Metronome (Kenshi Yonezu)

Well if fate said we'd be friends

If it knew all along that we'd be like this

Then why did it end?

Then I see how life tricked me

And I realized our pain was part of fate too

We were never meant to be

Always

I dreamed again of things I can't have,

Just being the fool I am

And so we tortured one another

And we hurt each other

Just saying words I knew would break you
I couldn't even miss you
Well now you know, I let you go, before the regret came

I was weak and so afraid

No matter what the time of day,

What I try to throw away,

In the end I'll find myself breaking and calling out your name

No matter what I'm hating you,

My mind still thinks of you

And the things that I thought but never said
But I wish that you'd laugh at me instead

Everything's so grey nowadays

Any life I live is feeling pointless

Since you've gone away

Everything's just gone back in time

We just went to the place before we both met

Yet I'm still wondering why

Surely

We'd both become like little metronomes

And going on in the same tone

Our tempos swung along and stayed the same

Going on for everyday

Then bit by bit, before I could think

We grew apart and lost sync

The time went on, your love was gone, before I could comprehend

We just couldn't stop the end

Where will we be from here on out?
Will I live with all these doubts?

Will you fade within my heart, and cease the grief I sing about?

No matter how you hated me,
How happy you will be

I don't wish you'd forget you loved me

'Cause I know in my heart, you'll always be...

Just passing by the truth and lies,

Our backs are turned despite how hard we had tried

Walking along, gradually moving out of sight

If once again our tempos then

Could match like when we lived as only best friends,
Maybe just then, in a new life of things said

Could we meet and love once again?

No matter what the time of day,

What I try to throw away,

In the end I'll find myself a fool and love you anyways

No matter how I'm hating you,
My mind still thinks of you

And the things that I thought but never said

But I wish you'd laugh at me instead

In a life after this, we'll meet again
