Original Song version lyrics

Female: Don’t mention the past again

Life has been full of storms

Even if the memory cannot be erased

Love and hate are both Still in my heart

I really want to let go of the past

Let tomorrow continue well

You should stop asking me for news

Male: Love is a difficult problem

It’s dizzying

Maybe it’s possible to forget the pain

It’s not easy to forget you

You never really left

You are always in my heart

I still love you

I can do nothing about myself

Because I still have dreams

I still keep you in my heart

It is always easy to be moved by the past

My heart aches for you

Female: Don’t linger on my unintentional tenderness over the years

Don’t ask me if we’ll meet again

Don’t care if I don’t mean what I say

Female: Why You don’t understand (Male: Don’t say I don’t understand)

Female: As long as there is love, there is pain (Male: As long as there is love, there is pain)

Female: One day you will know

Female: Life will not be different without me (Male: It will be different without you)

Female: Life has been too hasty

Female: I am so scared. It’s the tears in your eyes (Male: Your eyes are in tears)

Female: If you forget me, there will be no pain (Male: There is no use in forgetting you)

Female: Leave the past in the wind

Female: Don’t mention the past again

Life has been full of storms

Even if the memory cannot be erased

Love and hate are still in my heart

I really want to end the past

Let tomorrow continue well

You should stop asking me for news

Female: Why don’t you understand (Male: Don’t say I don’t understand)

Female: As long as there is love, there will be pain (Male: As long as there is love, there will be pain)

Female: One day you will I know

Female: Life will not be different without me (Male: It will be different without you)

Female: Life has been too hasty

Female: I am so scared My eyes are always misty with tears (Male: Your eyes are misty with tears)

Female: If you forget me, there will be no pain (Male: There is no use forgetting you)

Female: Leave the past in the wind Middle (Male: Leave the past in the wind)

Female: Why don’t you understand (Male: Don’t say I don’t understand)

Female: As long as there is love, there is pain (Male) : When there is love, there is pain)

Female: One day you will know

Female: Life will not be different without me (Male: It will be different without you)

Female: Life has been too fast

Female: I am so scared that my eyes are always filled with tears (Male: Your eyes are filled with tears)

Female: If you forget me, there will be no pain (Male: It’s no use forgetting you)

Female: Leave the past in the wind

Leslie Leslie’s version of the lyrics:

Ah, it seems to me

Today is the day when you and I say goodbye

Don’t mention the past again

Life has been full of storms

Even if the memory cannot be erased

Love and hate are still in my heart

I really have to let go of the past

Let tomorrow continue well

You should stop asking me for news

Love is a difficult problem

It’s dazzling

Maybe you can forget the pain

p>

It’s not easy to forget you

You never really left

You are always in my heart

I still love you Meaning

I can’t do anything about myself

Because I still have dreams

I still keep you in my heart

It’s always easy to be forgotten by the past Touched

My heart aches for you all the time

Don’t miss the years

My unintentional tenderness

Don’t ask me if we will meet again

Don’t worry if I don’t mean what I say

Why don’t you understand

As long as there is love there is pain

One day you will know

Life will not be different without me

Life has been too hasty

I am so scared that my eyes are always filled with tears

There will be no pain if you forget me

Leave the past in the wind

Because I still have dreams

I still keep you in my heart

It is always easy to be Touched by past events

My heart aches for you all the time

Don’t miss the years

My unintentional tenderness

Don’t ask me if I will ever see you again Meet again

Don’t worry if I don’t mean what I say

Why don’t you understand

As long as there is love there is pain

One day you will know

Life will not be different without me

Life has been too hasty

I am so scared that my eyes are always hazy with tears

If you forget me, there will be no Pain

Leave the past in the wind

Why don’t you understand

As long as there is love, there is pain

One day you will know

Life will not be different without me

Life has been too hasty

I am so scared that my eyes are always misty with tears

If you forget about me, No pain

Leave the past in the wind
