The night I realized it was no one’s fault
I stopped in my tracks in that back alley, adjusting the volume on my headphones
Even though it’s a road I should know by now
It seemed like it was a little easier to breathe
I’m doing fine
Maybe I can be happy
Did you know? People can change
Looking back on the past makes me want to cry
Is it alright for me to believe that this is love?
I took it, protected it, and got hurt, but
Even after all that, maybe one day we can meet again in the future
I thought of it, I wanted it, I held on tight so I wouldn’t lose it
I didn’t say a thing about that day
Perfectly clear skies during this ordinary time of year
Everything is alright (I’ll protect you…)
Even though I know I’m not okay
It’s really fine
Slowly, I grew frustrated
Is it alright for me to decide that this is love, after all?
It’s painful, pitiful, and difficult, but
Even so, I’ll never, yeah I’ll never forget
I’ll safely, so diligently, take good care of it
I know I’ll lose it, so I have to be strong
Each loss only made me stronger
I already knew. There was more to all this
But it was easier if I just believed
So right here, right now, I’ll change too
I don’t give a damn if it’s impossible
When I uncovered my ears
A few tears fell down my face
The orange sky seemed to envelop this farewell
“Then, this is goodbye.”
Maybe one day we can meet again in the future
I thought of it, I wanted it, I held on tight so I wouldn’t lose it
