[English]
I don't even know why you left
How much I missed you
And I'll live with sadness
And I couldn't say goodbye
You marked my life
Lived and died in my story
I even fear the future
And the loneliness that knocks at my door
And I liked you so much
...
I liked you so much
...
I run, I flee from this shadow
In dreams, I see this past
And on the wall of my room
Your picture is still there
I don't want to see it to not remember
I even thought about moving
To any place that doesn't exist
The thought of you
...
And I liked you so much
I liked you so much
...
I don't know why you left
How much I missed you
And I'll live with sadness
And I couldn't say goodbye
You marked my life
Lived and died in my story
I even fear the future
And the loneliness that knocks at my door
And I liked you so much
...
I liked you so much
...
I run, I flee from this shadow
In dreams, I see this past
And on the wall of my room
Your picture is still there
I don't want to see it to not remember
I even thought about moving
To any place that doesn't exist
The thought of you
And I liked you so much
I liked you so much
I liked you so much
I liked you so much
...
