Like I felt it from the start,

The moment I laid my eyes on you.
The cold gaze and arrogant behavior,
Here comes another heartbreak of mine.

Why do we need to know before we meet?
Our firm hands holding through the nights.
Languages stretched the fragile ties between us,
Tell me what’s inside you, more than lust?

Then come late night phone calls, conversations,
I want to blend into your sweet voice.
Though I know you just want to be looked at,
I’m drunk on your eyes, your cold gaze.

First time in life, I wasn’t alone,
When my heart broke, you walked to me.
Held me tightly, felt warmth I craved,
Let me be drunk on your masculinity.

If this’s a dream, I don’t want to wake,
I could die in your arms, right now.
I’m your whole, I’m your slave,
I’ll remember this feeling all my days.

You’re the only thing I want to touch,
When your finger runs through my hair.
Lipstick marks all over your neck,
You don’t know how much that moment meant.

Sharing cigarettes, our souls intertwined,
Can you look at me, save this moment?
Our wholeness, our pain beneath the jokes,
Tell me the hardest truth you hold.

First kiss beneath the streetlights’ glow,
You hid your thirst behind those eyes.
I left you with that thirst, alone,
But our laughter echoed through the nights.

2am, your call, how you missed me,
In my dark room, sleepy voice too.
I felt alive, I felt recognized,
I have nothing but honesty left.

Oh, how could I forget,
The way you leaned on my shoulder?
You got tipsy, told me I was hot,
I knew you were trying to seduce me.

Here comes the night we spent together,
You didn’t know how nervous I was.
Not from pain, but from fear,
That you’d vanish after this night.

My tears shed, I was in pain,
My blood stained the bedsheets so red.
You tried so hard to quench your thirst,
Didn’t care about the pain inside me.

We spoke love in every language we knew,
I love you, 愛してる, 我爱你, anh yêu em.
Though I knew they were all your lies,
I wanted to hear them, feel alive.

I couldn’t sleep, just watching you,
Your puppy face and sleepy voice.
Telling me not to go, I stayed,
Weak, skipping time to be with you.

The sun lit up, but we couldn’t wake,
You held me, kissed me, couldn’t let go.
Fingers lingered on my waist, lips on me,
I tried to stay, knowing it was our last night.

Left you alone with lipstick marks,
I saw the child in you that night.
I said goodbye, to you, to this place,
I won’t regret a single thing, not tonight.
