you were the best among so many loves,
i could've told you 'bout my past.
your flower bloomed beside my window pane.
you were the best.
you were the best.
please be happy.
you were there for me so many times,
i wish that i could pay you back.
as flowers need their water, i need care.
you were there.
you were there.
hope you're smiling.
you were right about so many things,
i can't admit it to your face.
your flower wilted in my stuffy room.
you were right.
you were right.
i am not afraid to live without you.
