You were just a friend of mine and

There were nothing more or less

Behind in between the two of us, thus

I thought this will last forever

Why should we suppose to be a good guy

Girl that we’re pretending to be

But yes, I was afraid to say goodbye

To the days we went as ever

Over thousands miles away from here

Just searching for the lights that guides us here

You were there for me

And I was there for you

What else will you expect for love?

You’ve already knew, there’s nothing

So new in that we’re gave from birthday

I am happy I hope you too, but yes

I am sad when you’re not in the mood

This is the very place in a fairy tale begins from

“Once upon a time”

By the way you’re the one who told me to get lost and said

“Please will you never to show up in front of me? Eternally”

I wished you didn’t mean it but you never lied to me

We went over this again and again

But I feel something special when you call my name

So this is that love is all about

Who? What? When?

Doesn’t matter all it matter’s is now or never

Over thousands reason you have searched

But to tell the truth, to love someone

I’m pretty sure that one will do

You were there for me

And I was there for you

What else will you expect for love?

You’ve already knew, there’s nothing so

New in what we’ve gave from birthday

I am happy I hope you too, but yes

I am sad when you’re not in the mood

This is the very place in a fairy tale begins from

“Once upon a time”

理由なんて一つでいいんだよ
Riyū nante hitotsude ī nda yo

信じてみてもいいんだよ
Shinjite mite mo ī nda yo

思い出に浸る暇もないってくらい
Omoide ni hitaru hima mo nai tte kurai

思い出作りたい
Omoide tsukuritai

そしていつか読み返そう
Soshite itsuka yomikaesou

むかしむかしあるところに…
Mukashi mukashi aru tokoro ni…

You were there for me

And I was there for you

What else will you expect for love?

You’ve already knew, there’s nothing

So new in what we’ve gave from birthday

I am happy I hope you too, but yes
