Lyrics:
[English]
the afternoon on the go
the days we embrace
inevitably everything comes to an end
the sparkle we once shared
the butterflies we once felt
we leave it all behind somewhere
and that's okay
that's fine
til the day we could laugh together like that
whether the sky is dawning or dusking
we're gonna transcend them all
things change, and we can do nothing about it
just letting go, feeling lighter, and becoming filled
becoming filled
the moment we get the pleasure it's gone
but that's almost all we've been chasing for
been misusing the word "love"
are we now aware of its true meaning?
it's tragic to love someone just to be loved
rain of blessings on our dried-out hearts
whether the sky is clearing or getting stormy
we're gonna cherish them all
though i have nothing, i give you everything
just letting go, feeling lighter, and becoming filled
opening up our hearts to shine
it brightens up the darkness and shows us the way
in time, we will be connected beyond life and death
we're both letting go, feeling lighter, and becoming filled
whether the sky is clearing or getting stormy
we're gonna cherish them all
though i have nothing, i give you everything
we're both letting go, feeling lighter, and becoming filled
