A cup of coffee, just me in solitude
No one left to share joy or sorrow
Adding so much sugar, yet the coffee still tastes bitter
Looking around, no one’s by my side
Bitter on my lips, bitter deep in my heart
Each day, our love shatters in the storms
You’re now with someone far away
Buried are those peaceful years
Leaving one person behind, day and night still regretting, still remembering
Sad rain falls in my dry heart
Where do these wandering feet go?
Bitter coffee, deep in my soul
You walked away, splitting our love in two
Yesterday drifts far, so far
That image still hasn’t faded
Empty coffee, just me alone
Sitting, counting the rain as the night slowly passes
Though today I walk in loneliness
Though bitter, I still say one thing
I am me.
Each passing day, love returns, now it’s just me and my child
Now the coffee still tastes bitter on my lips
When love fades, when love splits in two
But no matter what, I’m still me
And I’m still me
Even lost in solitude
Even in my own world
Even in the darkness of love
I’m still just me, that’s all
Each day, each day, I hide alone in a quiet corner
A cup of coffee, just me in solitude
No one left to share joy or sorrow
Adding so much sugar, yet the coffee still tastes bitter
Looking around, no one’s by my side
Bitter on my lips, bitter deep in my heart
Each day, our love shatters in the storms
You’re now with someone far away
Buried are those peaceful years
Leaving one person behind, day and night still regretting, still remembering
Sad rain falls in my dry heart
Where do these wandering feet go?
Bitter coffee, deep in my soul
You walked away, splitting our love in two
Yesterday drifts far, so far
That image still hasn’t faded
Empty coffee, just me alone
Sitting, counting the rain as the night slowly passes
Though today I walk in loneliness
Though bitter, I still say one thing
I am me.
Bitter coffee, deep in my soul
You walked away, splitting our love in two
Yesterday drifts far, so far
That image still hasn’t faded
Empty coffee, just me alone
Sitting, counting the rain as the night slowly passes
Though today I walk in loneliness
Though bitter, I still say one thing
I am me.
I am me.
I am me.
I am me.
