from Namida single.

You’re somehow more taciturn than usual as I grip your hand tight
Behind the ferris wheel floating in the sky, the sun slowly set
After an awkward kiss, we shared an awkward hug
Even so, your eyes are downcast
Not wanting to see my face… why are you crying?

The first tears you shed, on the day I confessed my love for you
The last tears you shed, as I say “goodbye” and “sorry”
Falling now

I’ve liked many other girls before this, but
The fact that love can be such a sad feeling
I never knew it until I met you
To always, always stay beside you, to always, always love you
The dreams I promised, not a single one kept nor came true as we part

The first tears you shed, overflowing because of happiness, yet
The last tears you shed, overflowing because of frustrating, miserable feelings

A romance that started with tears, has ended in tears…
Looking up, the ferris wheel blurs into the nightsky

The first tears you shed, on that day I confessed my love for you
The last tears you shed, as I say “goodbye” and “sorry”
Falling today
