I once thought love was like a flame
That could warm every nook and cranny
I gave so much for you
But what I got in the end was just despair
Those days we spent together
All the plans we made were shattered
You left without a backward glance
Leaving me here drowning in silence
Memories keep flickering
Piercing right through my heart
I thought true love would suffice
But reality proved to be too unkind
I tried hard to be free and easy
Yet tears still trickled down
This affection is too hard to part with
I don't have to love you not necessarily
It's just that I got used to a life with you around
Now that you're gone my heart is left hollow
How on earth can I bear this pain
I don't have to love you not necessarily
It's just that love has taken root deep within me
Trying to forget you is sheer torture
Could this be the bitter fruit of love
I attempt to start anew
But memories keep dragging me back
The past is like a rope
Tightly coiling around me
I want to pour out my heart
But I don't know whom to confide in
The sadness dwelling in my heart
I can only keep it to myself
Perhaps time will heal
This wound inflicted by love
I'll no longer cling to you
Setting myself free at last
No more sadness because of you
I'll learn to love myself better
There will be new sights in the future
I'll walk through with courage
I don't have to love you not necessarily
It's just that I got used to a life with you around
Now that you're gone my heart is left hollow
How on earth can I bear this pain
I don't have to love you not necessarily
It's just that love has taken root deep within me
Trying to forget you is sheer torture
Could this be the bitter fruit of love
