Verse 1

The secrets we shared are still between us

If happiness was in the stores

I would've bought it for you

The love for you, has it truly stopped?

We enjoyed our time together

But we grew apart, as if by fate

I wonder now if you're listening to this, and do I still make you proud?

Because even when nobody else did

You gave me all your support

Prechorus 1

My feelings are a mix, my love is pure

Our paths will cross

It doesn't matter how long it takes

Chorus 1

You told me: Stay true to yourself, stay true to yourself

Stay true to yourself

So that's what I did, I took the

Time for myself

It was able to ease the pain

Yet you still sometimes cross my mind

As if I never let you go

But going back in time isn't an option

Maybe you think it's not right

When I say that our paths will cross

An alcoholic doesn't tempt fate

The love I have for you doesn't stop

Verse 2

I'm writing down what we had before

I wanted to say this, so I hope you're listening to this

I'm writing a verse that feels like my last message

Because I know how to say what I hadn't known for a long time

It's okay if it doesn't go back to how it was

When you still gave me everything I had missed from before

Maybe it was me and not you

Who made too many mistakes

That's why all photos of me on your phone have been deleted

Prechorus 2

My feelings are a mix, my love is pure

Our paths will cross

It doesn't matter how long it takes

Chorus 2

I told you: Stay true to yourself, stay true to yourself

Stay true to yourself

At least I wish that

I had told you

Now you cross my mind

And I have you here in my arms one more time

As if I never let you go

But going back in time isn't an option

Maybe you think it's not right

When I say that our paths will cross

An alcoholic doesn't tempt fate

My love for you doesn't stop

Outro

I'm writing down what I had wanted

To say earlier, so I hope you're listening to this

Ever wished you could send a message to someone from your past? That's exactly what German artist Zeno does in his song "Ik Hoop Dat Je Dit Luistert," which translates to "I Hope You're Listening to This." The song is a heartfelt letter to a former love, reflecting on a relationship that ended not because the love disappeared, but because they simply grew apart.

Zeno mixes feelings of nostalgia, gratitude, and a little regret. He remembers the secrets they shared and how this person supported him before anyone else. A key piece of advice she gave him was to "Blijf bei jezelf" (Stay true to yourself). Now, he's putting his feelings into this song, hoping she hears it. He believes their paths will cross again someday because, as he sings, his love for her never truly stopped.
