Alisa Takigawa - Sayonara no Yukue Lyrics

I can hear your laughing voice from far away –
A voice that I thought would always be by my side.

On a classroom window I’d fogged up with my breath, I wrote your name,
Then panicked and wiped it away with my sleeve.
I heard your voice from out in the hallway,
So I headed home hastily, as if trying to deceive my true feelings.

Since when did I start not being unable to even speak to you?

I can hear your laughing voice from far away –
A voice that I thought would always be by my side.
You were someone that always noticed,
Without me having to say a thing.
But even if I’ve realized you’re more important than anything,
Our eyes will never meet again…

I saw you in the corner of the classroom –
I really want to say something to you,
But standing out in the hallway, I can’t even do that;
I pretend everything is okay and smile until the sun sets.

Since when did we stop talking about our dreams?

Far away, the view of your back gets smaller and smaller,
Even though I thought you would always be by my side.
It’s because I can’t change,
That we end up hurting one another.
More than anything, I hate myself;
I can’t look you in the eyes anymore…

My breath turns white following the road home,
As the things I want to say to you overflow.
More loneliness than I can bear… more anxiety than I can control…
Though I bet you could change it all in a single second!

I can hear our laughing voices from that day…
I’ll never say “together forever” again.
When we were faced with boring days,
You’d always sent them flying with a kick!
I loved you so much that now I’m empty inside.
