Suddenly, it felt as if it squeezed around me,
The scent of the wind, and negative what-ifs
Surely, it's because the pain from long ago,
Is trembling, in the depths of such ancient scars

I mean, what won't go away just won't go away
Painful things are painful, yeah
Without it ever healing, I seal it away with force,
And it hardened into scar tissue

To the pain I had closed off so long ago,
I snuggle up, trace it, follow it, and smile
With this uninterrupted rhythm,
I remember that melody

I sing of wanting to love, just like that, I sing to tomorrow
I won't face forward, but just so I can hand-wave it away,
Even now, it won't be settled, won't be cleaned up
A farewell with no answer
I can say that I looked back on it with a smile, so
It's surely, surely, just fine

As if they would disappear in a breath,
These fleeting expectations, and these unsolvable worries,
Surely, one by one, the feelings that have stacked up
Are wrapped up in an ancient scar, trembling in fear

I mean, what I can't erase won't be erased
And things that hurt definitely hurt, yeah
Without shedding a tear, I seal it away with force
And hid it with scar tissue

When I turn back, softly, I
Scatter my pain, dress it up, and smile
I'll connect this rhythm, 
With the melody that won't stop playing

I want to love, I sing, I want to love again, I sing
Even if I can't face forward, so that I don't go back,
It won't go away for now, the worries, or the what-ifs
Looking back with a smile, surely
I can cuddle up to it, closer
I can sing, forever

I want to love, I sing

I sing of wanting to love, just like that, I sing to tomorrow
I can't see what's ahead, but so I can take a step
Right now I've got nowhere to go, no sort of outlet
Just a farewell with no response
I can say that I looked back on it with a smile, so
It's surely, surely, just fine
