Anime OP Theme - Boku dake ga Inai Machi

I waited for you…
I waited,
And a relentless “tomorrow” passed me by.
Standing still, and looking behind,
I exchanged grief with an endless “today”.

I learned that even my memories,
Won’t remain forever.
I tore away at myself, on and on,
And sat crying in the corner of my heart…

Then I made excuses, saying,
“I hope nothing happens to you…” and,
“I regret those days spent under the overpass…”

There were times that I felt connected,
Gathering emotions I couldn’t unwind.
That was my everything –
And just now, I lost it all.

I learned that even form changes,
As time passes.
I tore away at myself, on and on,
Resenting the “today” I was being kept from…

Then I made excuses, saying,
“I hope nothing happens to you…” and,
“I regret those days spent under the overpass…”

I waited for you…
I waited,
And a relentless tomorrow passed me by.
Today, I’m tearing at myself again,
Inflicting wounds I can never forget…
‘Cause it has to be you.
