Lyrics & Translation
Like a thread
As time passes by
It becomes harder and more fragile
Memories cracked and broken
Unable to tidy them away
Dressed in beautiful clothes
I pretended to forget everything
Surely, I won't love anyone like this
And no one will love me
Every time my heart aches deeply
I curled up and whispered that
Even wishing for happiness felt scary
I was frightened, not knowing how to cry
In the warmth of someone holding me
When I looked up, there you were
The sound I heard in your arms
Was a very gentle and warm sound
One by one, my heart began to melt
Meeting you
I learned what love was for the first time
Even wiping it away, I couldn't shake it off
Like a bad dream
Still lurking somewhere in the shadows
Surely, you noticed
Staring into the depths of my
Eyes that smiled awkwardly
You held me tightly without saying a word
As if to embrace everything
Even wishing for happiness felt scary
I was frightened, not knowing how to cry
“Let’s go together from here,”
You tightened the hand you held
Walking beside you as you led me
The scenery I saw was very beautiful
One by one, our hearts began to connect
Meeting you
I learned what love was for the first time
