Perpisahan itu menyakitkan
Jauh darimu itu penyiksaan
Aku mencoba tuk melawannya
Tapi rasaku tak mungkin berdusta

Bukan aku tak berharga diri
Tapi izinkanku mohon kau tetaplah di sini
Jangan pergi lagi

Jangan pergi lagi

Apa yang kau inginkan dariku
Apa yang kau mau ku berubah
Jika itu terbaik sampai mati akan ku beri

Ku sudah menyiakan dirimu
Ku sudah menodai tulusmu
Demi cinta ku inginkan kesempatan yang kedua

Bukan aku tak berharga diri
Tapi izinkanku mohon kau tetaplah di sini
Jangan pergi lagi
Dan jangan pergi lagi (jangan pergi lagi)

Apa yang kau inginkan dariku
Apa yang kau mau ku berubah
Jika itu terbaik sampai mati akan ku beri

Ku sudah menyiakan dirimu
Ku sudah menodai tulusmu
Demi cinta ku inginkan kesempatan yang kedua
Demi cinta ku inginkan kesempatan yang kedua

Bukan aku tak berharga diri
