If I should stay
In the scenario where I should continue this relationship,
Well, I would only be in your way
It will only hinder your growth and progress.
And so I'll go, but yet I know
However, I will end it, still remembering
That I'll think of you each step of my way
Memories of you will always accompany me in every path I take.
And I will always love you
I will continue to love you even after our separation.
I will always love you
My love for you will never fade.
Bitter-sweet memories
Memories that evoke both happiness and sadness.
That's all I have, and all I'm taking with me
The only thing I take with me after leaving is the memories we shared.
