Lyrics & Translation

[English]
I should be the first to turn away
I’m smiling, pretending I’m okay
But my heart is saying no
It brings tears, begging me to hold on
The lips that used to say “I love you”
Those beautiful eyes that looked only at me
Now I wonder if you hate me
You only look anywhere but at me
My selfishness just kept growing
Not realizing I pushed you out of your place
I only blamed you and kept whining
Why is love always one step too slow?
I’m too scared, not strong enough
I’m nothing without you
All these days I lived holding only you in my heart
You know I have nothing but you, don’t you?
On that day when you were my sky
Like when I cried and laughed in your arms
Let me love you again
I’m not asking for anything
All you need is to stay by my side
Even if you give up on me completely, just believe in me
I feel like I could do anything
I’m too scared, not strong enough
I’m nothing without you
All these days I lived holding only you in my heart
You know I have nothing but you, don’t you?
On that day when you were my sky
Like when I cried and laughed in your arms
Give me one more chance
Do you remember the promise in our clasped hands?
Until the sea runs dry and the stars fall asleep
No matter what might tear us apart
I do (I do), I’ll always be with you
...
I love you, this heart of mine won’t change
It’s like I lent you to the world for a moment
I’ll keep thinking of you and wait
All I need is for you to say you’ll come back
...
