You Had Given Your Word - Candan Erçetin

You had given your word to me

To stay here always by my me

We swore all this this didn't we?

That whatever happened, we would be together

Look how many years have now passed

Your last glance is my die-cast

What good is it for me to hold fast?

If only you had and we had faded

I don't know what excuse would give me comfort

Which crime is it that I did commit?

It does not convince me day nor night

Revenge like this is impossible

Is it too much this reproach you gave?

Is not this punishment too grave?

Tell me who you were seeing on time's wave

One cannot stay alone like this

She does not share the sadness

There is no way I can share this

There is no word to describe this

I will feel it more and more as the worries come

Another time in another street

There is no way we will meet

There is no way we will be complete

This will be seen more and more as the days go by
