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 - เพลง
To whom it may concern, stop breaking laufey's heart coz she conveys it beautifully that it makes us cry 😭
FRR
REAL
TRUU😭😭😭
FR I've got to find the guy and bust some kneecaps now that I've heard this song.
Yes
Sang this at prom night after the official release, only had 1 night to memorize, managed to memorize it and it was all worth it.
Good job!
That sounds so nice :)
yoooo slay. I also sang at my prom but i sang conversations with the moon 👍

@@markjim2386eyy 👋
It’s so cool how Laufey included the chords in the lyric video!
She loves her sheet music. I love how you sells them it just shows how she wants her fans to cover her songs. Wish more artists did that
@@felixmata2066 I agree! Laufey is a pretty special artist :)
I know! I ❤ it!!!
Absolute in LOVE with all of those Fm6 chords tugging on my heartstrings 😍😭
Hope she continues this. I should spend time training my ear, but I’ll happily be lazy if she’ll enable me
IT HURTS TO BE SOMETHING IT'S WORSE TO BE NOTHING WITH YOU 🗣🔥
IVE DONE THE MAAAATH THERES NO SOLUTION!!!
WELLL NEVER LASTTTTTTTTTTT
WHY CANT I LET GO OF THIS 😫
..SOO I BROKE MY... PROMISE
I CALLED YOU LAST NIGHT🗣🔥💯
I love how deeply the instruments in the music connect to the lyrics. Every tone sounds purposeful. Laufey you are a genius.
Beauty and Brains (≧∇≦)/
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
“i called you last night, i shouldn’t have, i wouldn’t have, if it werent for the sight of a boy who looked just like you.” one of the most relatable lyrics ive heard in my life
yep.
REAL OMG
what i be listening to when the boys aint around
Your chord progressions are always incredibly beautiful. They make me feel like I took a time machine back to a 100 years ago.
She liked your comment bro😮?
@@bilqeeshanafey i know! 🙂
OOOOO SHE LIKED UR COMMENT
And her vibrato is so subtle but amazing.
“I’ve done the math, there’s no solution. we’ll never last” REAL OMG.
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.
stole the words right out of my mouth :')
I had chills reading your comment while the music played...
Honestly, you should pursue your 13 year old dream, even if it means losing your mother's support. Once your mom sees the amount of happiness and bliss you get as you strive for your dream career, she'll one day support you. Hope this makes you feel better even for just a bit. :)
@@wallie963 im reading your comment in school and im like trying not to cry in class 😭 thank you tho truly, I really appreciate what you said, it's giving me hope
"Why cant i let go of this?"
u said it so beautifully
Listening to this song because dying isn’t an option 🫰
real
Help same
what.
same...
It is a option, just not a good one
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.
I'm so sorry that you had go through that :( I hope your next relationship is better. Break ups suck sometimes :( ❤
@@lylithslilac Thank you for your kind words 🩷 They really can
I'm so sorry... but i'm happy to see how mature you are taking the situation, even if it still hurts...
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.💜
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.
"It hurts to be something, It's worse to ve nothing with you"
Bro this is so real
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.
❤❤❤
"it hurts to be something... it's worse to be nothing with you" that part punched me tight in the heart... its just so relatable.
Her musical originality will take her to stardom as she continues to mature. How beautiful she is .
Everytime i'm feeling down, due to some family issues, i always hear laufey's songs, and cry all tears there is to cry.
I know laufey will never see this, but every single one of your musics stay by my side on such dificult times.
Thanks laufey, thanks for existing and showing the world some love and confort❤
This song perfectly sums up a situation I'm struggling with right now, I can't manage to break connection and move on. And my friend told me last year that the universe sends you songs when you most need it and wow. This speaks to me. I've had way too many signs and I want to ignore them. It's so hard to get over it and move on. So I will listen to this, and remind myself. I am so much more “it hurts to be something, it's worse to be nothing with you”
You’re not alone 😭
Me too! It sucks ass. But this song is bringing me closer to finally ending it. I’m wishing you,everyone else who may be going through this, a speedy healing ❤️🩹 we deserve better
@@popular-trash7413 SAME DUDE ITS SO HARD THO 😭😭
The universe isnt conscious lol, but Jesus is. Jesus likes music, I think he'd definitely show you thinks to help you through hard stuff. He loves you
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!
The Banana Fish fandom can never catch a break.
oh god stop
just when i was forgetting about this 😭
this physically pains me for some reason
wdym?
The body keeps the score.
It's because music has borderline magical effects on the human psyche, which controls the body and one's perception of it.
