Who Told You

by

Him: Tell me, how is your life after me?

I know you’re not alive without me

You dream of us making up

As everything used to be

Forget it, no emotion to you anymore

Her: If you’re asking me, I’m saying “just zip it”!

It’s you who’s not alive without me

If you were the last guy in this world,

I’d never get back to you

Accept it and stop being full of yourself

Who told you I’d be agonized if you stopped talking to me

Who told you I’d suffer if you didn’t miss me

Who told you my life would be over after you left me?

Him: Who told you I wasn’t comfortable after leaving you

Who told you I was down with my wounds unhealed

Your love was like a jail and I found my freedom after leaving you,

Comfortable, yes, I feel comfortable without you

Her: Sometimes you come into my mind

And I imagine you in my thoughts

But I will never come back to you

No matter how tender my heart tries to be

It turned into a stone thanks to you

Him: you’re still as you were

I left but you didn’t change

You’re hiding what’s inside you

But I know you still love me

Her: It was you who gave up and left although I never gave up

How much I missed you and kept waiting for you to be back

You abandoned me and it was you,

You who didn’t keep the promise

This is was a humble attempt to translate this song from Arabic.

I'm not trying to make it sound poetic or musical. I just want you to feel it how I felt it.
