Artist: Hamasaki Ayumi
Title: Because of You
Words: Hamasaki Ayumi
Music: BOUNCEBACK

Our eyes met and we exchanged words
I hid the excitement in my heart with a smile
Don't think I'll ever be able to go back to a time
when I didn't know you.

the wind's gotten so cold
the laughter fades into the white
the reason I can cry without a reason
is probably cause of the winter.

I still now remember the night we met

Our eyes met and we exchanged words
I hid the excitement in my heart with a smile
Don't think I'll ever be able to go back to a time
when I didn't know you.

eventhough I'm slowly getting to know you
suddenly I don't know anything at all.

scream out,
keep trying until I understand

my feelings grow in the hours we can't see each other
it hurts not to be able to speak to you
I can't go back to a time I didn't know you.

Please don't smile with such sad eyes
fragile, and fleeting
tell me, what can I do for you.

why can't I just say how I feel sometimes
why can't I just be easy sometimes

why do we sometimes hurt one another
why do we sometimes feel out each other

why does it sometimes hurt this badly
why are you always this dear to me
you're the only one for me
you're the only one for me
