My eyes already blinding up from tears
On this instance you revealed to me my own fears
I can feel the tender touch of your hands
Leaving my fingers in utter loneliness
I sink into the couch but in my mind
My hands move gently into the secret chest
I placed the promises you gave to me
And each one of them seems unfamiliar today
This is the very first one dear
Yes, it's right in here
I think it reads l-o-o-o-ve, yes it's love
But where is it now?
And this other one? Patience... did it slip away that first?
Share a home someday is something we both dreamt of
Is it that the home crumbled down before we got in?
Or
Could it be that you've lost your own share of the dream?
Anyway, mhh.. what about this other one
Children of our own? Where are they now?
Did they vanish even before being born?
No no no I think I should stop before all the questions hold me hostage within my own cage
I will forgive myself for having agreed to take all these
Having accepted you in the first place
Having been swayed to carry all the glittering promises
That soon... soon faded away!
