Analysis of All long



Precious times of our lives.
Leaning on each other's heart.
Giggling, laughing, sharing, keeping
Each other's company. You should've told me
I was accompanying you to your true lover.
I never knew that this happiness was temporary. I'm sorry I overstayed my company.

All along, I was blinded by your smile.
Behind that beauty hiding a reckless heart.
Poor me, picturing days of our lives into a better future. Whose fault is this? A man cry, farewell my lover, I wish you well on your world of plenty. I should have known better that this was too good to be true.

All along, pretending to be the one for me.
Love, the creater of sorrow. Awarding the sadness to victims. Oh wow! You must be proud. At the edge of earth with all my feelings. "Goodbye my beautiful lover" said the broken heart. "We enjoyed whatever we had while it lasted". "Till we meet again in the name of true love"
