ニガくてせつない香り
明日の今頃には
あなたはどこにいるんだろう
誰を想ってるんだろう
You are always gonna be my love
I'll remember to love you taught me how
You are always gonna be the one
今はまだ悲しい love song
新しい歌うたえるまで
立ち止まる時間が 動き出そうとしてる
忘れたくないことばかり
明日の今頃には
わたしはきっと泣いてる
あなたを想ってるんだろう
Yeah, you will always be inside my heart
いつもあなただけの場所があるから
I hope that I have a place in your heart too
Now and forever you are still the one
今はまだ悲しい love song
新しい歌うたえるまで oh oh
You are always gonna be my love
いつか誰かとまた恋に落ちても
I'll remember to love you taught me how
You are always gonna be the one
まだ悲しい love song, yeah
Now and forever, ever
