Lyrics & Translation

[English] I can't see you anymore...
Don’t let me go...
“Shall we go see a movie?”
Tickets hidden deep in my pocket
That sweet aroma of your favorite popcorn
Blending together
A sudden love story like a heroine’s turn
Layering up with my expectations
Can I take you to the scene of our kiss?
If only I could bring you along...
If I could have honestly spoken my thoughts
What kind of person would I be now?
We can’t go back to us
And keep walking the path we chose
I want you right beside me
That I can’t see you anymore...
Don’t let me go
Don’t let me go...
When I was watching the stories
I happened to see you
That smile I was longing for
Reflected a version of me who couldn't return it
You, dreaming of being the heroine
And me, longing to be the hero
We often talked about the future
While looking at the stars and sharing our dreams
If I had just taken your hand without hesitation
What kind of future would that have been?
We can’t go back to us
And keep walking the path we chose
I want you right beside me
That I can’t see you anymore...
Don’t let me go
Don’t let me go...
The two of us can probably never go back to how it was
Even if we meet in dreams, just once more
Never let you go
We can’t go back to us
And keep walking the path we chose
“I want you right beside me”
That’s what you said
Don’t let me go
