Afraid of being seen through,
We play the part of ordinary fools,
Crushed by the look on your
Poor face, fading away.
Dreams lose their color in time,
Do we grow up like this?
Did you ever learn? Even in tough times,
To hold back tears and act like it’s nothing.

You, who know too much about people,
Your heart shows signs of forgetting,
If only I could take away
The pain of bitter memories, far away.

If I could paint my childhood days in dreams,
I long for a world of mist that expands,
The shadow of me, holding on,
I don’t want to turn you into a memory,
The pure you.

You, so dear, are being tainted,
In the mist.
You, so dear, are getting hurt,
In the mist.

If I reflect on the days gone by,
I chase after the world of mist that expands,
The shadow of me, longing for,
If only everyone could find happiness.

You, so dear, are being tainted,
In the mist.
You, so dear, are getting hurt,
In the mist.
Like a lost child, you wander,
In the mist.
Your heart, so close yet so far,
Is in the mist.

Scared of being seen through,
These casual, shitty words,
But the truth that can’t be voiced
Is quietly tucked away in my heart.
If your wounds are
My last memory,
I want to bring you peace,
And the sad cycle of forgetting.

Knowing too much about people, you see nothing,
In your painful heart,
I want to let you hear a love song,
So trembling, as a melody,
To your heart in the mist.
