Even if I bore all the hatred in the world,
If you held me close,
I would have bargained away even my pleading soul.
I should thank God,
For that never happened.
You, whom I once believed was my future,
Are now just a part of my past.

If, by chance, as I walk along,
I think of you, it’s just a coincidence,
Nothing more than that.
Don’t laugh, it just happens sometimes—
The future we once used to wonder about,
So different from this night.

We promised we’d face anything together, didn’t we?
But I guess “goodbye” was the exception there.
Now, an inch of distance becomes a memory, just an inch long,
And this song has somehow become our story.
You and I remain, just a short sentence now,
With some tears and a few sleepless nights.

If, by chance, as I walk along,
I think of you, it’s just a coincidence,
Nothing more than that.
Don’t laugh, it just happens sometimes—
The future we once used to wonder about,
So different from this night.

If I knew it would turn out this way, would I still be swayed
By that warm smile if I could go back?
I’m relieved,
Because all that pain is now a powerless past.
Though it sounds like a lie, this is still unmistakably our story.

If, someday, as I go on,
I think of you, it’s just a coincidence,
Nothing more than that.
I wonder if you feel the same when it happens.
The future we once used to wonder about,
So different from this night,

This night, so far from what we’d expected.
