"Goodbye" is not a word to signify a parting
It's a distant promise to keep until our next encounter
Though you say it is a longing for where your dreams are
I say you are only trying to startle me
Even though I wanna hold you tight
For so many hours this way
Even though I just wanna keep
Your cold cheeks warm this way
The city is a constantly frantic old place
Where love is buried inside a concrete casket
If you ever get tired of pursuing a love out of destiny
Please come back to me
While I store all the men I loved in my fond memories
I urge that someday they will
Do the same for me
Just stick a tiny note somewhere at the corner of their hearts
With a suitcase that's
Packed to the brim with a heavy load called hope
You are probably gonna pretend it's light
And flash a smile as you carry it
While I turn all the men I loved into a sort of brilliance
I urge that someday they will
Try to remember me
Just stick a tiny note somewhere at the corner of their hearts
Sayonara wa wakare no kotoba ja nakute
Futatabi au made no tooi yakusoku
Yume no ita basho ni miren nokoshitemo kokoro samui dakesa
Kono mama nanjikan demo daiteitai kedo
Tada kono mama tsumetai hoho o atatametai kedo
Tokai wa byoukizami no awatadashisa
Koi mo concrete no hako no naka
Kimi ga meguriau ai ni tsukaretara kitto modotte oide
Ai shita otokotachi o omoide ni kaete
Itsu no hi ni ka boku no koto o omoidasu ga ii
Tada kokoro no katasumi ni demo chiisaku memo shite
Suitscase ippai ni tsumekonda
Kibou to iu na no omoi nimotsu o
Kimi wa karugaru to kitto mochiagete egao miseru darou
Ai shita otokotachi o kagayaki ni kaete
Itsu no hi ni ka boku no koto o omoidasu ga ii
Tada kokoro no katasumi ni demo chiisaku memo shite
