[English]

Soaking wet clothes

I called you from a payphone

Could barely hear what you said

But you told me that I'm

No longer the one you want

I don't know why you left

I don't know why,

know why

I didn't get a chance to say goodbye,

goodbye

I know it's been a year but sometimes

I still shed a tear thinking of you

What can I say

These feelings won't go away

Time keeps passing by

But I can't get you off my mind

These feelings won't go away,

away

I try to be strong

I'm holding on

I practice my best fake smile

So that no one can see

How I've been feeling inside,

inside

I don't know why you left

I don't know why,

know why

I didn't get a chance to say goodbye,

goodbye

I know it's been a year

But sometimes I still shed a tear thinking of you

What can I say

These feelings won't go away

Time keeps passing by

But I can't get you off my mind

These feelings won't go away,

away

Oh why,

oh why

Did you leave without goodbye,

leave without goodbye

Oh why,

oh why

Did you leave without goodbye,

goodbye

What can I say

These feelings won't go away

Time keeps passing by

But I can't get you off my mind

These feelings won't go away,

go away

away

Oh why,

oh why,

oh why

Did you leave without goodbye

Leave without goodbye

These feeling won't go away,

away
