[English]

You only watered the flower after it withered.

You only offered comfort after a heart grew cold.

A beautiful future was destroyed by your own hands.

I finally understood what it means for things not to go as planned.

Because of you, I once loved too humbly.

Always alone, secretly grieving at night.

Your lies were elaborately crafted.

Your promises to me were also insincere.

Drank cup after cup of wine.

For you, I got so very drunk.

Each cup held a bitter taste.

I poured out my heart and soul to you.

My heart broke, shattered into pieces.

Please don't make me cry anymore.

You only watered the flower after it withered.

You only offered comfort after a heart grew cold.

A beautiful future was destroyed by your own hands.

I finally understood what it means for things not to go as planned.

Your promises are truly too insincere.

You should save them for your next partner.

The past me was truly too foolish.

You truly don't deserve to have someone as good as me.

Drank cup after cup of wine.

For you, I got so very drunk.

Each cup held a bitter taste.

I poured out my heart and soul to you.

My heart broke, shattered into pieces.

Please don't make me cry anymore.

You only watered the flower after it withered.

You only offered comfort after a heart grew cold.

A beautiful future was destroyed by your own hands.

I finally understood what it means for things not to go as planned.

Your promises are truly too insincere.

You should save them for your next partner.

The past me was truly too foolish.

You truly don't deserve to have someone as good as me.

You only watered the flower after it withered.

You only offered comfort after a heart grew cold.

A beautiful future was destroyed by your own hands.

I finally understood what it means for things not to go as planned.

Your promises are truly too insincere.

You should save them for your next partner.

The past me was truly too foolish.

You truly don't deserve to have someone as good as me.
