[English]

How?

Oh love, can you even hear?

The words from your lips make me crazy

I know I’m fragile and weak when it comes to you

Coz after all, I’m only human too

What I feel Is true, I’m not numb like you

You’re just used to letting someone go,

should I start to go away from you?

How about me? Someone who already fell for you.

Did you just let me go?

How about me? Someone who waited for a lifetime.

Am I worthless?

What do you expect me to do?

Are you doing this on purpose?

Hurting me just like a joke

After lending my shoulder

For you to lean on and cry to

What do you think of me?

A slave of love for you?

You did not value, what did I do?

After all the trust I put into you

What I feel Is true, I’m not numb like you

You’re just used to letting someone go,

should I start to go away from you?

How about me? Someone who already fell for you.

Did you just let me go?

How about me? Someone who waited for a lifetime.

Am I worthless?

What do you expect me to do?

How about me? Someone who already fell for you.

Did you just let me go?

How about me? Someone who waited for a lifetime.

Am I worthless?

What do you expect me to do?
