[English]

I like your eyes you looked away

When you pretended to care

I like the dimples on the corners of the smile that you wear

You wore them more with her

I knew and I was scared

I let myself fall deeper

But I was prepared

I liked your shirt, the one I gave you

Can't forget how you smell

But now on different shoulders

Hang the jacket I used to wear

I loved you for so long

Sometimes it's hard to bear

But after all this time

I wish you well from here

I loved you every minute

Every second

Loved you everywhere and

And any moment

Always and forever was just

For a moment 'cause

I was not the one

I don't know how

I loved you til the last of snow disappeared

Missed you on the rainy days of the year

Never knew of pain like this

But I've got to know

Thought I loved you so

Why did you go?

I hate the way you let us go

Like it was all just nothing

I hate the way you hit the notes

But not the words I'm saying

I hate the little things

Like when I'm unaware

I still remember how

We broke so perfectly

Though sometimes when life brings me down

Time can heal my heart

Through the bad rainy days

I know that I will be okay

I loved you every minute

Every second

Loved you even if it was for a moment

Always and forever can wait for the time because

You were not the one

I know that now

In a world still full of life

I'll see color

In a bit of time

'Cause we deserve better

Always and forever when the right one comes because

Part of loving you

Is letting go

Part of loving you

Was letting go
