End Middle Beginning – I Love You, But

Lagu patah hati yang ditulis supaya mantannya keki. End Middle Beginning tidak menutupinya sama sekali, dan I Love You, But justru makin enak karena itu. Ada dendam yang manis di sini.

Bunyinya power pop yang cerah dengan jangle yang berpasir. Drum mantap, gitar bergemerincing hangat, garis bas melodius menjaga semuanya di jalur. Bait berdenyut stabil, lalu reff membubung. Cepat, panas, gampang dikunyah. (Pantas ia masuk gim ritme, jari kita sudah gatal mengetuk meja.)

Ceritanya sebelas bulan, putus-sambung lebih dari sekali, lalu ditutup tiga kalimat yang semuanya dibuka dengan aku cinta kamu dan diakhiri dengan tapi. Tidak cukup. Ada yang janggal. Waktunya salah. Kita tahu persis rasanya menerima pujian yang merangkap penolakan.

Lalu belokan di ujung. I Love You, But yang katanya untuk balas dendam malah ditutup End Middle Beginning dengan pengakuan “I can’t help that I’m so in love with you”. Saya tertawa, lalu agak kasihan.

Jadi, siapa yang sebenarnya sedang dibikin keki?

Lirik Lagu End Middle Beginning – I Love You, But

We made it through eleven months
I know we broke up more than once
But I could see the future for the trees

When I pushed you on
Explaining what went wrong
You said

I love you but it’s not enough
I love you but there’s something off
I love you but I’m not in love with you
Is it true?

Thought it was too good to lose
But it was too good to be true
You pinched me and I woke up from my dream

I couldn’t understand
Why it had to end
You said

I love you but it’s not enough
I love you but the timing’s off
I love you but I’m not in love with you
Can it be true?

I love you but it’s not enough
I love you but there’s something off
I love you but I’m not in love
Tell me it isn’t true, because

I want my love to be enough (I still dream about you)
I’m in too deep to just give up (I’m not me without you)
I can’t help that I’m so in love with you
