It's Too Late

Lyrics: Kumi Koda
Composition: Tetsurou Oda

I wonder how much time has passed since then?
I'm sure the memories of us will never disappear...

I don't want to believe it, now or ever
Were we too close?
It hurts so much
when you're not here...

And it's after we parted that I understand that
Loneliness had made me cold
to the tips of my fingers
Once more, bring back those days
I understand in my body
that in me's only you
But now it's too late
I should've said it over and over...
"I love you..."

I wonder why is everything turning into ashes?
But the memories of us will remain

Feelings that can't heal start to overflow
unable to be held down
The fragments you left behind
stick to my heart...

While trembling, I extended my hand
I repeatedly called your name
to your closed eyes
Gaze at me once more
I keep shouting in my heart:
"Don't leave me alone!"
But now it's too late
I should've vowed forever...
"I love you..."

The promise that I made to you that day
was not a lie
I still live in your heart
I love you, babe

You scolded me for being selfish,
You wrapped me up
in tenderness
Give me a sweet kiss once more
You took a trip you'll never return from
I didn't even say "Goodbye..."
But now it's too late
I should've said it over and over...
"I love you..."
"I love you..."
"I love you..."

It's too late

Are kara dore hodo no toki ga tatta no deshou ka?
Kitto futari no omoidetachi wa kienai mama deshou...

Shinjitaku wa nai no ima mo zutto
Chikasugita no kana?
Anata ga inai to konna
Setsunai tte koto wo...

Hanarete kara wakaru tte koto
Yubi no saki made
Sabishisa de tsumetaku natta
Mou ichido ano hi ni modoshite
Watashi no naka anata dake tte
Karada de wakatta no
Dakedo mou ososugita ne
Nandomo ieba yokatta...
"Aishiteru..."

Subete ga naze hai ni natte shimau no deshou ka?
Demo futari no omoidetachi wa nokotta mama deshou

Iyasenai kimochi afuredasu
Kakaekirenu hodo
Anata ga nokoshita kakera wa
Kokoro ni tsukisasaru...

Furuenagara te wo nobashita no
Tojita hitomi ni
Kurikaeshi namae wo yonda
Mou ichido watashi wo mitsumete
Mune no naka de sakebitsuzukeru
"Hitori ni shinai de!" to
Dakedo mou ososugita ne
Towa ni chikaeba yokatta...
"Aishiteru..."

Wagamama da to shikatte kureta
Konna watashi wo
Yasashisa de tsutsunde kureta
Mou ichido amai kisu wo shite
Kaeru koto no nai tabi ni deta
"Sayonara..." mo iwazu ni
Dakedo mo ososugita ne
Nandomo ieba yokatta...
"Aishiteru..."
"Aishiteru..."
"Aishiteru..."

It's too late
