Lyrics:
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
It hurts to be something
It’s worse to be nothing with you
So I didn't call you
For 16 long days
And I should get, a cigarette
For so much restraint
No matter how long I resist temptation
I will always lose
It hurts to be something
It’s worse to be nothing with you
I’ve done the math
Theres no solution
We’ll never last
Why can't I let go of this?
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 looked just like you
Standing out on Melrose Avenue
It hurts to be something
It’s worse to be nothing with you
#Laufey #Promise

i revoke any previous statments made about laufey. after some suggestions from friends i can see the appeal when its 3am and your crying because you'll never even be loved so you wont ever even get to experience heartbreak. i wont get the highs, i wont get the lows. i wont get any of it. tell me, is it worth it? is it worth the heartbreak for those magical nights? is it worth the split for those moments of pure love for eachother? i may never know

When I tell you I sobbed in my room yesterday for 2 hours while listening to laufey, I was IN SHAMBLES. My life honestly feels like a mistake, stuck behind everyone while they figure out what they want to be. I can hear everyone talking about their future but when I'm asked about it I can't even muster up an answer. I feel pathetic and useless, even if I get good grades how do I get a job? Buy a house? Go to college? Do taxes? I've got 5 years to finish my entire life for the next 50 years or more. And I don't know what to do.

[@nightowljp4373]

@@EJ_Campos15if it helps I dropped out of college thought I was going to literally die in Ohio unfulfilled and a big loser and ended up being fine. That was like 4 years ago now I’m in Portland. Life’s not perfect but I’m definitely better than before. And you will too. Most people I know that had a plan ended up ditching that plan anyways, I did.

[@cameronjadewallace]

Here's what I wish someone had told me at that time: Live for you. Do what YOU want to do. People come and go, but you're stuck with yourself; you can't leave. So find what makes you happy, and chase that with all your might. The people who chase you are the real ones.

[@idksomerandomperson6746]

Today, I just got out of a situation-ship. We loved each other dearly, but it couldn't work out. My parents strictly prohibit me from being in any romantic relationship. The religion I also am in also prohibits me from being with anyone romantically that isn't the same religion I am. I love him so much, but no matter what, I can't have him and it just really hurts. I really relate with the lyric "I've done the math, but there's no solution, we'll never last." Because It perfectly encaptures that helpless feeling. Laufey is honestly such an amazing artist and her music never fails to comfort me. I hope that whoever reads this has a wonderul day, thanks for reading 🩷

[@NixnIllingworth-t3h]

Plsssss hear my advice something similar to this happened, except it was a Christian religion. I liked this girl I’m pretty sure she liked me back I knew my parents wouldn’t accept it, so we kept on constantly flirting with each other but trust me please get back with him!! I know it might be hard and you don’t wanna get against your religion but don’t make the same mistake. I did that person could be right for you and you just left them behind like I did with my special someone no matter how hard it seems please try to get back with them, I don’t want people to end up like a hopeless, romantic :(

[@anki.2766]

fuck, that's awful. i'm trapped in a kind of similar situation, my gf's parents are homophobic and we've tried so many things to hide our relationship, but after a year and a half is just not viable anymore. she spoke to me six days ago and told me whether we should break up or not, and now she's kind of waiting for my response. i guess it'd be worse to be nothing with her rather than being "something" now... keep your chin up!

Idk if it's weird, but instead of a break up I connect this song to a dream job I'll never have that I promised my 13 year old self that I'll one day achieve. The part where it says "No matter how long I resist temptation, I will always lose" hits me so hard that I'm striving for a career I don't even want just so I can get my mother's support. Knowing if I achieve this "career" I've deemed a broken promise and a heartbreak from my 13 year old self. In her eyes, her and I have lost.

[@B34543fc]

Yes, the universe is a creation it can't have a personality, but the creator God, and his Son Jesus Christ want you to be happy and made whole. I can understand your situation entirely, and by my personal experience with it, you need to ask God for help and he will create a situation for you that makes it easy to leave, you simply must believe in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, that he died on the cross and was resurrected 3 days later and you will be saved! Once you start to believe his Holy Spirit will come on you and you'll want to live for Him! You'll start to lead a completely different life living in obedience to the word of God, and keeping your salvation requires that you bear good fruits, aka show your good character through your actions. Matthew 7:21 "Not every one that saith (says) unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth (does) the will of my Father which is in heaven." God bless you and your family, I'll pray for you to overcome your situation!

