[English]

I never knew

When the clock stopped and I'm looking at you

I never thought I'll meet someone like you

Someone I thought that I knew

I never knew

I should have known something wouldn't be true

Baby, you know that I'm so into you

More than I know I should do

So why? Why? Why?

Why should we wait there?

And I, I, I, I should be waiting

Waiting for someone new

Even though that it wasn't you

But I know that it's wonderful

Incredible, baby, irrational

I never knew it was obsessional

And I never knew it was with you

Baby, if it's just wonderful

Incredible, baby, irrational

I never knew it was so sad

Just so sad, I'm so sorry

Even now I just cannot feel you feel me

...

So why? Why? Why?

...

Why should we wait there?

And I, I, I, I should be waiting

Waiting for someone new

Even though that it wasn't you

But I know that is wonderful

Incredible, baby, irrational

I never knew it was obsessional

And I never knew it was with you

Baby, if it's just wonderful

Incredible, baby, irrational

I never knew it was so sad

Just so sad, I'm so sorry

Even now I just cannot feel you fall

I don't even know, now I'm sure you'll wait for me

Even now I just cannot deny

I just hold on so tight until you and I never could breathe

Oh, wonderful

Incredible, baby, irrational

I never knew it was obsessional

And I never knew it was with you until you tell me to

Baby, if it's just wonderful

Incredible, baby, irrational

I never knew it was so sad

Just so sad, I'm so sorry

Even now I just cannot feel you feel me
