For years, I kept promises in boxes
Hid them under my bed, inside drawers and cabinets
I hid them in the shallow corners of my heart
For years, I kept on dreaming
Dreamt of warm hugs and forehead kisses
And every night I find myself hopelessly crying
For years, I have loved
Friends and strangers, loved them in the best possible way
But I failed, I have always failed not only them but myself as well
For years, I have given up
I have given up on finding love, on finding the one who has the other half of my heart
And at that moment, the universe gave me the best surprise of my life

For years, I kept promises in boxes
Hid them under my bed, inside drawers and cabinets
I hid them in the shallow corners of my heart
For years, I kept on dreaming
Dreamt of warm hugs and forehead kisses
And every night I find myself hopelessly crying
For years, I have loved
Friends and strangers, loved them in the best possible way
But I failed, I have always failed not only them but myself as well
For years, I have given up
I have given up on finding love, on finding the one who has the other half of my heart
And at that moment, the universe gave me the best surprise of my life
