Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

さよならの前にキスをして

Let's share a kiss before we say goodbye

さよならの後は忘れさせて

Forget everything after we part ways

でも、あなたの名前が消えない

But your name still won't fade away

離れない (yeah) 話せない (yeah) 戻りたい (yeah)

I can't let go (yeah), can't speak (yeah), I want to go back (yeah)

Take me free

Take me free

この家具は君が居た (yeah)

This furniture holds the memories of you (yeah)

あの日々で止まった色味

Colors frozen in those days

部屋の中は香水だらけに染めた

The room is filled with traces of perfume

失恋のフレーバー

The flavor of heartbreak

当たり前さえも奇跡

Even ordinary things feel like miracles

当たり障りない君との軌跡

Our every little moment feels trivial yet meaningful

どれだけ恋しても

No matter how much I loved you

越えられない君を

I still can't overcome you

今なら分かる気がして (yeah yeah)

I feel like I understand now (yeah yeah)

今から過去に戻れるなら

If only I could go back to the past now

さよならの前にキスをして

Let's share a kiss before we say goodbye

さよならの後は忘れさせて

Forget everything after we part ways

でも、あなたの名前が消えない

But your name still won't fade away

離れない (yeah) 話せない (yeah) 戻りたい

I can't let go (yeah), can't speak (yeah), I want to go back

Take me free

Take me free

呪いたい程愛しているのよ

I love you so much I wish I could curse it

気づけばあなたのことばかり浮かべて

Before I knew it, I kept thinking only of you

明日になれば大丈夫

It's okay if tomorrow comes

何度言い聞かせればいいの

How many times do I have to tell myself this?

愛という沼に溺れている

I'm drowning in the swamp called love

私の声は届かない

My voice can't reach you

さよならの前にキスをして

Let's share a kiss before we say goodbye

さよならの後は忘れさせて

Forget everything after we part ways

でも、あなたの名前が消えない

But your name still won't fade away

離れない (yeah) 話せない (yeah) 戻りたい (yeah)

I can't let go (yeah), can't speak (yeah), I want to go back (yeah)

Take me free

Take me free

さよならの前にキスをして

Let's share a kiss before we say goodbye

さよならの後は忘れさせて

Forget everything after we part ways

でも、あなたの名前が消えない

But your name still won't fade away

離れない(yeah) 話さない(yeah) 戻れない(yeah)

I can't let go (yeah), can't speak (yeah), can't go back (yeah)

Take me free

Take me free
