[English]
I miss you, I miss you so much
But that's why I let go
...
I know you didn't ask
But I just wanted to say that I'm fine
You chased after perfection
But you ended up not finding it
Although I know it's over
I still want to ask you
Do you still put me first
Do you still think of me
I don't know, but what's the point
If this is going to be the last letter to you
...
I have tons of phrases
And all of them went unsaid
I just wanted to say they're phases
But I would be lying
You chased after perfection
But you ended up not finding it
Although I know it's over
I still want to ask you
Do you still put me first
Do you still think of me
I don't know, but what's the point
If this is going to be the last letter to you
Everything has an end
And I thought you were the exception
...
And I waited for you
Until this song appeared to me
Was it real
Do you still cry for me
I don't know but it ended up like this, blank
This loose page that I wrote to you without thinking
And the messages already speak for themselves
This is the last letter to you
...
