[Intro]
If only
If this world were mine alone, then,
I wouldn’t have had to know
What it’s like to hate someone.
And yet—
And yet—
I just can’t forgive you.

[Verse 1]
The night is just so long.
People— they can’t let go.
It’s pathetic, isn’t it?
Even now, after all that’s happened,
My heart still stirs at the morning sun.

[Bridge]
The moment I held you close,
It was the end.
I loathe the purity in me that believed.
Those days I spent loving you—
More than anything,
They were precious, beloved, painful, and pitiful.

[Verse 2]
If only
Back then, wrapped in sun-warmed blankets,
That innocent you
Had stayed just as you were—
How much—
How much better it might have been…
But I’ll never know now.

[Pre-Chorus]
Ah, I pick flowers again
And press our hands together.
I’ll be with you soon.

Even if maggots crawl in my heart,
The scent still lingers—
The warmth of that day,
Ugly, but I still love it.

[Chorus]
What should I do?
If I’ve already become
Just another part of this wretched contamination…
Then, what should I do?
Should I just forget it all?
Yes— let’s go home and share a kiss.

[Post-Chorus]
“What should I do?”
Tell me—what should I do?
This rotting body of mine…
Please, dress it up beautifully.
Just—please don’t forget me.

[Chorus – Repeat]
The moment I held you close,
It was the end.
I loathe the purity in me that believed.
Those days I spent loving you—
More than anything,
They were precious, beloved, painful, and pitiful.

[Post-Chorus – Repeat]
Ah, I pick flowers again
And press our hands together.
I’ll be with you soon.
Even if maggots crawl in my heart,
The scent still lingers—
The warmth of that day,
Ugly, but I still love it.

[Outro]
Ah, with an angel’s laughter,
I am kept alive today again.
You’ll be here soon, won’t you?
If I can meet you again,
Just as you were back then—
This time, I’ll hold your hand properly.
