Obage Mathaken Lyrics by Shihan Mihiranga

From your memory, I can never walk away
because the tears in my eyes never run dry
Come back to me again, from wherever you are in this world
From your memory, I can never walk away
because the tears in my eyes never run dry

The things you said when you were close just drift away and leave me
the smiles you showed have faded, and the pain stays
More than anyone else, you are the one I trusted
and even though you broke that trust, I love you forever

Even though you tricked me, saying we had parted
all I ever wish is that you never come to any sorrow
If there is any pity in your heart, come and find me once more
even though you deceived me and left, I love you forever

From your memory…

This is the voice of someone who cannot let go of a person they have lost. The song opens on him admitting the simple, helpless truth of it: he cannot walk away from the memory, because the tears in his eyes never dry up. He pleads with the one who is gone to come back to him, from wherever they are now in this world. That phrasing, “from wherever you are,” carries the ache of separation, the sense that the other person is somewhere out of reach and he is calling across the distance.

As the song moves on, the pain sharpens into something closer to betrayal. The sweet things this person said when they were close have all drifted away, and the smiles they once showed have faded into nothing but hurt. He trusted them more than anyone in his life, and that is exactly what makes the wound so deep: it was the one he believed in completely who broke his trust. And still, against all of it, he says he loves them forever. That refusal to stop loving, even after being let down, is the heart of the song.

The last verse twists the knife gently. The other person tricked him by saying they had simply parted ways, made him believe it was over. Yet even now, he wishes them no sorrow at all. All he hopes is that they never come to any grief. If there is even a little pity left in their heart, he begs them to come and find him again. The line “even though you deceived me and left, I love you forever” is the kind of forgiveness that only comes from love that refuses to die.

What lands here is how the song holds two feelings at once. There is the bitterness of being deceived, and underneath it, a love so stubborn that it forgives without being asked. He is not trying to win an argument or prove he was wronged. He is simply admitting that his heart did not get the memo, that it goes on loving someone who has gone, and that the tears, like the love, are not going to stop.
