Yasashii Kioku

Gentle Memories

Yasashii Kioku

by the narrow schoolyard fencesemai koutei no fensu no waki
what was the name of that blooming flower again?saiteta hana no namae nante itta kke?
everyone's clueless, so I looked it upminna shiranakute shirabeta nda
it was tucked away in my plant encyclopediaboku no shokubutsu zukan katasumi ni notteta

I think forgetting is pretty convenientwasureru koto tte benri da to omou
like someone from my pastkurasumeito no dareka made
just vanished into thin airdokoka ni kiete shimatta yo

gentle memories are just a fleeting thingyasashii kioku nante ayafuya de
won't hurt me more than thiskore ijou boku no koto kizutsuke wa shinai
sadness is just a misunderstandingkanashii koto wa kitto kanchigai
I just believed what people told mehito ni kiita no o shinjikonda dake
it's fine if things stay as they areowatta koto nanka owatta mama de ii yo

in the summer classroom, under the sunlightnatsu no kyoushitsu no hizashi no naka
I always stole glances at you by the windowmadogiwa no kimi no koto itsumo nusumimita
couldn't say a word, then autumn camenanimo iidasezu aki ni natte
and soon the flowers in my heart wilted tooyagate kokoro no hana mo karete shimatta yo

I guess the reason I don't rememberoboetenai no wa kanashii kara darou
is because it’s too sadsugita tsukihi no omoiyari
I hate who I was back thenano hi no jibun wa kirai da

somewhere, my true memories are hazyhonto no kioku dokoka bonyari to
protected by a bittersweet beersetsunai beiru de mamotte kureteru
what does truth even matter anyway?shinjitsu nante dou datte ii koto nano ka?
people tend to judge the pasthito wa sou kako o bika shite shimau yo
the future is always there to be taken lightlymirai wa itsu datte uwagaki no tame ni aru

gentle memories are just a fleeting thingyasashii kioku nante ayafuya de
won't hurt me more than thiskore ijou boku no koto kizutsuke wa shinai
there are important things that if I look back ondaiji na koto wa aru hi furimukeba
I only remember for a brief momenthonno isshun dake omoidasu mono sa
I know that things that don’t matter are nowhere to be found.dou demo ii koto nanka doko ni mo nai to shitta
