So why not smile as we say goodbye?

Bye Bye Yesterday, a year’s worth of lessons can’t be merely shoved away
          We laugh and say that “we’ll see you soon” although this will be our last day with you
          Bye Bye Yesterday, if a year’s worth of lessons has made me grow up while time flies by
          Then I promise that I won’t even cry, even when we say our final goodbyes!

Wanting death, I force myself to live on for you,
          Wanting life, you lose sight of your own future...
          YET WHY MUST WE REMAIN SAD LIKE THIS?
          TO DIE ONE DAY JUST MEANS YOU’RE HUMAN!!!!
          THERE MAY BE NO SUCH THING AS NEVER DYING 
          THE DAYS WE LIVE MAY NOT BE WHAT WE WANT
          HELD TOGETHER BY A FRAIL AND BRITTLE THREAD,
          THE NEXT DAY WILL COME NO MATTER WHAT!
          
          -If I could become your heart
          
          (Note from count: yes I know the title sounds weird, but the way “heart” is written in Japanese, (心臓)literally means the organ. So basically the song is saying, “if I could be the thing that you depend on” or “if I could just be the reason you live on.”)

“I won’t come back anymore,” you say beginning to wake up from this dream.
          
          “Please don’t leave me behind!”
          
          This pitch black darkness doesn’t end; like the comet train will never stop
          Soon you’ll leave me be, and stay away forever
          Although these heart-pounding feelings of mine just won’t ever stop
          Once I let go of this hand of yours
          The comet will leave a tail behind 
          And move on, with the words I failed to say 
          Farther away into that pitch black summer sky...
