I'm certain that everyone
winds up hurting others
while anticipating something
that isn't what they need
When we were together we fought
i wonder if we've been together for too long
and while we act stubborn
the distance just gets wider
If we had kissed
or held on together
things probably would have been alright
i've forgotten
what it's like
to just be in love
Happiness we can believe in...
and sadness that we're both hurt by...
so that someday
i can love you honestly...
time goes by...
When things weren't going right
all we did was make up excuses
that's right, during those times
we were so much alike
I always wished for
things like tranquility
and truth
but unlike words
it's not easy
to express these feelings skillfully
Won't you remember once more
that we were that much in love
until the day comes
when i can say "thank you"
say good bye...
In the moment
when left-behind scars vanish
i'm sure i'll know the meaning
of true kindness
Please enjoy time carefully
without turning your back on days past
it'll be nice if someday
i can smile again and be with you
time goes by...
