“Mati-Matian” Lyrics
VERSE 1
Kita adalah dua insan penuh cinta
Di awal tercipta kisah kita
Manis tuturmu buatku terpana
Bagiku kau sempurna
Memang benar semua kata mereka
Benarku tlah dibutakan cinta
Tak hanya sekali kau khianati
Sudah, cukup ku tak tahan lagi
CHORUS
Mati-matian ku membelamu di depan mereka
Walau sakit tetap kupercaya kau beda dari lainnya
Habis-habisan ku dibohongi sayang ini tetap sama
Tuhan, ini cinta atau bodoh?
BRIDGE
Habis pikir dengan sifatmu itu
Berulangkali ku maafkan
Berulang lagi kau lakukan
Satu satunya kebanggaanku
Kini jadi rasa sakit terdalam
CHORUS to CODA
Mati-matian ku membelamu di depan mereka
Mati-matian ku membelamu di depan mereka
Walau sakit tetap kupercaya kau beda dari lainnya
Habis-habisan ku dibohongi sayang ini tetap sama
Tuhan, ini cinta atau bodoh?
(Mati-matianku membelamu di depan mereka)
Walau sakit tetap kupercaya kau beda dari lainnya
Habis-habisan ku dibohongi sayang ini tetap sama
Tuhan, ini cinta atau bodoh? Tuhan, ini cinta atau bodoh?
