[English]
They say love comes back around again
But for me, anymore
I’ve had too many connections I didn’t
Want to let go of
They say love comes back around again, but I
[음악]
I didn’t want to let go of the connections
I had so many of
The tower I had stacked up
One by one
Crumbles down again
It’s worse than just staying still; that emptiness
[음악][노래]
I can’t put into words
Inside my heart, the gears
Must fit together
Just perfectly
For it to work—that old fairy tale-like
Talk really doesn't appeal to me
They say it comes back, but for me, anymore
I didn’t want to
Let go of the connections I had
I met so many, they say love
Comes back again, but I
[음악]
Didn’t want to let go of the connections
I had so many of; sometimes I think
If love were math, if there were one single answer
Without other solutions
What would it have been like? In the past
xx [음악][노래]
Multiplication
Even to me, never, the words that drive a wedge
Into the relationships that were like this now
Doesn’t it make your heart flutter? Don't you see me as a man?
It feels like it’s not the time for dating
Does that even make sense?
They say love comes back again, but
I
Didn’t want to let go of the connections
I had so many of, love
[노래]
They say it comes back again, but I
Didn’t have any connections I didn’t want to let go of
없는걸 [음악]
Ah, it’s difficult. Ah. [Sigh]
