Lyrics & Translation
A little more, don't need me, why do I keep holding on
I haven't really wronged you
Why do we find excuses to commit sins and evil, just forget it
Have you doubted or regretted?
A little more, losing you, why can't I change
Clearly flawed like tangled threads, just don't cover them up
Actually, you have many admirers who love you
I'm grateful you still stay
Between lovers, can we allow little secrets?
Should we reveal them, but fear being even lower
Between lovers, can we permit small mistakes?
Really thought about it, no flowers given, no sweet words
That's love too (but I have more faults)
Much more serious, several times over
Endure to the end, time isn't wasted
Why is human nature so cruel?
Even if the sky is gray, I want to keep watching the crescent moon (the spoiled get worse)
Is this love? (Is this love?)
Or is it about being moved? (Or is it oppression?)
Let it go at no cost (no more way to spend)
Almost wanted to give up, why haven't I let go (Really don’t want to dig into it, if I love you)
A little more, don't need you, why keep enduring (No need to uncover the truth if I love you)
Why do I keep holding on, haven't I wronged you? (If you know it will spoil the mood, don’t dig into it)
Why commit crimes, make excuses and give up? (Lovers should turn dark dreams into fantasy)
Have you doubted or regretted? (If honesty is frightening)
A little more, losing you, why can't I change? (Don’t want to uncover the truth, if I love you)
Clearly flawed like tangled threads, let the details go
(So be it) Don’t look, (so be it) Don’t listen
What would make you fully let go? (Willing to suffer, remembering the old times)
Mercifully let me have a chance again (Sweetest moment)
Start being stupid, can I endure and wait?
Did you ever struggle internally? (Just give this gift to you)
No investigation into crimes, I want to hear you talk
Almost wanted to give up, why haven't I let go
A little more, don't need you, why do I keep holding on
It's the stubborn personality, isn’t it?
Able to enlarge happy memories every night to compensate for now (romanticizing your flaws)
I knew early on everyone has many imperfections (Really want to curb all bad habits)
Only need to hide the good side (but I can't always suppress my true nature)
If pathological traits appear, remember when I looked beautiful (Still, I want to secretly confirm this)
If you are playfully naughty, I will forgive you (Or miss some moments)
Hope you can understand
Using these tricks, there's a bit of shame too (Who uses love as medicine to heal you)
Sometimes you love me (Hard to forgive and not miss)
It's not easy
Knowing the principle early, so I wasn't surprised
To find happiness first, you must accept the worst
Climb to heaven and win in a second
But the path to immortality is distant and terrifying
My relationship with you is like a massive stone blooming
A beautiful moment, kill me if you want
Thus, I can't bear to see these ruins and broken tiles
