome. The emotional maturity required to fully appreciate the themes of betrayed trust and recurring heartbreak may be slightly beyond very young children, but the content itself presents no concerns for most age groups.

Lyrics

Never had a doubt in the beginning Never a doubt Trusted you true in the beginning I loved you right through Arm in arm we laughed like kids At all the silly things we did You made me promises, promises Knowing I'd believe Promises, promises You knew you'd never keep Second time around, I'm still believing The words that you said You said you'd always be here "In love forever" still repeats in my head You can't finish what you start If this is love it breaks my heart You made me promises, promises You knew you'd never keep Promises, promises Why do I believe? Arm in arm we laughed like kids At all the silly things we did But you can't finish what you start If this is love it breaks my heart You made me promises, promises You knew you'd never keep Promises, promises Why do I believe All of your promises You knew you'd never keep Promises, promises Why do I believe? Promises Promises Promises Promises Promises
