A True Story
OH FYO! Lyrics

I remember we have always been together
From childhood until now, we have always had a close relationship.

When we were children we played in the woods
As children, we spent time playing outside in nature.

At the highest place, right beneath the oak tree
We made a promise to each other in a significant location.

There we promised to stay friends for all time
We made a long-lasting commitment to be friends forever.

We grew up and you became a pretty woman
As we got older, you transformed into a beautiful young lady.

So all the young men started flocking around you
You became popular among the boys because of your beauty.

Winter came and you decided to start out
During the winter, you left in search of a genuine romantic connection.

To find the one whose love was coming from the heart
You sought after someone who truly loved you.

Is that what you want
Are you sure this is what you desire?

Is that what you need
Do you really need this in your life?

Then I can't hold you up
If this is your decision, I cannot stop you.

One day I will be the one by your hand
At some point, I hope to be the one holding your hand.

One day we will be united
Eventually, we will be together once again.

For you, my dear, I'll be waiting at the town gate
I will be waiting for you, no matter how long it takes.

Every day I watched your footprints in the snow
I paid close attention to your path and movements, even in the snow.

Spring was coming and made them melt away
When the seasons changed, the snow melted and with it, any trace of you.

Every night I lit a candle at the window
I hoped that you would see the light and know that I was thinking of you.

In case you come back while I sleep but I was fooling myself
I had false hope that you would return while I slept, but deep down I knew it was unlikely.

I sent my things flying
I acted impulsively and threw things in frustration.

I bit my fingernails
I was nervous and anxious, resulting in me biting my nails.

I cursed a thousand candles 'cause they never
I was annoyed with the candles I had lit because they never brought you back.

I tore my hair, I cried, I shouted out your name
I expressed my anguish in multiple ways, including pulling my hair, crying, and calling out to you.

Then I collapsed and tried to live with your absence
I eventually fell apart, but tried to come to terms with your absence.

That's what you want
This is the choice you have made.

That's what you need
This is what you believe you require in your life.

But it's hard to accept
Although I understand, it's difficult for me to come to terms with.

Years flew by now and I'm feeling like an old man
Many years have passed, and I feel much older than I am.

Wishing that you come back with every shooting star
Still, I hold onto hope that you will return every time I see a shooting star.

By now I'm wiser and I know I should have told you
Over time, I have gained knowledge and realize that I should have expressed my feelings to you.

That I'm the one whose love was coming from the heart
I want you to know that my love for you was true and genuine.

Here at the gate
I wait for you at the town gate.

I'll stand and wait
I remain steadfast in my commitment to waiting for you.

For the rest of my days
I will continue to wait for you for the rest of my life.
