Words I say with sadness
They always haunt me
Words I scream when I'm angry
Surely there's no way to forget them

When I speak words, they smell like lies
When they take shape, everything becomes confusing
I can't do anything the way I want
I am incapable

I love you, Vivi, and when tomorrow comes
I will have to say goodbye to you
This sleeping city, about to turn to ashes
I will leave it behind, and you will stay too

To write the letter I made for you
I thought of many things
And yet, as beautiful as you are
I couldn't write a single word

But why is it this way when it comes to words?
Why do they seem like lies?
Why do they become wingless birds?
Why do they need to be dirty?

I love you, Vivi, and when tomorrow comes
Who we are today will be left behind
But forget that I said anything like that
There's nothing I want to say

Melting into an amber color
A balloon falls and a caribou flies
A bronze statue without legs
And a dancing cuckoo

The noisy and tiring news says
Children are disappearing from the city
I will sing a song that sounds like crying
While a fish watches me silently

Even with my heart needing help
I walked alongside you

I love you, Vivi, and when tomorrow comes
I will have to say goodbye to you
This sleeping city, about to turn to ashes
I will leave it behind, and you will stay too

I speak words, I feel your touch
And yet, I couldn't say anything
I love you, Vivi, I love you, Vivi
But all our love is, is a goodbye
