Song Description
Shueh-li has written everything from ballads to fusion-pop, theatrical soundscapes to prog-rock, so it is a treat when she strips down all grandeur to expose her voice in lyrics of cryptic imagery.

Lyrics
Verse 1 : I take the fall then catch myself.
My needs are important too, but so are you.
Can't make up my mind whom to be true.
I oscillate between the two, when I think of you.
Then you notice that you miss me, I'm etched into your mind.
Chorus : Our sentence is delivered.
Guilty as charged of trying to steal a working title.
Verse 2 : When teardrops fall, I catch my breath.
My needs are important too, but so are you.
I got to think of happy times,
Forgetting that you crossed the line, isn't such a crime.
And you wonder why you miss me, each time we say goodbye.
