Yeah

Yeah

Yeah

Ah, ah, ah-ah

The love we cried out in the night

Ended because of me

It's endless, like this

I sing to you, who’s not here

Make me jealous

Let me love you that much, just like that

Every time I see you, it hurts so much

Let me love you

Ah, ah, ah, wow-oh

Ah, ah, wow-wow

The love we once prayed for

Can you believe it's over?

I didn't need this spice in our love

I wonder how it all will turn out

...

We’ve become one plus one

I understand, I really do

Even so, I love you

To the point that I start running, ah-ah

Make me jealous

Let me love you that much, just like that

Every time I see you, it hurts so much

Let me love you

I wish I could have just stayed not loving you

I wish I never knew you

I wish I could have just stayed not loving you

I wish I never knew you

I wish I could have just stayed not loving you

I wish I never knew you

I wish I could have just stayed not loving you, yeah

Key Grammar Structures

• 咽び泣いた夜の恋は

  ➔ Past tense of the verb '泣く' (to cry) with the suffix '-た' to indicate completed action.

  ➔ The suffix 'た' is used to form the past tense of godan and ichidan verbs in Japanese, indicating the action was completed.

• いないあなたに歌う

  ➔ Use of the negative form 'いない' (not present/existing) with the auxiliary 'に' to indicate the target of the action.

  ➔ The phrase 'いないあなた' means 'the person who is not present' or 'you (who are not there)', with 'に' showing the target or recipient of the action.

• 好きにさせてよ

  ➔ Causative-passive construction 'させて' meaning 'let me make (you) do' or 'allow (me) to make (you) do', with the ending 'よ' for emphasis or request.

  ➔ The causative form 'させて' is used to express someone causing or allowing someone else to do an action, and 'よ' adds emphasis or a soft request.

• 好きにならずにいたかった

  ➔ Use of 'ずに' to express avoiding or not wanting to do a certain action; 'いたかった' is the past tense of 'いたい' (want to be).

  ➔ The structure '〜ずに' attaches to the verb stem to indicate the action is avoided or not intended, while 'いたかった' is the past form of expressing desire to be or want.

• 終わったって信じれる？

  ➔ Use of 'って' as casual quoting particle; '信じれる' (can believe) is the potential form of '信じる' (to believe).

  ➔ 'って' is often used in casual speech to quote or refer to something; '信じれる' express the ability or possibility to believe.

• こんなスパイスは

  ➔ Use of 'は' as the topic marker highlighting 'such spices'; 'こんな' means 'such' or 'these kind of'.

  ➔ The particle 'は' marks the topic of the sentence, here emphasizing 'such spices', while 'こんな' describes a certain kind or example of spices.
