Lihat senyum manis di atas bibir bergincu
Kerdip mata merayu jelas coba mengganggu
Tawa renyah terpasang bukan tanpa tujuan
Satu korban terjerat itulah harapan
Wangi parfum semerbak membius pusat saraf
Hadirkan bayangan tuk lepas keresahan
Bergejolak, semua coba berontak
Ketika tak kuasa langsung kulari mengelak
Reff:
A a a… entah sampai kapa..a..an
Kau mampu bertahan, hindari kenyataan
Entah sampai kapa..a..an
Kau mampu bertaha..a..an
Mungkinkah terpikir, lepas belenggu hitam
Hidup memang slalu penuh dengan warna-warni
Bila terjebak sulit untuk coba keluar
Semua pasti ada jalan keluar
Cobalah berusaha
Reff:
A a a… entah sampai kapa..a..an
Kau mampu bertahan, hindari kenyataan
Entah sampai kapa..a..an