[@crowdiaa]

The song for me really hits so close to home. “It hurts to be something..it’s worse to be nothing with you” I was with someone for almost four years .. but I had known them for much longer. They were my best friend. But there was so much problems .. our love for each other was absolutely beautiful though. For years I felt like something was wrong with me I never understood it. He would get angry with me and ask me why I am how I am…. And I couldn’t ever answer that. Well it wasn’t until recently until we ended it officially that I couldn’t bare how I was anymore and it just turns out that I was misdiagnosed when I was younger with ADD when actually im on the autism spectrum. So it just hurts knowing that no matter what I was the issue in the end and we wouldn’t of ever lasted. I wish the term “it’s hard love a person with autism.” wasn’t a true thing.

I don’t know what to do. I have so many regrets. Everyone is constantly pushing things on me about my future. An athlete. An author. An architect. How can I grow to become them all if I don’t even know what I want? Sure, I like to measure out floor plans. I enjoy playing my sports. I adore imitating Shakespeare and writing deep stories, but it all feels so forced when my family tries to make it more than just my simplistic joy. I miss my old friends, and even though I hate them with every fiber of my being, I love them too much and want only the best for them. I loved her so much yet I despise her long face and pointy nose which had before defined beauty. She was my best friend and our antics were the only highlights of my stressful morns. This song speaks to me. Maybe someday I’ll stop thinking too much and I’ll just think normally. Perhaps life is meant to be lived when you stop caring. I doubt that future is for me.

[@gloris_ls7378]

Hey, just wanting to let you know that you are not alone! I’m confused too. Maybe it’s because we know too many things, like too many things that we don’t even know which one we are actually passionate about. It may take someone 1 day to find their life long passion, and it may take another 30 years. Stay strong brother :) Expectations are hard to overcome, it’s easier to just not care about it. We have 70 years to live, we can’t spend them all to fulfil somebody else’s wishes

This boy, honestly. I've been on and off liking him and its just SO hard to let go, i finally properly told my friends and whilst they encourage me to confess, i really just don't believe he likes me back. The next time i see him it will have been 16 days since i last saw him. And how i do miss him. It hurts, honestly, to like someone this much and be so unsure if its really reciprocated. My friends say they see signs but i can't see what they see. Especially since im autistic, its hard for me to express how i feel. Your songs have been so relatable to me for the past few weeks. It was from the start and now ive found this its another song added to the list. Thank you Laufey, for helping me cope with this, even if its not much writing this, i hope you are and stay happy.

I love this song by Laufey, it reminds me a lot of the boy I like 😢

[@williameid1366]

Lyrics: 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 It hurts to be something It’s worse to be nothing with you So I didn't call you For 16 long days And I should get, a cigarette For so much restraint No matter how long I resist temptation I will always lose It hurts to be something It’s worse to be nothing with you I’ve done the math Theres no solution We’ll never last Why can't I let go of this? 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 looked just like you Standing out on Melrose Avenue It hurts to be something It’s worse to be nothing with you

[@pause-_-670]

[@keerpacopeca]

beautiful

[@Sunnybunny332]

1:00 that vocal run was like butter 😭❤️

[@Birdsaurus]

I've often wondered why the most beautiful songs end up being also the sad ones, maybe cause they both have real feeling behind them?

[@tyronie]

lyric videos never seem to disappoint

[@kypoof4020]

I'm gonna cry for three days

[@axo-lotl4996]

how in feeling like rn :

[@pamels14]

La mejor forma de que se rompa mi corazón es así, con esta canción 😢

[@laurco]

I’ve been trying to figure out the chords and it’s cool to see how Laufey writes them out. It’s such a more complex song then it sounds - hope she publishes the sheet music wondering what the time signature really is.

