Just To Have Heartbreak

A bird flies by, with a flower that was mine
And sinks down into the sky

I looked at my hands
And see an icy blue romance

I stared at him, wondering whether I should
He glanced down
With a hint of smile inside, he leaned in close

His bangs brushed against me - I think I was way too shy
Then I held back and grasped onto my shadow

He left me there, with a smirk on his face

Oh why did I do this, just to have a heartbreak
