Anata no koi no gisei ni natta tsumori wa nai yoI don’t intend to be a victim of your love,
Tsuzuiteku koto dake ga subete janai nocontinuing isn’t the only thing that matters.
Egaki atta yume datteEven the dreams we drew together,
Kanawanai yakusoku datte souand the promises that won’t come true, too.
Kawashita ano shunkan ni imi ga aru noThe moments we shared have meaning.

Sayonara hitotsu kurai dejust because of a single goodbye,
Nakatta koto ni shinai dedon’t act like they never happened.