Um. Translated that means music make brain sad, brain make body sad
I’m crying cuz it reminds me of realizing that was my last goodbye to my tutor since he doesn’t work
“Omg Laufey made a new song! Let me check it out rq” …. Sobbing
laufey is fairy godmother
fairy godlover
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, mmm
So I didn't call you
For sixteen 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
There's 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, mmm
It hurts to be something
It's worse to be nothing with you
I'm saying it SatoSugu
This song kind of lit my fire for writing music again, so uncalled of, did not expect it at all the very instant I clicked this video. I have been thinking about if for awhile but this beautiful song must have persuaded my heart completely.
If heartache were a song.
FR!
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.
If it helps, that learning process is part of being human. Outside of cliche, you have your entire life to explore that. And that's a wonderful thing.
I mean it sounds like you are way too young to be worrying about that stuff
The vocals, the visuals, the instrumental, the lyrics the concept is a MASTERPIECE

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'm so sorry you went through that. That has got to be impossibly hard...
And he was your best friend too, which makes it all the more painful. I'm so sorry.
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. 😭
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.
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
i’ve loved the same boy for over a year and, even though we never got together, he seemed interested in me, but at one point he told me i had to move on because he didn’t feel anything for me. This song makes me cry because that's exactly how i feel, I can't let him go, i am deeply in love with him.
Same, but now he's with someone else and he tells me about her all the time and sounds so happy.
Her music not only is great and relatable it inspires me to keep learning and playing music
Another song to be playing out loud. Thank you! ❤
Love playing this song on loop because then it's a loop of making a promise and continuing to break it every single time it replays
I love how the chord progressions are each and every one just conveys to each word so beautifully
Literally shaking.
Why do I find a laufey song that exactly represents how I'm feeling literally everytime I'm going through something 😭
Laufeys songs always sounds like they’ve fallen from heaven😭
Laufey, you're hurting me real time eventhough my real-life experience can't relate to the lyrics. This just shows how great as a musician you are ♡
"It hurts to be something, it's worst to be nothing "
This is another level of pain fr🫠❤️
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
i absolutely love the 'mmm' part. she's so talented i love her singing !!
“Are you Gojo Satoru because your the strongest? Or are you the strongest because you’re Gojo Satoru?”
🙁🥲
Laufey, you really don't know how much I needed this song to understand that the little I had with him was over and that despite everything I never had anything with him
I understood how much I miss him but now everyone has their life.
lyric videos never seem to disappoint
its the way i genuinely relate to every single lyric, thank you so much laufey for this song. its crazy how were all strangers, millions of us.. yet music brings us together so beautifully, we connect.
this is genuinely one of the most beautiful songs of all time. thank you.
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
She doesn't know, but she is my source of motivation to progress
I just can't help praising Him for your voice. While almost everyone is into bop music, K-pop and the like, here you are, though young, trying to bring back and introduce jazz to the new generation. I have encountered the word jazz before but haven't heard what jazz music sounds like. Im one of your fans from the Philippines. Glad also to see the video about your concert in Alabang.
You have a way to bring emotion into music I have never heard before! I love your music, keep up the amazing songs🩷🩷
Laufey is doing God's work, SHE EVEN PUT THE CHORDS IN THE LYRIC VIDD 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Its like she took every heartbreak I had to experience over and over again and turned it into a song. Fifteen years of right person, wrong time, trying everything I could to make it work, just to end in goodbyes that never happened and sleepless nights laying in bed thinking about what could have been. I'm so scared I'll never love anyone as much as I loved him. 😢
Sorry for the sad pity party. This song hurts in the best way, it's just so beautiful.
Underrated song
Many laufey songs are so underrated and should deserve more
This song is heavenly
So so cool for the artist to share the chords to their song. Never seen this before !
You are the besttt....taking this as my bday giftttt
Happy late birthday 🎉
How i wish i could see her concert in Sept
Thank you always for providing playthroughs and chords. Can't understand why others never do it.
I just heard your song when my son played it while studying.I really like jazz songs cause when I listen,it makes me feel like I'm bringing myself to the past..I love all your songs..❤ It's all beautiful ❤ It calms my mind and heart whenever I'm sad..Thank you!❤
More artists should add the chords to lyric videos! This is a great song and idea, Laufey. I love your music 🫶🫶
The fact that you included the chords in this. THANK YOU
i love this song and im SHOCKED by the fact that she only has 500k subs like shes blown up on tik tok and stuff but only 500k on yt she deserves atleast 10m even that might be a little low like this is perfect my ears are at peace now thank you so much. This song is too damn good i cant stress it enough!! I Feel like i need to give you something in return for making this song...its perfection in a sound, and a sound is already the best form of lauguage..Ur voice is so good and well trained that im getting into vocals and i love it. ive always loved music and singing on my own but now i do lessons on guitar, piano, and singing! this comments already really long but its not enough, Live Laugh Laufey!!
This is art. Just pure art.
Ears have been blessed with such a voice❤god bless you
beautiful song
This song makes me cry everytime 😭 thank you Laufey!
