Arigatou to kimi ni iwareru to nandaka setsunai 
sayounara no ato no tokenu mahou awaku horonigai 
The flavor of life

Tomodachi demo koibito demo nai chuukan chiten de 
shuukaku no hi wo yumemiteru aoi furu-tsu 
ato ippo ga fumidasenai sei de 
jirettai no nanode babe?

Arigatou to kimi ni iwareru to nandaka setsunai 
sayounara no ato no tokenu mahou awaku horonigai 
The flavor of life

Amai dake no sasoi monku aji ike no nai doku 
sonna mono ni wa kyoumi mo sosorenai 
omoitoori ni ikanai toki datte 

.

jinsei suteta mon janai tte 
doushita no? to kyuu ni kikareru to “uun. nandemo nai” 
sayounara no ato ni kieru egao watashi rashikunai 

.
Shinjitai to negaeba negau hodo nandaka setsunai 
“aishiteru yo” yori mo “daisuki” no hou ga kimi rashii janai? 
The flavor of life

Wasurekakete ita hito no kaori wo totsuzen omoidasu koro 
furitsumoru yuki no shirosa wo omou to sunao ni yorokobitai yo 
daiyamondo yorimo yawarakakute atatakana mirai 
teni shitai yo kagiri aru jikan wo kimi to sugoshitai 

.

Arigatou to kimi ni iwareru to nandaka setsunai 
sayounara no ato no tokenu mahou awaku horonigai 
The flavor of life 

     

When you say thank you to me, 
For some reason it hurts, 
Like a magic spell that doesn’t
Get undone even after the goodbye.
A hint of bitterness.
The flavor of life 

Stuck midpoint between friends and lovers, 
Like an un-riped fruit dreaming about the day of harvest
Because of being unable to just move one more step forward
What’s causing this frustration baby?

When you say thank you to me, 
For some reason it hurts, 
Like a magic spell that doesn’t
Get undone even after the goodbye.
A hint of bitterness
The flavor of life

Sweet talk and tasteless conversations.
It sparks no interest in me
Even when things do not go the way you want
It doesn’t mean you’ve thrown your life away

When asked “What’s wrong?”
I answer “It’s nothing”
The smile that disappears after goodbye
It’s unlike me

The more I wish to believe in you, 
For some reason it hurts even more ”I like you a lot” instead of “I love you” sounds more like you
The flavor of life

The period when you suddenly remember the scent of someone you had almost forgotten
I want to be able to openly and honestly cherish the white purity of the falling snow more

A future tender and warmer than a diamond
I want to grasp it, in this limited time we have, I want to spend it with you

When you say thank you to me, 
For some reason it hurts, 
Like a magic spell that doesn’t
Get undone even after the goodbye.
A hint of bitterness
The flavor of life
