What is my fault
I don’t understand love
Can you explain first
Why do I think
You’re so different
Not like the first time

If I’m wrong, forgive me
Don’t just leave me
I still want your love
Teach me whatever you want
Just don’t talk about how
I have to live without you
Verse ||
Is he there?
Until you forget
I am the one who is always loyal
Bridge
I miss the way we were before
Walk full of love. I want our love to be happy

THE WEIGHT OF THE PENDAM LYRICS
What happened?
Hopefully it doesn’t take you
Wounds that are hidden
Forever
I tried to hide it
Even though I’m carrying a lot of weight
Constant crying
And I
Like the blue sea
Those who don’t know the direction and purpose
Even though I’m loved
It doesn’t change my lonely daydream
I’m sorry I know
Flying high
Until I change it
Self
I tried to hide it
Even though I’m carrying a lot of weight
Constant crying
And I
Like the blue sea
Those who don’t know the direction and purpose
Even though I’m loved
It doesn’t change my lonely daydream
I’m sorry I know
Flying high
Until I change it
Self
Even though I’m loved
It doesn’t change my lonely daydream
I’m sorry I know
Flying high
Until I change it
Self
Flying high
Until I change it

SONG LYRICS
Floating my words welled up
Carried away by floating lake water
How should I be?
Pain comes into my life
Part time I also think about your feelings
But it’s not easier to be me
Lost everything
If only my pulse could beat longer
With you my life choice
But fate said otherwise and I had to be able to do it
It’s difficult to entertain sadness and sincerity
At the same time
But before I go
I entrust my love forever
Oh my soul speaks the truth
I want to be with you forever
But if time doesn’t permit
Be happy with him

TRY TO GO LYRICS
You promised not to leave
Leave me alone
Why since he was there?
You change hearts easily
I’ve tried to leave
Walk alone looking for a replacement
But I can’t do it myself
Because I’m honest
If you’re not by my side anymore
Let me live without love
How stupid I am
Who is always waiting for you
Which apparently wasn’t for me
I’ve tried to leave
Walk alone looking for a replacement
But I can’t do it myself
Because I’m honest
If you’re not by my side anymore
Let me live without love
Because I’m honest
If you’re not by my side anymore
Let me live without love
Let me live without love

BACK TO BEGINNING LYRICS
I did it on purpose
Make room for you
To understand time
I don’t want to
Repeat the same method
To understand about us
Don’t force it if your longing loses meaning
Looking for fragments of lost trust
Go back to the beginning
Give me a reason
To stay with you
After getting tired of hoping
Away from time
Hopefully it matures
The meaning of that one feeling
Reflect on you and me
Sigh
I don’t want to repeat the same method
To understand about us
Don’t force it if your longing loses meaning
Looking for bits of flavor
Believe in the lost
Go back to the beginning
Give me a reason
To stay with you
After getting tired of hoping
Away from time
Hopefully it matures
The meaning of that one feeling
Reflect on you and me
Ho oh
Our road is indeed full of twists and turns
I hope there is certainty
To return to the beginning (to return to the beginning)
Ho oh
Give me a reason
To stay with you
After getting tired of hoping
Ho oh
Away from time
Hopefully it matures
The meaning of that one feeling
Reflecting on you and me (you and me)
Look in the mirror
You and me
Back to the beginning
