さよならの前に (Sayonara no mae ni) – Before goodbye

from Sayonara no mae ni single + Gold Symphony album.

——

Just like how the last page holds the story’s ending
Will a time come when the days we spend together end?
Hiding our shaking emotions deep in our hearts
We deceived each other, embracing and exchanging kisses

The future we promised on with our trembling pinkies
And your solid warmth
All of it will turn into lies the day we part

Goodbye to you
Do we really fall so much in love
Just to exchange such words?
Even if this is how we’ll end
Can I still say that I love you?

Is it too late?
My words and hands couldn’t reach you
Your laughter, the thorns in my chest
Memories threaten to spill from my eyes
Maybe I’m too late
I can never speak honestly
Unable to line up my words well
When I just want to say “I love you”

Like watching the same movie countless times
I think of the times we spent together, including today
The meaning of your scripted words and spilled tears
If I could accept them, would we end up in a different scenery?

“If you’re afraid of endings, then just don’t begin”
Before we met, we both believed that
Without any doubt

Goodbye to you
Until I speak such words
I just want to be the closest person to you
Even if this is our ending
As long as we are glad to have met each other

Goodbye to you
Do we really fall so much in love
Just to exchange such words?
Even if this is how we’ll end
I want to say that I love you

Goodbye to you
Until I speak such words
I just want to be the closest person to you
Even if this is our ending
As long as we are glad to have met each other

I love you
After so long
Let me say it
Before goodbye
