* "arigatou" to kimi ni iwareru to nanda ka setsunai
"sayounara" no ato mo tokenu mahou awaku horonigai
The flavor of life the flavor of life

tomodachi demo koibito demo nai chuukanchiten de
shuukaku no hi wo yume miteru aoi furuutsu

ato ippo ga fumidasenai sei de
jirettai no nan no tte baby

*repeat

amai dake no sasoi monku ajike no nai tooku
sonna mono ni wa kyoumi mo sosorarenai

omoidoori ni ikanai toki datte
jinsei suteta mon janai tte

"doushita no?" to kyuu ni kikareru to "uun, nandemo nai"
"sayounara" no ato ni kieru mahou watashirakunai

shinjitai to negaeba negau hodo nanda ka setsunai
"aishiteru yo" yori mo "daisuki" no hou ga kimi rashiin janai
The flavor of life

wasurekaketeita hito no kaori wo totsuzen omoidasu koro
furitsumoru yuki no shirosa wo motto sunao ni yorokobitai yo

daiamondo yori mo yawarakakute atataka na mirai
te ni s___ai yo kagiri aru jikan wo kimi to sugoshitai

When you say thank you to me,
for some reason it hurts,
Like a magic spell that doesn't
get undone even after the good bye.
a hint of bitterness.
The flavor of life

Stuck midpoint between friends and lovers,
like an un-riped fruit dreaming about the day of harvest
because of being unable to just move one more step forward
what's causing this frustration baby

When you say thank you to me,
for some reason it hurts,
Like a magic spell that doesn't
get undone even after the good bye.
a hint of bitterness
The flavor of life

Sweet talk and tasteless conversations.
it sparks no interest in me
even when things do not go the way you want
it doesnt mean you've thrown your life away

When asked ' whats wrong?'
I answer 'its nothing'
The smile that disappears after goodbye
It's unlike me
The more i wish to believe in you,
For some reason it hurts even more
'i like you a lot' instead of 'i love you' sounds more like you
the flavor of life
the period when you suddenly remember the scent of someone you had almost forgotten
I want to be able to openly and honestly cherish the white purity of the falling snow more
A future tender and warmer than a diamond
i want to grasp it, in this limited time we have, i want to spend it with you
when you say thank you to me,
for some reason it hurts,
Like a magic spell that doesnt
get undone even after the good bye.
a hint of bitterness
The flavor of life
