Ku Berjauh Hati
Datuk Sharifah Aini Lyrics

In Datuk Sharifah Aini's song "Ku Berjauh Hati", the lyrics explore the emotions and thoughts of someone who is considering leaving a relationship. The opening lyrics express that if the person had to make the decision to leave, they hope that their partner would understand the reasons why. The singer feels that their presence in the relationship is not being appreciated, and is not being reciprocated with equal attention and affection by their partner.

The chorus repeats this idea, emphasizing that there has been a lack of attention, compliments and love from their partner: "Tak pernah kau berikan/Walau sedikit perhatian/ Tak pernah adanya sanjungan/Apalagi ucapan sayang" ("You never give/Even a little attention/There's never any compliments/And definitely no words of love"). Despite this, every time the singer expresses a desire to leave the relationship, their partner tries to persuade them to stay. The singer has been hurt for too long and has been estranged from their partner for a while, leading them to believe that it's time to let go and move on.

The lyrics bring forth the idea of how hard it is to maintain a relationship when one person feels neglected and when they feel like they are no longer valued by their partner. It also portrays a sense of how difficult the decision to leave can be even after being hurt multiple times. The lyrics are an honest depiction of the emotions felt by someone who is struggling to keep a relationship from falling apart.
