LYRICS:
Saturday sunset, we’re lying on my bed with five hours to go
Fingers entwined and so were our minds cryin, ‘I don’t want you to go’
You wiped away tears but not fears under the still and clear indigo
You said, ‘Baby don’t cry, we’ll be fine, you’re the one thing I swear I can’t outgrow’
My mother said the younger me was a ‘Pretending’ prodigy,
well nothing, then, much has changed
Coz while you’re wolfing down liquor, my soul it gets sicker,
but I’m stickin’ to the screenplay, gotta say I’m okay,
but answer this babe:
How is it now that somehow you’re a stranger? You were mine just yesterday
I prayed the block in my airway dissipates and instead deters your airplane’s way
But heaven denied
Destiny decried
Something beautiful died
too soon
But I’m letting go
I’m givin’ up the ghost
But don’t get me wrong,
I’ll always love you, that’s why
I wrote you this very last song
I guess this is where we say goodbye
I know I’ll be alright
Someday I’ll be fine
but just not tonight
Plunging into all kinds of diversions like blush wine and sonorous soirées
But even with gin and surgin’ adrenaline, I see you’re all that can intoxicate
Oceans and engines, you’re skilled at infringin’ on great love affairs
‘cause now my heart’s home, all I’ve known, is long gone and 10 thousand miles away
Plunging into all kinds of diversions like blush wine and sonorous soirées
But even with gin and surgin’ adrenaline, I see you’re all that can intoxicate
Oceans and engines, you’re skilled at infringin’ on great love affairs
‘cause now my heart’s home, all I’ve known, is long gone and 10 thousand miles away
And I’m not okay
But I’m letting go
I’m givin’ up the ghost
But don’t get me wrong
I’ll always love you and that’s why
I wrote you this very last song
I guess this is where we say goodbye
I know I’ll be alright
But just not-
Tonight was the first time I stared into seas of beguiling sepia two years ago
And the first time I learned real world superpowers lived in three words and could revitalize my fraying bones
What do you do when your pillar crumbled down, you’ve lost all solid ground, both dreams and demons drowned, and this void’s all you’ve found and doubts light it aglow?
I have so many questions
But I’m pouring them into the ocean and I’m starting up my engine
and I’m letting go
I’m givin’ up your ghost
It’s come to a close
I marked the end with this last song I wrote
I’m letting go
This is the last falsetto
I’ll ever sing to you my great, lost love

  6. moonbin-ah, like the lyrics of this song, now I'm letting u go, be the brightest star in the sky so i can see u in a long time, be happy in there cuz no one can hurt u now my love, I'll still love u from here!🤍

  7. It was last year when we lost that kind of "connection" we had before. I almost thought that we'd end up together. I indulged myself in this fantasy that he will be the one to save me from all these emotional turmoil and trauma I have locked myself into. I didn't care if I seem too emotionally needy. When he is around, I am happy and that was all that mattered. We used to spend late nights kissing and cuddling and I thought that was already enough sign that he actually liked me – that it will lead to something beautiful. But it was just a fantasy I created inside my head, and I have put him in this kind of pedestal that he can't even fathom. It broke my heart when he was starting to slowly slip away until he's out of reach. I mourned the supposed loss I had. One day, I woke up realizing all the sh*t I placed upon him. I realized how much I have depended emotionally on him expecting that he will continue being there for me. I realized how selfish it was. I realized what people meant by "You have to love yourself first before you love another person" – you have to be self-sufficient first so that you won't have to look for validation on other people. This song has helped me with those realizations. I started letting go of regrets – regret of not being my best self when he was around and regret that I did things that eventually made him walk away. I forgave myself, started picking each bit of my crumbled self (bits that I thought he should be picking up), and slowly put them back together again. The experience has been transformative to me on an emotional level and if anyone were to ask me if I would change anything that had happened, I would tell them that I would retain every single detail of my encounter with him. The experience changed me for the better and I think I can embark on truly healthier and happier relationships.

  8. met the love of my life last 2018 but now i can't even remember them because we made it that way. we broke up because the grief of her losing her father was hurting me and she couldn't forgive herself for that when i kept saying i'll wait for her when i've already forgiven her. it's been 5 years my star, but i have to let you go. i know you'll never see this but you will always be my greatest love.

  10. we haven’t start anything, we never in a fight, but he’s crying on my shoulder cause he didn’t want the sun goes up where it’s also the time we have to go back to be stranger again. everywhere he goes, how many places he’ve been, he’s always come back to me.

    we love each other, we dont wanna let go of each other. but we’re not meant to be together.

