Butuh Waktu
Radja Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Kadang aku merasa kau jauh
Saat engkau memuja dirinya
Jujur kuakui aku cemburu
Namun tak perlu untuk bicara

Mestinya kau tak usah
Ucapkan janji janji
Bila ternyata selalu kau ingkari
Tak usah bilang cinta
Bila selalu berdusta
Mungkinkah hatiku bisa terima

Butuh waktu untuk mencintaimu
Seperti engkau mencintai diriku
Jangan sampai engkau salah mengerti
Yang kuingin bisa saling memahami

Kadang aku merasa kau jauh
Saat engkau memuja dirinya
Jujur kuakui aku cemburu
Namun tak perlu untuk bicara
Mestinya kau tak usah
Ucapkan janji janji
Bila ternyata selalu kau ingkari

Butuh waktu untuk mencintaimu
Seperti engkau mencintai diriku
Jangan sampai engkau salah mengerti
Yang kuingin bisa saling memahami

Butuh waktu untuk mencintaimu
Seperti engkau mencintai diriku
Jangan sampai engkau salah mengerti
Yang kuingin bisa saling memahami
Butuh waktu untuk mencintaimu
Seperti engkau mencintai diriku
Jangan sampai engkau salah mengerti
Yang kuingin bisa saling memahami
