pergi saja - GEISHA

terima kasih tuk luka yang kau beri
ku tak percaya kau tlah begini
dulu kau menjadi malaikat di hati
sampai hati kau telah begini

* berkali-kali kau katakan sendiri
kini ku tlah benci, cintaku tlah pergi

pergi saja kau pergi, tak usah kembali
percuma saja kini hanya mengundang perih
cukup tahu ku dirimu, cukup sakit ku rasakan kini

janji yang selalu ku ingat hingga mati
kau setia hingga ku kembali

repeat *

pergi saja kau pergi, tak usah kembali
percuma saja kini hanya mengundang perih
buang saja kau buang cinta yang kemarin
perasaan tak mungkin percayamu lagi
cukup tahu ku dirimu, cukup sakit ku rasakan kini

pergi saja kau pergi, tak usah kembali
percuma saja kini hanya mengundang perih
buang saja kau buang cinta yang kemarin
ooo percayamu lagi
tinggalkan saja diriku, semua kan percuma
cukup tahu ku dirimu, cukup sakit ku rasakan kini
