Anuv Jain – Inaam Lyrics English Translation
Verse 1
You know, don’t you?
I understood you more than you understood yourself.
You were given everything
You kept asking for, year after year.
Like children crying for toys,
Begging with tears in their eyes,
Once they get them,
They forget them in just two days.
Verse 2
But toys don’t have hearts…
I do.
Only I know what’s right
And what’s wrong.
I loved you so deeply,
Yet now you don’t even remember me.
Do you remember
You used to call me your “reward”?
You did so much back then
Just to win me.
Now that same “reward,” my love,
Has turned into an accusation against you.
Pre-Chorus
My heart is my witness:
The moment I won you,
I actually lost.
Yes, things change —
Even I accept that.
But who could’ve known
You would change this much?
The one who once burned with love for me…
Why doesn’t he care anymore?
Chorus
What’s in your heart?
Tell me.
What more do you want?
Tell me.
What is missing here?
Tell me.
You got what you asked for —
Tell me.
And in return,
What more do you expect?
Tell me.
What did I even ask from you?
It was such a small thing…
What?
Sigh… that’s all.
Verse 3
Read the letters you once wrote to me,
At least read them now.
The promises you made —
Don’t break them like this.
The ink on those promises
Hasn’t even dried yet.
It’s your handwriting…
Or have you forgotten that too?
Verse 4
People may clap and say
You’ve won another reward.
There’s a smile on your face,
But your eyes aren’t happy at all.
I told you once,
I know you better than you know yourself.
Maybe I was wrong,
But this much I’ve learned:
Bridge
Every reward without appreciation
Is meaningless —
Like old toys lying at home,
Covered in dust.
They distract you for a moment,
But they never truly make the heart happy.
Verse 5
I used to sit at home
Writing the story of my heart.
Walls surrounded me —
Only walls listened.
I used to say,
“One day, the whole world will be in my hands.”
Outro / Reflection
The one who was once unknown
Now has his name on trophies,
Yet he’s still a prisoner —
Trapped behind the same walls.
In impossible dreams,
My wings cannot fly freely.
Final Chorus (Repeat)
You know, don’t you?
I understood you more than you understood yourself.
You got everything
You kept asking for, year after year.
Like toys you cried for,
Only to forget them later.
But toys have no hearts…
I do.
