Dün yanlızlığı
Baş ucumda ilk defa ağırladım, ağladım
Dün sensizlikten
Nefret ettim, çocuk gibi kendimi azarladım

Bugün karar verdim unutmaya
Artık sensiz yaşlanmaya
Alıp gitsin seni götürsün hasretin

Gelip geçsin gözlerimden film gibi

Söylendim yağmura düşerken gözyaşım
Geçen şu yıllara hesap sorar yarınlarım
Saklandım kendimden, kaçtım uzaklara
Yalvardım Tanrı'ya, n'olur onu unuttur bana

Dün ellerini
Avucumda ilk defa yadırgadım, ağladım
Dün anılardan
İzin aldım, yolcu gibi veda edip uğurladım

Bugün karar verdim unutmaya
Artık sensiz yaşlanmaya
Alıp gitsin seni götürsün hasretin
Gelip geçsin gözlerimden film gibi

Söylendim yağmura düşerken gözyaşım
Geçen şu yıllara hesap sorar yarınlarım
Saklandım kendimden, kaçtım uzaklara
Yalvardım Tanrı'ya, n'olur onu unuttur bana

Söylendim yağmura düşerken gözyaşım
Geçen şu yıllara hesap sorar yarınlarım

Saklandım kendimden, kaçtım uzaklara
Yalvardım Tanrı'ya, n'olur onu unuttur bana
