[English]

I'm certain

I told you I loved you centuries ago

It's just that you forgot

And I didn't remember either

I'm certain

I told you I loved you centuries ago

It's just that you forgot

And I didn't remember either

Walked by, passed through, never met

Looked back, turned around, still missed

You and I never felt what it's like

To bump into each other at the street corner

To bump into each other at the street corner

I'm certain

I told you I loved you centuries ago

It's just that you forgot

And I didn't remember either

I'm certain

I told you I loved you centuries ago

It's just that you forgot

And I didn't remember either

Walked by, passed through, never met

Looked back, turned around, still missed

You and I never felt what it's like to bump into each other at the street corner

To bump into each other at the street corner

Didn't your mom tell you

To say sorry when you bump into someone?

Today was going so well

A lover was just missed

A lover was just missed

Walked by, passed through, never met

Looked back, turned around, still missed

You and I never felt what it's like to bump into each other at the street corner

To bump into each other at the street corner

Didn't your mom tell you

To say sorry when you bump into someone?

Today was going so well

A lover was just missed

A lover was just missed

Walked by, passed through, never met

Looked back, turned around, still missed

You and I never felt what it's like to bump into each other at the street corner

To bump into each other at the street corner

Didn't your mom tell you

To say sorry when you bump into someone?

Today was going so well

A lover was just missed

A lover was just missed

Walked by, passed through, never met

Looked back, turned around, still missed

You and I never felt what it's like to bump into each other at the street corner

To bump into each other at the street corner

Didn't your mom tell you

To say sorry when you bump into someone?

Today was going so well

A lover was just missed

A lover was just missed
