Kau memang sanggup membutakan aku
Hingga mudahnya aku terjatuh
Melupakan sesungguhnya arti ketulusan
Pudarkan logika sehatku

Seketika ku sadari semua permainan ini
Hanya kan banyak melukai perasaan
Aku dan kamu tak mampu lagi tuk mengelak

Kisah cinta ini harus segera kita akhiri

Maafkan maafkan aku sungguh ku tak punya daya untuk mendua
Tuk khianati cinta miliknya
Pergilah pergilah bawa saja semua kesemuan yang kau tawarkan
Maafkan aku aku terlalu mencintainya

Seketika ku sadari permainan ini
Hanya kan banyak melukai perasaan
Aku dan kamu tak mampu lagi tuk mengelak
Kisah cinta ini harus segera kita akhiri

Maafkan maafkan aku sungguh ku tak punya daya untuk mendua

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Kerispatih's song "Maaf Aku Terlalu Mencintainya" (Sorry, I Love Him Too Much) describe a troubled relationship in which the singer has fallen deeply in love with someone who is already committed to another. The first verse acknowledges how the object of the singer's affection has the power to blind him, to make him forget the true meaning of sincerity and logic. The second verse reveals that the singer has realized that this relationship is hurtful and must be ended, as it is hurting them both. However, the singer acknowledges that they are too in love to betray their own feelings or to hurt the other person by trying to win them over.

The chorus is a plea for forgiveness as the singer apologizes for being unable to resist their feelings and for not being able to betray his love's trust, instead urging him to leave and take everything he has offered with him. The repeated refrain "Aku terlalu mencintainya" (I love him too much) emphasizes the singer's overwhelming emotions and his lack of agency in trying to control them.

Overall, the song is a poignant expression of the complexities of love, especially when it involves unrequited feelings or competing affections. The lyrics convey the desperation and heartbreak of loving someone who is unavailable or already taken, while also acknowledging the pain that this can cause them both.
