Because of you, I fell in love
You fell right into my heart
Did you blend into my breath?
With your eyes, you stirred up my soul
With your smile, you stole my heart
Did you block the way to my heart?
Don't you understand on your own?
Can't you tell just from a look?
My only soul,
You are shattering all alone
Don't you know without me telling you?
Can't you feel my desire that never fades?
My tender, innocent heart—
Is it right for you to set it on fire?
Even if you pull away from me
Even if you drive me away
Even if you make me wander aimlessly
I will never, ever let you go
Even if you flare up in anger
Even if you lock your heart away
Even if you walk by without looking at me
I will never, ever let you go
Oh girl, the memories...
...that you gave me
Surround me completely
And drive me crazy, oh oh...
Deep inside an unfamiliar forest,
Blindfolding my eyes,
Leaving me to cry out all alone—
Don't take pleasure in this, oh oh...
Don't you understand on your own?
Can't you tell just from a look?
My only soul,
You are shattering all alone
Even if you pull away from me
Even if you drive me away
Even if you make me wander aimlessly
I will never, ever let you go
Even if you flare up in anger
Even if you lock your heart away
Even if you walk by without looking at me
I will never, ever let you go
Even if you tell me to stay away
Even if you make me chase after you
Oh, even if my life slips away
I will never, ever let you go
Even if you walk away on your own
Even if you leave me behind
Oh, even if the world comes crashing down
I will never, ever let you go
