Sama
The Alastair Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

sama, semua masih sama
yang kudengar dan kulihat
adakah jalan yang bisa kita cari
lepas beban semua ini
adakah gerangan
yang bisa buat tak bahagia
ya meski harus aku merelakan diri
buat apa kucari dirimu

masih adakah
rasa itu selalu membayangiku
ada atau tiadakah dirimu
sampai kapan harus ku mencari
buat apa kucari dirimu
bila ternyata rasa itu tak lagi
disampingmu
ada atau tiadakah dirimu
hampa
kejam
rasa itu tak kunjung datang
begitulah dunia ini mengungkap

tak tertahankan
kejam
