hey, you! the one who taught me how to fly!
why haven't you taught me how to swim?
now i'm drowning alone in my tears.

far away from you.

because you have been swimming
on another pool with someone for
a long time already.

and that 'someone' isn't me.



hey, you! the one who made me touch the sky!
you're the one who made me drowning now.

drowning in your sweat —
the sweat you've been producing
in our alone nights.

the nights that aren't ours now.



hey, you! the one who taught me how to love!
why can't you teach me how to stop it?

now i'm drowning alone
alone in my blood.