[@michael_g2001]

i think its 6/8

[@noah7999]

I'm glad I discover the treasure that is Laufey's music after getting over my crush LMAO, otherwise I would be BAWLING my eyes out

[@sarahgoll8035]

There’s a mistake in the chords on this video- in the bridge the chord during “We’ll never last” should be an A9, not A7b9 because Laufey sings a B natural in the melody during that moment. Hope this helps if anyone was wondering why that chord sounded wrong while trying to play along :)

[@beyo124]

So beautiful. This song touches the heart strings

[@mariemenguirane8923]

"It hurts to be something, it's worst to be nothing " This is another level of pain fr🫠❤️

[@challisfannin4853]

It’s like if a parasite and a beautiful flower were both in a desperate situation where when they are together they are in pain and don’t work out but if they separate they both die

[@SimpForNikolaiGogol]

This actually makes me cry

[@msvntage]

LAUFEY SLAYING AS ALWAYS

[@Liv_735]

"it hurts to be something it's worse to be nothing with you" i felt that

[@Kaye258]

You have a way to bring emotion into music I have never heard before! I love your music, keep up the amazing songs🩷🩷

[@muhammadfaturrahman7401]

Ohhhh.... beautiful Song😮‍💨

[@aisimolihp]

This song makes me cry every time. It reminds me of my first love and even though im completely over her, this song always finds a way to remind me of my heartbreak. its so beautiful but so sad

[@gabrielgeraldo9413]

you making chords for this means so much

[@leilamat08]

More artists should add the chords to lyric videos! This is a great song and idea, Laufey. I love your music 🫶🫶

[@jonathan.weisman]

Thank you for this song. I know it's yours, but man it resonates.

[@eming101]

I've done the math there's no solution, It's last exam 😢

[@loviusbb]

kamu pasti akan sangat bersinar dengan lagumu yang sangat cantik! semangat Laufey, I ❤ U

[@ThePurpleCheeseMan]

I recently found Laufey's music and I love the vibe. I have so many songs I can cry to now, so that's exciting! 😂

[@vanillacandy3996]

My partner broke up with me. Laufey captures those feelings perfectly. All I can hope is that he grows without me. I packed a couple of books he let me borrow with a letter. All I can hope is that he can be more clear with the next person he loves; that he doesn't sugarcoat his true feelings, instead of using excuses and trying to let me down softly. Once someone falls out of love and they choose not to try, it's out of your hands. I wish this nostalgic heart of mine would stop holding onto the best memories. Maybe one day, I can see him as a friend, rekindle our relationship as new people and only as friends, just as he wanted. But for now? I'll wait. Wait until this nostalgic heart of mine stops smiling at the thought of his laughter, his gifts I had to get out of my sight, and heal with time.

[@lylithslilac]

I'm so sorry that you had go through that :( I hope your next relationship is better. Break ups suck sometimes :( ❤

[@vanillacandy3996]

@@lylithslilac Thank you for your kind words 🩷 They really can

[@lalalanis31b95]

I'm so sorry... but i'm happy to see how mature you are taking the situation, even if it still hurts...

[@DamienH06]

Omg my girlfriend broke up with me out of the blue after four years and I cannot describe the pain. I'm so sorry you had to go through that but we will make it and find someone who truly treats us the way we deserve. Sending lots of love your way.💜

[@allens_exist]

i'm going through the exact same thing rn, except that I havent reached that point where you are yet, in a sense that you've accepted things peacefully, longingly. there's still a lot of bitterness from me, and a little resentment i guess, that he couldn't choose me at the end. right now it still feels heavy that my efforts weren't for anything in the end. I've done sm for him and dedicated so much. but i hope one day i'll get where you are, at peace with it, not resentful and wishing the person i lost the best.

[@justsomeone6621]

I need this song in my veins

[@HeortirtheWoodwarden]

Sounds like a Steven Universe song.

[@EduardoGallano-jo8om]

1:52 This Part😢😢

[@wallie963]

Laufey has yet again stunned us with her musicality and perfect lyricism. I want her to be famous but at the same time, I want her to just be this exclusive shining gem for all of us. 😭

[@carolineandia758]

Live laugh love laufey

[@popipohoney]

las satosugu y yo cuando:

[@Vanitoevsky]

EVERYTHING ABT THIS IS LITERAL PERFECTION

[@miikaomocha]

Is it just me or does this song remind me of Magnolia (her other song) and it makes me wonder what it would sound like if you mix them together, they honestly fit well together in my opinion and very heart wrenching

[@ponytailmoth8548]

1:44 It hurts to be something It's worse to be nothing with you

[@melonamelodie9522]

Laufeys songs always sounds like they’ve fallen from heaven😭
