Tak mampu bertahanI can’t hold on anymore,
Cipt faisal asahanWritten by Faisal Asahan.
Lelah aku sembunyikanI’m exhausted from hiding
Lukaku dalam senyumanmy wounds behind a smile.
Nyatanya hatiku yang jadi korbanThe truth is, my heart became the victim.
Tak mampu lagi bertahanI just can’t endure it anymore,
Cintamu hanya jadi bebanyour love has only become a burden.
Aku yang telah dibutakan perasaanI was entirely blinded by my feelings,
Kukira dulu hatimuI once thought your heart
Tempat untukku berteduhwas a safe place for me to shelter,
Ternyata cintamu perlahan membunuhkubut it turns out your love is slowly killing me.
Bawa saja pergi cintamuJust take your love and walk away,
Jangan datang lagi padakudon’t ever come back to me.
Tertutup sudah pintu hatikuThe door to my heart is finally closed,
Telah kupaksa tuk melupakanmuand I’ve forced myself to forget you.
