It's not easy,

but I can't run away.

It's difficult,

but I believe it's not a fault.

I turn my back, get ready to go.

But, deep inside, I know

I'll never leave you.

I'll never leave you.

I try to turn around,

but my feet are glued on the ground.

I say I would give up,

but I know that I could not.

You're worth the fight.

Letting go is just not right.

Maybe, the sky is not that bright.

But there is still a light.

Incessant are the promises I broke,

'cause every moment I look,

each time I see you move,

I get reminded of your worth.

I always decide to go.

And, it's true, I always do.

But the bridges and roads take me back to you.

Somehow, they know that you're my sweetest woe.

You don't see your winsome face.

You don't see how great your soul is.

But, I discern every color in you.

Somehow, this heart has nil to rue.

Far from you I swear I'd roam,

but you don't deserve to wander alone.

I can't see you walking on your own.

I can't see you walking on your own.

But tell me if solitude is what you need.

Speak when with me you don’t want to proceed.

If through your acts you write but I fail to read,

Talk to me and I would heed.

Whatever befalls, I deeply know,

I’ll only depart when you tell me to go.

For I never dream to hold you 'till you die.

Higher than the highest, I want to see you fly.
