📝 Erased by Time
Inspired by Koo Chang-mo’s “희나리”

Lyrics:

I gave you all my heart, so gently with care
But to you, it felt like I locked every door

It wasn't mistrust, I just held on too tight
But somehow that became our last goodbye

You looked at me like I had something wrong inside
As if I changed into someone you couldn’t recognize

You pulled away and started shutting me down
Like I was someone dark, just dragging you down

If I made a mistake, I loved you too much
I only gave my soul, my voice, and my touch

Now I can’t come near you, like I crossed some line
I’m just a stranger now, erased by time

I’m still waiting, with a hope that never fades
Like flowers that still reach for the sky

You looked at me like I had something wrong inside
As if I changed into someone you couldn’t recognize

You pulled away and started shutting me down
Like I was someone dark, just dragging you down

If I made a mistake, I loved you too much
I only gave my soul, my voice, and my touch

Now I can’t come near you, like I crossed some line
I’m just a stranger now, erased by time

I’m still waiting, with a hope that never fades
Like flowers that still reach for the sky
Like flowers that still reach for the sky
