Konna ni mo setsunai nante shoujiki souzou shinakatta yo

Atarimae no basho ga kako ni naru kimi to hajimete deatta
Arifureta deai kiseki ni naru

Kono kyoushitsu mo ano rokkaa mo kimi no egao mo...

Kyou de saigo no houkago ni atashi kara tsutaeru yo atashi kara tsutaeru yo

English

I knew from the beginning that one day I would leave this place
But before I know it, my three years of memories are blurred by tears

Our past selves worked towards this day
But I truly never imagined that it would be so bittersweet

The place I took for granted is now the past
The first time I met you, that ordinary encounter, is a miracle

This classroom, and that locker, and your smile...

Tell me something, I can’t say anything...
I’ve been following your back with my eyes for a while

I knew you hadn’t noticed me
But since it’s our last afterschool today, I’ll be strong

For some reason I could never throw away that message from you
I still keep it with care now, it’s my talisman

The words you scrawled on the corner of the small piece of notepaper
Have always saved me, right up to this day

I happened to catch sight of you that day, at the sunset-tinted bus stop
I stood still, unable to call out to you

In that moment, that one moment, my heart burst

I’ll tell you, since we’ll never meet here again...
I always wanted you to know the answer, every day

I prayed that you would notice me
But it didn’t come true at all, and my heart ached

I’ll tell you now, please don’t dodge the subject
The truth is, I’ve always, always loved you

I still don’t even know what I’m going to say
But since it’s our last afterschool today, I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you
