If you and I
are to part ways,
is that enough? Is it enough?
If time and circumstance
are all that matter,
is that enough? Is it enough?
Bringing us together in love,
to live in love,
is it possible? Can we ever?
My love,
will your memories
ever leave me? Will they leave?
Will they leave?
The song written by fate
is just a game.
Hearing it, my mind is troubled,
it feeds me a swirl of confusion.
With cold calculation,
into this story,
why did it bring me?
Within me alone,
planting confusion,
why was I created?
The moment of my birth,
for what reason it happened,
to realize it,
to understand it,
the wisdom to know—
why do I lack it? Oh...
The song written by fate
is just a game.
Hearing it, my mind is troubled,
it feeds me a swirl of confusion.
To give love to others,
to serve them,
longing, praying, and pleading,
I was the one who asked for this.
Today, standing isolated here,
losing my senses and torn apart,
my path has been shut—
why has it happened?
What is this? Spoken by whom?
Is it a curse, or someone's wrath?
To see, understand, and tell me,
who is there?
Living here today,
this life
is not a life at all.
When will this suffering end?
If you and I
are to part ways,
is that enough? Is it enough?
If time and circumstance
are all that matter,
is that enough? Is it enough?
Bringing us together in love,
to live in love,
is it possible? Can we ever?
My love,
will your memories
ever leave me? Will they leave?
