2. Lyrics
Verse 1]
When the river lost its way,
It turned into a riverbed.
The riverbed never dreamed,
Of living dry and dead.
When you drifted far from me,
I turned into a stone.
I never wished to be so cold,
I never wished to be alone.
[Pre-Chorus]
A village needs its people,
A home needs a heart.
Without you in my life,
Everything falls apart.
[Chorus]
Don’t turn me into a riverbed, my love,
Come back like a river again.
Don’t turn my heart into an empty town,
Come back like the touch of rain.
A city may need everything,
But a home needs someone true.
I found the world around me,
But I still need you.
[Verse 2]
They say the city shines at night,
But light does not reach my soul.
I see a thousand faces there,
But none of them make me whole.
I became a broken resting place,
Where no traveler comes to stay.
Love is just like flowing water,
Once it dries, life slips away.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
When you smiled, flowers opened,
When you spoke, the wind would sing.
Now even my own shadow fears,
The loneliness I bring.
[Chorus]
Don’t turn me into a riverbed, my love,
Come back like a river again.
Don’t turn my heart into an empty town,
Come back like the touch of rain.
A city may need everything,
But a home needs someone true.
I found the world around me,
But I still need you.
[Bridge]
If I made mistakes, forgive me,
If distance grew, show me the way.
Inside this drying heart of mine,
Let one river flow again someday.
When rivers return, dry land turns green,
When people return, villages smile.
If you return, my dearest love,
This stone heart will melt after a while.
[Final Chorus]
Don’t turn me into a riverbed, my love,
Come back like a river again.
Don’t turn my heart into an empty town,
Come back like the touch of rain.
A city may need everything,
But a home needs someone true.
I found the world around me,
But I still need you.
[Outro]
When the river lost its way,
It turned into a riverbed.
The riverbed never wished,
To live so dry and dead.
When you drifted far from me,
I turned lonely and unknown.
I never wished to be alone,
I never wished to be alone.
