Priscilla Ahn - Remember How I Broke Your Heart

 

It was a grey sky on a Monday

There was nothing more I could say so I called you from Ohio in a parking lot of a motel

I remember how you greeted me like you knew we were not meant to be on this phone call after two years of the fighting, of the mad tears

Remember how I broke your heart?

After all that we've been through, all the damages I bestowed on you,

all the jealousies you engraved in me

The end was near, it had to be

So I called you from Ohio in a parking lot of a motel to say nothing and yet everything

I remember I was trembling

Remember how I broke your heart?

Remember how I broke your heart?

 
Now I'm drinking to forget you, spending money, got a tattoo

Stayed a weekend up in Oregon, bought a plane ride to an island

But I stopped first in Toronto, met a man who almost let me go

Four years later he married me

I am happier than I dreamed I'd be

So you see I had to let you go in a phone call from Ohio filled with silence and apologies

Still I loved you as you loved me

Remember how I broke your heart?

"Hati ini sedang sekarat, Mbak."
