[English]

So used to ask me why is the river dry?

The glass isn't empty. You knocked it

onto its side. I felt so heavy.

Trying to keep you light.

got away,

but I'm not this time. I won't save. I

won't save your salvation.

I can take I can see all your

expectations.

Always I can feel it changing changing.

I see your salvation.

Heat. Heat.

Why you be kind

to know I'm not afraid?

I take the battle you out your fire.

Make sure you don't get hurt.

I'm the one who burns.

You never

I will save. I will save your salvation.

I can take I can take all your

expectations

now. Please don't for me.

We find

straight through the CL

to turn around.

I don't want to save you now.

I don't want to save you.

I'm too tired now. Please don't from me.

Let me

for a chance

to put your mind at ease.

So you still ask me why is the river

guy.
