If you say you are leaving and walk away,
Where will I go?
I need you every single day
To live my life.
If you leave without telling me,
How can I not break down in tears?
Wondering when you will return,
I will keep waiting.
Wherever you go leaving me behind,
Without wandering anywhere away from you,
Wondering when you will come, when you will come,
I keep waiting...
Do not tease me with your eyes,
What will become of this poor heart?
Do not kill me with your silence,
What will become of this poor heart?
Do not tease me with your eyes,
What will become of this poor heart?
Do not kill me with your silence,
What will become of this poor heart?
If you leave without telling me,
How can I not break down in tears?
Wondering when you will return,
I will keep waiting.
Wherever you go leaving me behind,
Without wandering anywhere away from you,
Wondering when you will return, when you will return,
I keep waiting...
Aa... aa... aa... aa...
Aa... aa...
Aa... aa... aa... aa...
Aa... aa...
You walked into my eyes,
Female: You entered,
Male: And brought me tears,
Female: You gave,
Male: You stepped into my heart,
Tore me apart, consumed me, and walked away.
While I looked upon you as my very life,
When you left, I was burned to ashes.
Looking at the love that carries your scent,
My heart aches and beats every single day.
If you leave without telling me,
How can I not break down in tears?
Wondering when you will return,
I will keep waiting.
Wherever you go leaving me behind,
Without wandering anywhere away from you,
Wondering when you will return, when you will return,
I keep waiting...
Do not tease me with your eyes,
Male: What will become of this poor heart?
Chorus: Do not kill me with your silence,
Male: What will become of this poor heart?
If you say you are leaving and walk away...
Do not tease me with your eyes,
