Miho Fukuhara — Apologies (feat. sleepy.ab)
Lyrics
The raindrops that landed on my cheek ran slowly down my face, then fell with a soft plop into a small puddle.
That blue umbrella feels a little too small. The thing you left behind in the room blooms there in silence. By the time you reach the city, I hope the skies have cleared— because in my heart, it is pouring.
Hydrangeas sway in the wind, their colors fading once they are parted. I wonder if one day I’ll get used to you not being beside me.
This room where we spent our days together is being covered over with blue paint. From the very beginning, we knew we would wither someday, and still we smiled at each other.
By the time the rain stops, evening darkness wraps itself around me. In the patch of sky reflected in a puddle, I drift and tremble.
Words fall from a closed umbrella— things forgotten from the deepest part of my chest. As if I could draw a rainbow to reach you, I trace it from my heart with my fingertips.
The hydrangeas sway again, and on the road home, colors split and go their separate ways. That little habit of mine you used to laugh at— have you already forgotten it too?
The days we searched for together, like that blue paint, slowly dry away. And what overflowed only after the loss— I want to hold close the self you finally found.
