[English]
So used to ask me why is the river dry?
The glass isn't empty. You knocked it
onto its side. I felt so heavy.
Trying to keep you light.
got away,
but I'm not this time. I won't save. I
won't save your salvation.
I can take I can see all your
expectations.
Always I can feel it changing changing.
I see your salvation.
Heat. Heat.
Why you be kind
to know I'm not afraid?
I take the battle you out your fire.
Make sure you don't get hurt.
I'm the one who burns.
You never
I will save. I will save your salvation.
I can take I can take all your
expectations
now. Please don't for me.
We find
straight through the CL
to turn around.
I don't want to save you now.
I don't want to save you.
I'm too tired now. Please don't from me.
Let me
for a chance
to put your mind at ease.
So you still ask me why is the river
guy.
