Flavor of Life - Utada Hikaru

Arigatou to kimi ni iwareru to nandaka setsunai
When you say thank you to me, for some reason it hurts,
sayonara no ato no tokenu mahou awaku horonigai
Like a magic spell that doesn’t get undone even after the good bye. a hint of bitterness.
The flavor of life

tomodachi demo koibito demo nai chuukan chiten de
Stuck midpoint between friends and lovers,
shuukaku no hi wo yumemiteru aoi furu-tsu
like an un-riped fruit dreaming about the day of harvest
ato ippo ga fumidasenai sei de
because of being unable to just move one more step forward
jirettai no nan notte? baby~
what’s causing this frustration baby

When you say thank you to me, for some reason it hurts,

The flavor of life

amai dake no sasoi monku ajike no nai doku
Sweet talk and tasteless conversations.
sonna mono ni wa kyoumi wa sosorarenai
it sparks no interest in me
omoitoori ni ikanai toki datte
even when things do not go the way you want
jinsei suteta mon janai tte
it doesnt mean you’ve thrown your life away

doushita no? to kyuu ni kikareru to “uun. nandemo nai”
When asked ‘ whats wrong?’ I answer ‘its nothing’
sayounara no ato ni kieru egao watashi rashikunai
The smile that disappears after goodbye It’s unlike me
sinjitai to negaeba negau hodo nandaka setsunai
The more i wish to believe in you, For some reason it hurts even more
“aishiteru yo” yori mo “daisuki” no hou ga kimi rashii janai?
‘i like you a lot’ instead of ‘i love you’ sounds more like you

wasurekakete ita hito no omoi wo totsuzen omoidasu koro
the period when you suddenly remember the scent of someone you had almost forgotten
furitsumoru yuki no shirosa wo omou to sunao ni yorokobitai yo
I want to be able to openly and honestly cherish the white purity of the falling snow more

daiyamondo yorimo yawarakakute atatakana mirai
A future tender and warmer than a diamond
teni shitai yo kagiri aru jikan wo kimi to sugoshitai
i want to grasp it, in this limited time we have, i want to spend it with you
