Enough

I don’t believe in words disguised as promises 

Garlanded on your forked tongue

So false, so insulting, so meaningless

When your actions proved otherwise

You looked me in the eye, and spouted lies

But I am noone’s fool - your blasphemy stung

Take back your poisoned words

You’ve told me your last lie - how careless! 

Lantas maaf jika aku tidak percaya

Dengan bait2 puitisnya kata-kata

Memetik buatku bintang dan bulan purnama

Cukuplah diri ini terlalu naif sekian lama

Remuknya hati berendam airmata

Sedang janji manis berguguran laksana sakura

Disebabkan lembutnya lidah berbisik cinta

Walhal aksimu penuh sandiwara.

Forgive me for being cynical 

But I’ve seen a lot and learned so much

I can see through the illusion

Of half-truths and lies and such

Wrapped in smiles so sweet, stories fantastical

Stabbing my heart with your deception.

Enough now. 

Cukup.
