Love is one thing
But heartbreak is another.

Seeing a man I loved in pictures
When he was younger
Before he knew me

The knowledge
Increases the beauty

The day we meet
We both will be
Lonely, won’t we? 
Has generosity
Reached a hand to me? 

Oh, everything's so
Meant to be but temporary. 

Oh, why would that be? 
Oh, why would that be? 

When it is night
And I turn on the light
I decide to look in the mirror

My body is mine
But there’s something else inside. 
See, all of my life
I have brought someone else inside

The day we meet
We both will be
Lonely, won’t we? 

Has generosity
Reached a hand to me? 

Is everything just meant to be but temporary? 

Oh, why would that be?
Oh, why would that be?
Oh, why would that be?

Oh, why would that be?
Oh, why would that be?
Oh, why would that be?

Oh, why would that be?
Oh, why would that be?
Oh, why would that be?

Oh, why would that be?
Oh, why would that be?
Oh, why would that be?

I keep that night
So deep in
Subconscious mind
