バッドエンドの続きを (Baddo endo no tsuzuki wo) – After the bad ending
from Sekai album.
——
If I had done something
The ending would be changed
But the story I’ve illustrated
Is always cruel
I remain at the ticket gate
Of the station you’d never alight at again
The date on the ticket in my hand
Still spells out that day
I was the one who waved away
The hand you extended to me
What I had been searching for
Doesn’t matter anymore
A bad ending suits me well.
If I could have the chance to proceed down
The path not chosen
The you in my memories would smile and say
“How convenient is that?”
If I could see you once again
What would I say to you?
I’ve always known the truth
That the last page is empty
Though I pretended not to.
Even now, I’ve always
Walked on, not knowing the ending
While envying the outcome of that “maybe”
Even so, someday
Regret will become the answer
Till then, I’ll survive, believing in what’s coming
After the bad ending