IM NOT EVEN GOING THROUGH A BREAKUP IDK WHY IM CRYING 😭😭
this is a literal masterpiece 😭 it sounds so depressing yet so beautiful
My life lately... My heart lately.. 💔
I think this is a really great way to proliferate others enjoying your music.
the first time i listened to this, i never thought i'd actually relate to the lyrics in the future.
Currently going threw like a best friend break up. i cant even begin to explain how much this just hits me, it all is like what im going threw and honestly i really love the song but i hate how ive like officially connect the break up situation with this song because now i cant listen to this without crying. and if im in public i have to skip this masterpiece
thank you Laufey
i love how thoughtful she is putting the chords
Hearing this is so healing, even tho it's towards a romantic relationship works for family too❤
Absolutely love your style of music, it's a subgroup of music which had yet to be filled without you. Keep up the work. 💕
AmbatuCRY😩😖
the amount of chills i get while listening to this is just unreal.
i didnt talk to her for 5 long weeks. i messaged her last night and we broke up. i was struggling so much with my mental health while we were together, but now i feel like its worsening.
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! 😂
Hey, this is a sign to not call them or write them back. I was in your same situation, a year ago, and I still think about them somehow. This lyrics hit me very much, because I saw myself in it. And if you also do, it’s better to not call them back. I know how much those “16 days” burn and make you cry, but you have to be brave and keep that promise. They made you feel bad, they made you feel sad, they made you feel stupid. Everything is going to be alright, I promise that you’ll be good. In a year I thought of the worst ways to call them, to write a text to them, but I never did. I even removed their number and blocked them, to take away the temptation. We didn’t even say goodbye to each other, just “I don’t feel good, I’m sorry” “It’s ok, just promise me this isn’t a way to escape” “I promise”, so you can guess how much hearing this song hurts. In the end, don’t break your promise. I’m near you, if you need support. You’ll be fine ❤️
still cant believe laufey invented music shes insane for that
I just found this song and it captures my feelings.
I recently found out my crush likes me back, and I confessed to him. A few days later, his friend sent me a message of him saying he’s losing feelings. it hurts a lot. I don’t wanna fall Inlove anymore.
this is so perfect. Thank you Laufey.
Absolutely love the inclusion of chords in the video...now I can directly play it on piano and won't have to search for some yt tutorial to spell it out! 🧡
Love the song and the accompanying video showing chord progressions. Thank You for sharing your marvelous talent.
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.
i think its 6/8
I was chitchatting with my partner and we are playing loud music from tiktok and suddenly this song played and we stopped talking and found out this song was on TH-cam ads, i did not skipped it because it captured my heart and soul and suddenly i began to looked this song to your channel
I love it and its perfect
This always reminds me of my past relationship. We were literally the happiest when we were together, even though we're both girls yet somehow she found it wrong for us especially for her religion. Eventually right after our anniversary we broke up while having our last date watching the world cup together. She said it was for the better, the better of us. I couldn't focus on my finals, it was painful to see that she's the only one who can benefit from it and can unlove me at that very moment and forget that our relationship existed.while on the other side I couldn't even bring myself not talking to her for a whole day. Then I made a promise to her that I won't ever text her or call her, since it's hurts to be just known to be her best friend and forget that our relationship ever existed(and respect her decision and her religion), but some weeks ago before new years I texted her I broke that promise I couldn't resist the temptation of being with her. I took the risk just loving her as a friend even now. It hurts to be something with her since we can't be and we can never be together yet, it's worse to be nothing with her.
Absolutely love this, so awesome to have the official chords so we can learn this gorgeous song too 🥰
Whoever's idea it was to include the chords, its very clever. Its probably very useful to actual musicians, but for non musicians like me it's a simple way to distinguish the work from other lyric videos and it adds a sense of depth and character and personalization that I like.
Never thought this song will hit my heart the hardest..
It gives Mitski vibes
It does.
Fr I love mitski too 😊
It’s unhealthy the amount of times I’ve listened to this song
Cry for the first time cuz of this song
This song makes me cry, because it reminds me of 20th century girl(I just finished watching it last week)
IT'S COOL YOU ADD THE CHORDS AND THAT'S WHY SHE IS THE BEST ARTIST OUT THERE!!!😊
So beautiful. This song touches the heart strings
0:50 "It hurts to be something." it really does.
Ugly crying to this song.
Been in a relationship for more than 6 years, and all should be going well despite him having CKD. Transplant was already expected by end of 2023.
He proposed last Aug unfortunately, a week later, he did not make it.
Laufey's beautiful songs remind me of our days filled with love and at the same time it makes me so sad.
"it hurts to be something but its worse to be nothing with you" 😢
Oh god ☹️ hope he’s in a better place and you’re doing well 🫶🏻
Yo Laufey. I just wanted to say that you make the best songs. I heard your songs this whole year. Your songs are the best, and your voice is calming and nice. The truth is, most of your songs relate to my life actually. Have a happy new year
