English

I didn’t think it was love, I told myself it wasn’t love
I deceived myself, but my heart kept calling your name
I take one step towards you, push you one step away
Each time, you grow in my heart

I must be loving you this much, must be waiting for you this much
Even though it hurts so much, my heart can’t seem to let you go
I think there must be just one love, I don’t think my heart will change
The love that I’ve kept only for you, I can now finally tell you

Your warm eyes, Your warm love
Flying away farther, but you are still growing up in my heart.

I must be loving you this much, must be waiting for you this much
Even though it hurts so much, my heart can’t seem to let you go
I think there must be just one love, I don’t think my heart will change
The love that I’ve kept only for you, I can now finally tell you
I love you

Sometimes love, at times tears
Even though it’s hard, I love you, I love you
I only need you by my side
I must still be loving you, I must still be waiting for you
My brain might be fooled, but my heart can’t be fooled
I think there must be just one love, I don’t think my heart will change
The love that I’ve kept only for you, I can now finally tell you
I love you
