English Lyrics
Just like my favorite shoes, we were together no matter when When I wore them, they always turned pitch black right away Each time I washed them, they'd get clean, but in return they got wrecked quickly And now I can't wear them at all

I tried wearing other shoes And for the first time, I understood how comfortable those shoes were At long last

Because there's no one who can replace you The time in the future I'd planned on spending with you Meanwhile, if there's something, I compare it to you, and I can remember you right away No matter what I do, I won't fill up--I just can't

I want to be by you, nobody but you can be next to me, together forever

I hadn't wanted to lose you, that's for certain So then why did I tell a lie like that? "I'm sorry" Was I, who thought at the time, "This is for the best," wrong? I ended up hurting you badly

My heart remembers 'the words you gave me, and various expressions' My body, even now, remembers 'kindness'

My mind's eye clearly pictures your grieving face It's just like how it was yesterday I had thought 'It's my privilege, since I know you so well' But it backfired, and regrets assail me

''You tell me time will settle everything? And here you're steadily building a forcefield!'' "I knew it--it can't be anyone but you, and..." We can't go back anymore to what we were back then, so rather than doing it over again, Let's now start from the beginning as who we are

The ultimate partner, my precious partner You're forever my partner, without changing, my partner
