Haa..aaa..aa.haa aa haa aaa
Why am I still surviving?
Is it only in your eyes?
I am not with you,
yet why am I still surviving?
Is it only in your eyes?
I fell beside the corner of your eyes,
I survived beside your heart,
did I blend into your very soul?
I was lost, becoming one with you.
I fell beside the corner of your eyes,
I survived beside your heart,
did I blend into your very soul?
I was lost, becoming one with you.
Aren't you every path I walk upon?
Isn't the love my soul carries yours too?
Should I look past your flaws and love you?
Or should I find a way to live without you?
Why am I still surviving?
Is it only in your eyes?
Female: Why am I still surviving?
Is it only in your eyes?
Oh oh oh...
If our love is a sin,
will I keep committing it again and again?
Rather than living on earth without you, should I die today?
Even on the fragments of my heart,
my love, is it only your name?
Lasting across a thousand lifetimes,
are you that very love?
The air of your breath,
should I worship it?
Female: All the love I have,
should I put it up for rent?
I know the deep ocean of love,
Female: I will keep praying to drown in it with you.
If I am not yours,
should I die, my life?
Should I be reborn as yours?
Why am I still surviving?
Is it only in your eyes?
Why am I still surviving?
Is it only in your eyes?
Why am I still surviving?
Is it only in your eyes?
Why am I still surviving?
Is it only in your eyes, in your eyes?
Is it only there... (x4)
Haa... aaa...
All unspoken love
only ends up in the grave,
every distance you leave behind turns into fire.
Because of you, deep inside me,
there is a constant struggle with tears.
Let the unhealing memory of you kill me.
Are you the aching half at the edge of my heart?
Female: Am I no longer in your first poem?
Who is the one who truly knows a lifetime and a heart?
Female: Thinking you would know, did I stand yearning?
If I am not yours,
should I die, my life?
Should I be reborn as yours?
Be reborn? Be reborn?
Why am I still surviving?
Is it only in your eyes?
I fell beside the corner of your eyes,
I survived beside your heart,
did I blend into your very soul?
I was lost, becoming one with you.
Aren't you every path I walk upon?
Isn't the love my soul carries yours too?
Freeing you from your prison daily,
should I protect you?
Or should I find a way to live without you?
Why am I still surviving?
Is it only in your eyes?
Female: Why am I still surviving?
Is it only in your eyes, in your eyes?
Mmm mm mm mm
Mmm mm mm mm
Haa... aaa... aa.. haa aa haa aaa

Both partners reflect on how their lives derive purpose solely from each other's presence.
