Next To Me – English Lyrics
Lyrics & Translation
[English]
(WIND BLOWING)
AJA: DEAR REYNOLD --
♪ (MUSIC IN BACKGROUND) ♪
MY HEART IS BROKEN.
IT'S SO BADLY BROKEN THAT I FEAR IT WILL NEVER BE WHOLE AGAIN.
I'M LEAVING YOU.
ALL THE PROMISES YOU MADE, ALL THE LOVE WE HAD...
DESTROYED.
MAYBE YOU NEVER MEANT IT.
MAYBE YOU KNEW ALL ALONG
YOU WOULD JUST STRING ME ALONG FOR ALL THESE YEARS...
YOU ARE NOT THE MAN I THOUGHT YOU WERE.
YOU NEVER WERE...
I BELIEVED WHAT WE HAD WAS SACRED.
YOU JUST GAVE IT AWAY...
ALL OF IT.
LYING, CHEATING, FAILURE...
I WILL ERASE YOU
FROM MY HEART, FROM MY MIND.
I WILL WASH YOU AWAY, AND I WILL NEVER LOOK BACK.
YOU CHOSE THIS.
YOU DECIDED THAT I WASN'T ENOUGH, AND THAT WAS IT.
I AM ENOUGH...FOR SOMEONE...
JUST NOT YOU.
GOODBYE.
AJA
