Recently, I love this line of lyrics very much,
“Talk is cheap, give me a word you can keep.”
It is from a song called “Halfway gone.”
This line reveals the disappointing while some promises have not been kept by others.
It’s like someone you care about always keep you disappointed, that certainly hurts and sad.
In Chinese culture there is slang about a word worth thousand dollars, I think that is a similar meaning.
One can say something easily, talk is easy, but keeping what you’ve said, maybe not that easy!
So it reminds us to keep our words seriously or we might hurt some people’s feelings.
I think this line makes me think a lot, and it also gives me some reflection on myself.
