Description
When the heart decides instead of the brain, the story is always the same. At first, it's like a chocolate advert: sweet words, honest eyes, and it seems like this is a unique story, not like everyone else's. Then, of course, it turns out that ‘not like everyone else's’ just means a richer set of mistakes. But who would give up on love just because they know the outcome?
In the song, love is not a feeling, but a marathon for survival. When you can no longer tell where faith ends and the habit of justification begins. When the tears have long since dried up, but for some reason you still continue to defend a person who has long since lost your trust. And all that remains is a rhetorical question, quiet and weary: ‘Is this love... or is it just stupidity?’
A warm, dramatic, but painfully recognisable motif about how even in a broken mirror you can still see the face of the one you loved.

Lyrics and translation
Original
Kita adalah dua insan penuh cinta
Di awal tercipta kisah kita
Manis tuturmu buatku terpana
Bagiku kau sempurna
Memang benar semua kata mereka
Benar, ku t'lah dibutakan cinta
Tak hanya sekali kaukhianati
Sudah cukup, ku tak tahan hati
Mati-matian ku membelamu di depan mereka
Walau sakit, tetap ku percaya kau beda dari lainnya
Habis-habisan ku dibohongi, sayang, ini tetap sama
Tuhan, ini cinta atau bodoh?
Habis fikir dengan sifatmu itu
Berulang kali kumaafkan
Berulang lagi kaulakukan
Satu-satunya kebanggaanku
Kini jadi rasa sakit terdalam
Mati-matian ku membelamu di depan mereka
Mati-matian ku membelamu di depan mereka
Walau sakit, tetap ku percaya kau beda dari lainnya
Habis-habisan ku dibohongi, sayang, ini tetap sama
Tuhan, ini cinta atau bodoh?
(Mati-matian ku membelamu di depan mereka)
Walau sakit, tetap ku percaya kau beda dari lainnya
Habis-habisan ku dibohongi, sayang, ini tetap sama
Tuhan, ini cinta atau bodoh?
Oh, Tuhan, ini cinta atau bodoh?
English translation
We are two people full of love
At the beginning our story was created
The sweetness of your words makes me stunned
For me you are perfect
It's true everything they say
It's true, I've been blinded by love
You didn't just betray him once
That's enough, I can't stand it
I will desperately defend you in front of them
Even though you're sick, I still believe you're different from others
I've been lied to, darling, it's still the same
God, is this love or stupidity?
Don't think about your character
I forgive you many times
You do it again and again
My only pride
Now it's the deepest pain
I will desperately defend you in front of them
I will desperately defend you in front of them
Even though you're sick, I still believe you're different from others
I've been lied to, darling, it's still the same
God, is this love or stupidity?
(I'm desperately defending you in front of them)
Even though you're sick, I still believe you're different from others
I've been lied to, darling, it's still the same
God, is this love or stupidity?
Oh, God, is this love or stupidity?
