君は僕と会わない方がよかったのかな (Kimi wa boku to awanai hou ga yokatta no kana) – Maybe it’s better if you’d never met me
from Inochi wa utsukushii single.
——
Maybe it’s better if you’d never met me
That’s what I thought
As I slipped into the crowd in the sunset city
Walking with my back hunched
The disappointment of my inability to attain happiness
Overwhelms me again today
The both of us used to
Want each other so much
But I pretended not to notice
And let it slide
Assuming that it was
Just plain kindness on my part
We slowly drifted apart, bit by bit
Unable to be honest
And embrace you
Yes, I made you sad
I’m sorry
Your meeting with me might have caused you
To take the long road
But you are in love with someone more mature
Than me, right now…
The lovers in that cafe seem to be having fun
While I sit miserable, alone
There had surely been chances
To mend it all, but
I let the same things
Repeat
Making you wait
Then hurting you
As memories turn into tears
I didn’t want to say goodbye
Over the phone
But I can’t say it
Face to face
Maybe it’s better if you’d never met me
That’s what I thought
As I slipped into the crowd in the sunset city
Walking with my back hunched
The disappointment of my inability to attain happiness
Overwhelms me again today
Getting into a time machine
I’ll go to the time before we met
I won’t talk to you
And just pass you by
WOW…
Destiny is always
So cruel
Yes, things never go
As planned
Your meeting with me might have caused you
To take the long road
But you are in love with someone more mature
Than me, right now…
The lovers in that cafe seem to be having fun
While I sit miserable, alone
I mean, I still love you
