Friend
Miwa Lyrics

The lyrics of Miwa's song "Friend" talk about the complexities of friendship and the regret of not expressing one's feelings. The song highlights the way little things in a friendship can stay with us and how we can feel nostalgic for something that we may have taken for granted. The opening lines state that the singer will be happy if their friend is happy, and they used to hold hands knowing they would eventually be separated. The singer expresses regret about not confessing their feelings when they had the chance, as they knew they would ultimately be apart.

The song talks about the times they shared, such as walking to the station or searching for a lost pencil in the school corridor. The bittersweet memories of their time together are expressed throughout the song, for instance, when the singer talks about watching the sunset with their friend and feeling lonely even when surrounded by other people. They reflect on the many firsts they shared together, such as their first meeting, their first conversation, and the warmth of their friend's hands when they held them.

Overall, "Friend" seems to be a nostalgic tribute to a beautiful friendship that's now over. The song suggests that while we can still cherish our memories of friends we've lost, there are always moments we wish we could have back, to say the things that are left unsaid and make sure that our friends know how much we appreciate them.
