Formed in 1998, Adema began with Mark Chavez, Mike Ransom, Dave DeRoo, Tim Fluckey and Kris Kohls. The band later signed to Arista Records, releasing its first album, self-titled Adema, which was released in 2001. The first two singles from the album, "The Way You Like It" and "Giving In", helped it sell over 600,000 copies. The band followed up with two albums that met with limited success. Insomniac's Dream (2002), an EP, sold only about 50,000 albums, while Unstable (2003) sold about 110,000.

Promises Lyrics

Adema

I went outside to take a walk
So I could re-live memories
I thought that you would lend a hand
But you were never ever there

It's all in your mind
You do what you want to do
Your promises are all played out
You've got to wish you've worn me down
I've treated you the best I could
I realize that I don't need you

I lost my way when you left home
I thought that you could change your life
What did I do? Why do you lie?
You've walked back in
My hands are tied

It's all in your mind
You do what you want to do
Your promises are all played out
You've got to wish you've worn me down
I've treated you the best I could
I realize that I don't need you

It's all in your mind
You do what you want to do
It's all in your mind
You do what you want to me
I'm tired, I'm so damn angry with you

You're not gunna change
I see who you really are

Your promises are all played out
You've got to wish you've worn me down
I've treated you the best I could
I realize that I don't need you

Your promises (x3)
They're all played out

You're so played out (x3)
They're all played out
