Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Saat ku tak mampu bertahan lagi
Yang ku mau hanya tak menyakitimu
Biar saja kutanggung sendiri
Cinta itu tak hanya mencari
Kesenangan diri

Saat ku harus katakan perpisahan
Yang kau mau hanya ku tetap bersamamu

Aku sangat mengerti sayangku
Tapi maafkan ini semua
Harus berakhir

Aku masih cinta
Itu sebabnya ku pergi
Ku masih sayang
Itu sebabnya ku minta kau berpikir

Cinta bukan buta
Tapi cinta memahami
Semoga hidup ini
Lebih berwarna bagi kita
Meski harus terpisah
Jauh
Jauh
Terpisah jauh

Aku masih cinta
Itu sebabnya ku pergi (akubmasih cinta)
Aku masih sayang
Itu sebabnya ku minta kau berpikir

Aku masih cinta
Itu sebabnya ku pergi (aku masih sayang)
Aku masih sayang
Itu sebabnya ku minta kau berpikir

Aku masih cinta
Aku masih sayang

Biar saja kutanggung sendiri

Cinta itu tak hanya mencari
Kesenangan diri
