Ma-Manifest ya, ya, ya, yaMa-Manifest, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yalnız kalmadım işteI didn’t end up alone, you see.
Görcen sen bu gidişleYou’ll see, at the rate you’re going.
Sensiz daha iyiIt’s better without you.
Sensiz bensiz daha iyiyimWithout you, without ‘us’, I’m doing much better.
Kaybettin bu dönüşleYou lost everything with this final turn.
Şimdi ne kaldı elinde?Now, what do you have left in your hands?
Sensiz daha iyiIt’s better without you.
Sensiz bensiz daha iyiyimWithout you, without ‘us’, I’m doing much better.
Sorsunlar banaLet them ask me,
Derdi yok sayanlarthose who try to ignore the pain.
Kalbimden sanaFrom my heart to yours,
Dik gelir yokuşlarthe climbs ahead are going to be steep.
Olmazlara inatDefying all the odds,
Dökülen onca teriall the effort I poured into us.
Silmedim inanI didn’t wipe it away, believe me,
Kapattım o defteri, yaI’ve just closed that chapter for good, yeah.
YerimeIn my place…
Koyamadın kimseyi benim yerimeYou couldn’t put anyone else in my place.
NeyineWhat were you…
Kapılıp da kaybettin o son eli de?Chasing when you lost that final hand too?
DeliyeDriven crazy…
Dönersin, böyle bastım bam telineYou’ll go mad, now that I’ve hit such a raw nerve.
DenemeDon’t even try…
O gemi aldı yol, dön artık evineThat ship has sailed, just go back home now.
Yalnız kalmadım işteI didn’t end up alone, you see.
Görcen sen bu gidişleYou’ll see, at the rate you’re going.
Sensiz daha iyiIt’s better without you.
Sensiz bensiz daha iyiyimWithout you, without ‘us’, I’m doing much better.
Kaybettin bu dönüşleYou lost everything with this final turn.
Şimdi ne kaldı elinde?Now, what do you have left in your hands?
Sensiz daha iyiIt’s better without you.
Sensiz bensiz daha iyiyimWithout you, without ‘us’, I’m doing much better.
Yaz, yaz, yazTake note, take note, take note.
Yaz yaz, aklının bi’ kenarına yazKeep it in mind, etch it into the back of your head.
Kendimi seçtim en sonundaI’ve finally chosen myself.
Senle geçen tüm günlerimin hatrınaFor the sake of all the days we shared.
Gözünü aç kapa beni belki orda bulursunBlink your eyes, maybe you’ll find me there for a moment.
Üşüyünce anılarına sarılıp uyursunWhen you get cold, you can wrap yourself in memories and sleep.
Pişman olup da dönme geriDon’t come back to me full of regret,
Kapattım o defteri, yabecause I’ve closed that chapter for good.
Yalnız kalmadım işteSee, I didn’t end up all alone.
Görcen sen bu gidişleYou’ll realize that at this rate.
Sensiz daha iyiIt’s much better without you.
Sensiz bensiz daha iyiyimI’m better off without you and without us.
Kaybettin bu dönüşleYou’ve lost everything with this turn.
Şimdi ne kaldı elinde?Now, what do you have left in your hands?
Sensiz daha iyiIt’s much better without you.
Sensiz bensiz daha iyiyimI’m better off without you and without us.
Batırdığın güneş yine bir gün doğabilirThe sun you made set might rise again one day,
Gözünün önünde dursa da yakabilirand even if it’s right before your eyes, it can still burn.
Kalıcı olmuyor hiçbi’ şeyNothing ever stays permanent.
En dibi görmeden hazır zirveye kurulanYou tried to reach the top without ever hitting rock bottom.
Hadi şimdi gözümün içine bak, söyleGo ahead, look into my eyes and tell me.
Kaldı mı yanında seni seven biri böyleIs there anyone left who loves you like I did?
Kim bilebilirdi, hepsi tersine dönecekWho could’ve known that everything would turn around?
Ben parlarken senin ışığın sönecekWhile I’m shining, your light is going to fade away.
Yalnız kalmadım işteSee, I didn’t end up all alone.
Görcen sen bu gidişleYou’ll realize that at this rate.
Sensiz daha iyiIt’s much better without you.
Sensiz bensiz daha iyiyimI’m better off without you and without us.
Kaybettin bu dönüşleYou’ve lost everything with this turn.
Şimdi ne kaldı elinde?Now, what do you have left in your hands?
Sensiz daha iyiIt’s much better without you.
Sensiz bensiz daha iyiyimI’m better off without you and without us.
Yalnız kalmadım işteSee, I didn’t end up all alone.
Görcen sen bu gidişleYou’ll realize that at this rate.
Sensiz daha iyiIt’s much better without you.
Sensiz bensiz daha iyiyimI’m better off without you and without us.
Kaybettin bu dönüşleYou’ve lost everything with this turn.
Şimdi ne kaldı elinde?Now, what do you have left in your hands?
Sensiz daha iyiIt’s much better without you.
Sensiz bensiz daha iyiyimI’m better off without you and without us.
