Too Late To Say
澤野弘之 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can′t run away from it
When they recite a spell
This ring will hurt me
Caught by the golden ring
I'm a child of human and evil
Can′t run away from it
How long?
I've lost my focus and I cannot see you anymore
And there's a blue frame that′s flickering
Where I cannot even draw my sword
All this power is in me, yet I cannot wield it alone
If you can hear, tell me now
What it means
I know I have lost it now
I knew something was wrong somehow
There′s nobody like me
But you're not here
So I′ll say goodbye
But now I can't even say my thank you
I′ve lost my focus and I cannot see you anymore
And there's a blue frame that′s flickering
Where I cannot even draw my sword
All this power is in me, yet I cannot wield it alone
If you can hear, tell me now
What it means
And we are all different
No two are ever the same
There's a burden in me
It won't go away
Although I don′t know everything
I′ll go my own way
And I'll keep on fighting all my life
I know I have lost it now
I knew something was wrong somehow
There′s nobody like me
But you're not here
So I′ll say goodbye
But now I can't even say my thank you
