InterleavedOriginalTranslation

Baru saja kita bertemu empat, lima kaliWe’ve only met four or five times,

Ku sudah ingin lebih dari inibut I already want more than this.

Masuk ke lingkaran terdekatmu sekian kaliI’ve entered your inner circle so many times,

Ku yakin kamu yang aku carithat I’m certain you’re the one I’m looking for.

Selama iniAll this time,

Kita tak di lembar yang samawe haven’t been on the same page.

Ternyata hanya akuIt turns out it was only me,

Ternyata hanya satu hatiit turns out only one heart was involved.

Yang berbunga-bunga sendiriThe flowers were only blooming for me,

Dari yang kauberikanbecause of everything you gave.

Apa ku berlebihan?Was I being too much?

Sepenting itukah, sampai harus aku di sini?Was it that important, that I had to be here?

Bertemu ayah dan ibumuI even met your father and mother,

Apa perlu sejauh itu?did it really need to go that far?

Jika kamu tak benar mauIf you didn’t truly want this,

Ternyata hanya akuthen it turns out it was only me.

Ternyata hanya satu hatiIt turns out only one heart,

Yang berbunga-bunga sendirihad those romantic feelings blooming alone.

Dari yang kauberikanFrom everything you shared,

Apa ku berlebihan?did I overreact?

Kamu bilang, belum siap jatuh cintaYou said you weren’t ready to fall in love,

Padahal kamu juga yang memulainyaeven though you’re the one who started it.

Kamu yang membuat aku jatuh cintaYou’re the one who made me fall for you,

Dan mundur sebelum ke tahap berikutnyaonly to back away before we moved to the next step.

Ternyata hanya akuIt turns out it was only me,

Ternyata hanya satu hatiit turns out only one heart,

Yang berbunga-bunga sendiriwas feeling these sparks alone.

Dari yang kauberikanBased on what you gave to me,

Apa ku berlebihan?was I being too much?

Dan yang kauinginkanAnd all you ever wanted,

Hanya sebatas temanwas to be nothing more than friends.
