[English]

tears/It's not love

Whenever I try to leave you by saying goodbye

I remind of your sad face and it grabs me firmly

I tried to leave again

but still, my heart aches by your memory

So I keep look back

It makes me to stay, what should I do

I can't leave you since my heart aches

But I'm trying to go away from you

Since it is not a good way to stay

by your side by feeling sorry for you

Thinking of me, to be separate is the best

Thinking of you, whether you will be alright

without my presence bothers me most

I still think much of you, You are special to me yet

I feel no love for you I feel sorry for you

I can't let things like this

I can't leave you since my heart aches

But I'm trying to go away from you

Since it is not a good way to stay

by your side by feeling sorry for you

This is not what you want.

You want true love, not just staying with each other.

You will not want me with the empty heart

Just meet someone who loves you, who wants you

Then you will be happy

I can't leave you since my heart aches

But I'm trying to go away from you(I'm sorry)

Since it is not a good way to stay(being with you)

by your side by feeling sorry for you(is not for you)

I can't leave you since my heart aches

(Can't leave you)

But I'm trying to go away from you

(I will be leaving you)

Since it is not a good way to stay(I'm sorry baby)

by your side by feeling sorry for you

I really wish you to be happy again
