I never knew perfection ’til
I heard you speak, and now it kills me
Just to hear you say the simple things
Now waking up is hard to do
And sleeping is impossible too
Everything’s reminding me of you
What can I do?

It’s not right, not OK
Say the words that you say
Maybe we’re better off this way
I’m not fine, I’m in pain
It’s harder everyday
Maybe we’re better off this way
It’s better that we break…

A fool to let you slip away
I chase you just to hear you say
You’re scared and that you think that I’m insane

The city looks so nice from here
Pity I can’t see it clearly
While you’re standing there, it disappears
It disappears

It’s not right, not OK
Say the word it should say
Maybe we’re better off this way
I’m not fine, I’m in pain
It’s harder everyday
Maybe we’re better off this way
It’s better that we break

Saw you sitting all alone
You’re fragile and you’re cold, but that’s all right
Life these days is getting rough
They’ve knocked you down and beat you up
But it’s just a rollercoaster anyway, yeah


(Better That We Break – Maroon 5)

Namaku Alrisha, 42 tahun, menikah, jatuh cinta pada puisi, buku, gunung, hujan, dan Bre. Sedang patah hati karena ia memintaku pergi, dan aku terlalu sombong untuk kembali. Bre bukan korban. Aku bukan pelaku kejahatan. Aku hanya perempuan yang jatuh cinta, tak kuasa lari mengingkari perasaan.
