Lyrics[edit]
Ask your soul... Ask your Heart...
Before you ask what has changed me...
I have been changed because of the torture I endured in loving you.
Only hope was giving me patience.
Your treachery hurt me... And I started to change bit by bit.
My change was not optional and I started to fold my longing to you.
I started to hate my weakness and patience. I chose to pull away.
I learned how to become stubborn...
Even abandonment became normal to me, Look what cruelty can do!
In the past, I used to find you, in tenderness, a sea of love and a shore of safety...
I used to feel that you are my time, my day, my day after, and what comes after too.
I used to see you through the eyes of my love, while you were away or close.
Closer than my lips to my smile, closer than my feelings to my heart.
ِAter all the love that I tended for you, all the passion that I granted you...
After the life that I dedicated to you, what else can I give you?
Your treachery hurt me... And I started to change bit by bit. I changed and it was not by my hands.
