HIMEHINA - flowing life 流れ行く命 (English Translation)
[Verse 1]
Dear yesterday's me
Are you still in naive belief
You won't be heartlessly abandoned?
You've yet to realize all beings have fleeting life

(Born into this world and celebrated, hoisted up then suddenly losing everything)
Where are you going?
(Spurned and played with, then abandoned where lights begin to flicker on)
Why even let love sprout, when only abandonment awaits

[Chorus]
Had I known my life will flow like this, I wish I had never been born
A deceived mind, a devoured body, but even so
I want to live, I want to live
"Don't pretend as if I never existed"
Is the value of a forgotten life
Light enough to flow away?

[Verse 2]
People often preach
Together forever, like words of love and protection
But the next day, with a sudden turn about, saying you're fed up, don't show your face again
Despite knowing well I've nowhere else to go

Aah
I long to be wanted
Please, anybody
I want to be held tight
[Chorus]
Had I known my life will flow like this, I wish I had never been born
Tears gone dry, dripping with blood, but even so
Even if I force a smile saying I must live on
"What for?", the world whispers
If the forgotten you is not around
It's nothing more than just withered flower offerings

[Bridge]
I miss you
I miss you

The past mistakes and pain long sealed within the heart
I'll take it all in
Just hearing "I've missed you", I've finally realized
You are my everything

[Chorus]
Even if life flows like this, I'm thankful for being given life
A deceived mind, a devoured body, but even so
I want to live, I want to live
"Can I stay here forever?"
Beyond the ending of a forgotten life
If it's within your heart
It might not be so bad to flow away