  12. When you know this song because someone told you before, and the same person has gone too. Ah, you will live rent-free in my memory for as long as the song has existed, Fi.

  13. i almost through this hard time, we both promised to stay together no matter what happened. It was funny when we pretend to forget the most thing that can separate us.
    (we are in different faith)
    i love him and so does he. And now, we still decided to keep pretending and hope to find a happy ending for us.

  14. My thoughts are divided right now, Part of me wants to leave and let go, but my heart screams no, You know damn well how much I love and cared for you, I've treated you as my queen, but in a span of minutes after our misunderstanding, despite of it being small and pretty much easy to resolve, you didn't even hesitate to sever everything, you let yourself being consumed by your anger, you didn't even weigh in the good memories and the happy moments that we've shared, you didn't even reconsider your decisions, some people say that you're a winner when a man loves you more than anything else, yet you never appreciate my love, Despite everything I'm still trying to cling myself to anything that is left, still hoping that you'd have a change of heart, but the clock is ticking and the painful reality is slowly creeping in, I love you, I really do, I'll try to hold on for a bit, but if the pain becomes unbearable I'm afraid I have to let go, you're my great lost love and despite the pain that you've inflicted, I'll always treasure every single happy moments with you.

  15. I heard this song for the first time today and I don't know how something so sad can be so beautiful at the same time 🥺

  16. I met a boy and felt like we’re really made for each other. i never imagine how my days if he wasn’t here with me. he is not special, he’s not soft spoken man, he’s not patience, he’s not rich, he’s not as handsome as my favorite actor, he’s not really smart, but he just something that i always looking for.

    i feel like i’ve been starving for days when he’s not near, i feel like i’ve been through much sleepless nights without him. it took me months to realize how much he meant for me and yet i still saying such a rude word to him, i always yell at him whenever he trynna be a soft boy because i do really afraid of falling love.

    he skipped his favorite show just to talk with me even tho i always yell at him, he skipped his favorite soccer tournament just to hangout with me.
    he always spent his time with me like he have no one but me and still i denial with my feelings while i keep him by my side like he is mine.

    after months, he showing his affection more over me and i do really afraid of the idea that i will lose him so i pushed him away by saying he don’t deserve me and of course it works, he left me and run to my bestfriend who is more like my sister. bestfriend that i will sacrifice everything i have for her.

    i’m mad, i feel like i’m going crazy right now, my bestfriend is choosing him over than me, she choose him even tho she knows that i still can’t get over him but i more hate myself because i still can’t hate both of them.

    they betrayed me for month, i still do tell her how much he meant for me while they talk each other, i tell her how i love him while they hangout together, i tell her while they do everything behind me and makes me a fool.

    “i have so many questions but i’m pouring them into the ocean and starting up my engines”

    that line hit me the most, thank you niki for making this masterpiece i will always love this song for company me through my most heartbreaking era

  22. Just because im not ready yet doesnt mean i dont wanna spend my whole life with you. Why dont u just give me more time and take more patience instead of asking other girl to marry with you? I know deep down inside you still mine, but things are gettin harder than i ever feel. I dont remember how to live without you after been in this 9 years spending moment with you, A

  23. i just feel like i can relate this song because rn im on this situation. about i need to let my ex lover so yeah…

  25. Bahasa inggris Niki emang sebagus itu , klo denger suara dia sambil liat lirik auto senyum2 sendiri karena kebayang dia dari Indonesia

  29. "Maybe our life Will no more together, but our story must go on so till we meet again after we've find the happiness"
    -RR

  35. Harusnya tidak perlu ku kirimkan pesan hari ini, sekedar ingin tahu bagaimana perasaan mu. Lihatlah betapa notifikasi darimu membuatku berdebar tidak karuan, tapi semakin kacau setelah membacanya.

  37. Why does this hurts me even though I'm not broken..
    🥺 I'd say Nikki is at different level when it comes to being a lyricist as T.S.
    I love them both for that ❤
    It just hits you..
    Guess I'll be playing this nonstop and keep coming back.

  38. its been 2 years since i lost the old of you.. and till now im still love you no matter what.. but im just missing the old of you.. 😢💔

  40. lagu nya rilis pas banget bulan juli ketemu dia dulu nyanyi nya engga sedih, setahun setelah nya nyanyi ini ngeliat dia sama cewek nya :((( sekarang pisah sekolah.

    "my great, lost love."

  41. this song taught me that some wounds are not gonna heal, even if you try to cover it up with something beautiful, the damage is still there. so to the guy who broke me so bad i hope you are happy with your new one. but i have to move one now.
