[English]
Hop into the time machine
Tick-tock, tick-tock
To erase the memories of being with you
If it's going to be this painful
Before I met you
Pretend that it never happened
I loved myself the most
Until I met you, more than anyone else
I lost someone more important than myself—you
The most important thing left my world
And it’s like deep sleep slowly taking over me
Consuming me
Every time I thought I was happy
Tears start to fall, even now
Hop into the time machine
Tick-tock, tick-tock
To erase the memories of being with you
If it’s going to hurt this much
Before I met you
Pretend it never happened
I'm really glad I met you
I wonder if that day will ever come
Since that day three years ago, I feel like
I haven't really moved forward at all
When I walk the path with you
Every flower by the roadside feels like a brand-new discovery
Even these ordinary flowers, now
Hop into the time machine
Tick-tock, tick-tock
I've reached the moment I met you
Even though it hurts so much
If I hadn’t met you
I’d lose myself
The person I was the moment I met you
Was I really showing that face?
I can't watch anymore
After all, I can't stop myself
Meeting you
But I believe it was the right thing
Hop into the time machine
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Going back to a time without you
I can't look forward
And I can't look up either
So I’ll keep gazing at myself
