Yalancısın dediler bakamadım hiç yüzüne
Ne yiyorum ne içiyorum kan oturmuş gözlerime
Yazık ediyor sevmeyenler
İnandığın seni terk ediyor
Ateşler içinde kaldım yanıyorum
Rahat uyuyamıyorum
Sana hiç kızamıyorum
Ateşler içinde kaldım yanıyorum
Bilsinler duramıyorum
Bizi ayıranlar aşk nedir ne anlar
Ben başa çıkamıyorum
"Ayrıldık" diyorsun bir kulak ver sözlerime
Yalancısın dediler bakamadım hiç yüzüne
Ne yiyorum ne içiyorum kan oturmuş gözlerime
Yazık ediyor sevmeyenler
İnandığın seni terk ediyor
Ateşler içinde kaldım yanıyorum
Rahat uyuyamıyorum
Beni bu hâle düşürsen bile sen
Sana hiç kızamıyorum
Ateşler içinde kaldım yanıyorum
Bilsinler duramıyorum
Bizi ayıranlar aşk nedir ne anlar
Ben başa çıkamıyorum
Yarı aldandım yarı affettim
Kendime küstüm değerim yokmuş
Bana bu çokmuş kaderim buymuş
Ateşler içinde kaldım yanıyorum
Rahat uyuyamıyorum
Beni bu hâle düşürsen bile sen
Sana hiç kızamıyorum
Ateşler içinde kaldım yanıyorum
Bilsinler duramıyorum
Bizi ayıranlar aşk nedir ne anlar
Ben başa çıkamıyorum
