Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Just how long have you known

that you never intended to marry me

This is all as confusing to me as it is to you

Ugh unlikely

I care about you very much

Yet not as much as for a certain someone?

Dear Anne..

You are the fond object of my affection

and my desire

I must unburden my heart

Those for me?

It's kind of you to bring them by

Did she argue bitterly

that some childhood promise was implied?

Carrots

I'm not talking to you

I don't understand

What's holding you back?

Then you show up at the ruins

after exams and demand to know how

Anne feels about you and give her all

of 30 seconds to decide her entire future

Gilbert is marrying the girl of his dreams

and that girl is not me

One thing..

Do you truly have feelings for me?

And worse of all

you callously ignore the letter Anne wrote to you

even though she told you she loved you!

What letter?

Diana what letter?

I just had to check

I have a very good imagination

so I just had to be sure

this is real...
