A song by Lilia that sings about the complexities of love.

The lyrics portray the feelings of someone troubled by romance so realistically that you can’t help but relate.

Just because two people are in love doesn’t mean everything will always go smoothly.

Sometimes it’s hard to express what you’re really thinking.

It’s by overcoming various difficulties that the love between two people deepens.
