this is the kind of thing you never notice
'don't forget, to always be yourself'
what's going on?
the little light went out
without a sound, or a word.

we're growing up little by little you and me,
I assumed we were following the same path.

the lily white cranes fly through, the blue sky,
that's just so brilliant it pierces my heart
left behind, I'm completely lost
I'm always so late to realize
the proof that I was here, is with you,
don't go.

I can't get out this thorn that freshly pricked me
it's red, it hurts, I'm scared
I gave up something dear to me,
so I could pass off everyday with 'It's impossible'

eventhough the path i walked was alive with flowers
I'm the one who withered, unshowered by love and conversation.

if you can't see in front of you,
why not shut your eyes tight
be still, like you're unaware of your surroundings
just keep faith in yourself
you always taught me this, with a smile
don't go.
