Another affair I have could not procure
With you gone, myself in gloom
With you gone, secrets entombed
I told myself, that this would happen
I told myself, that this would hurt
I knew you would never have cared
I knew your love was ever so rare
Drenched in the rain, I feel the cold wind
Drenched in the tears, I feel the cold within
Forever remained, this shivering sensation
Forever remained, this bitter emotion
I shall get by, like I always do
I shall get by, just like you too
Except you remain oblivious, like you always do
Except I remain penitent, like I always do
It's been some years, I have let myself down
It's been many years, I have let my heart drown
Only to emerge, to yet another defeat
Only to emerge, to once again retreat
