I Didn't Find (I Didn't Meet)
I didn't find a place to walk and contemplate
I didn't find a friend who knows not to return to me
I didn't find a place to settle, settle far away, far away
I didn't find words to say we'll get over it, I'm confused
I didn't find a thing to explain, explain what's happening
I didn't find a melody to break, break the heart of a human
I didn't find forgetfulness, I didn't find my family
I didn't find peace, I didn't find joy
I didn't find my way, I didn't find my luck
I didn't find forgetfulness, I didn't find my family
I didn't find peace, I didn't find joy
I didn't find my way, I didn't find my luck
I didn't find a fire to burn my feelings
I didn't find a life until my heart is filled with sadness
A sadness that never meets a drop to extinguish it
I didn't find a place to walk and contemplate
I didn't find a friend who knows not to return to me
I didn't find a place to settle, settle far away, far away
I didn't find forgetfulness, I didn't find my family
I didn't find peace, I didn't find joy
I didn't find my way, I didn't find my luck
I didn't find forgetfulness, I didn't find my family
I didn't find peace, I didn't find joy
I didn't find my way, I didn't find my luck
