Lyric

A love that sneaks in, before I could even know

Deep inside my chest, the foxfires softly start to glow

Reflected in your eyes, her shadow takes its place

Leaving me behind, alone in this empty space

On the night I watched your back, knowing you wouldn't stay

The words I couldn't speak got tangled in my throat today

This unrequited love, the thoughts that couldn't blend

The more I try to hide them, the deeper they expand

This hidden heart of mine, these thoughts that leak and flow

Don't let the shades of jealousy stain my chest with woe

Putting on a fake smile, I pushed you from behind

Who will comfort me now, in the drifting wind I find?

Holding all the weakness that I cannot seem to stay

Every time I envy her, for being chosen today—

Into the crowded shadows, I drop a sigh, "Ah, me..."

A voiceless voice that leaves a fleeting legacy

Why does it start to burn my chest so late in time?

This late-blooming love, oh foolish heart of mine

Only as your shadow drifted further out of sight

I knew it passed a longing, and turned to love tonight

Sprouting all too late, confusing my mind so deep

This very love inside me is the jealousy I keep

If it had only stayed a longing from afar

I could have lived without the pain, without a single scar

"If only you had never bloomed," I blame my heart in vain

But the days we left behind will never turn again

Because I was so slow to realize the sign

I hold the bitter, regretful night in this chest of mine

Yet deep inside my soul, a faint and quiet sound

Is praying for your happiness, rising from the ground

Gently caressing the shadows of the envy I have borne

If I release it to the wind, it will scatter like the thorn

The profile of your face, the smile she shows to me

Both are far too bright, tearing my heart in three

By the time I finally knew, the road was closed to track

If I had never known this love, I wouldn’t have to look back

This hidden heart of mine, these thoughts that leak and flow

Don't let the shades of jealousy stain my chest with woe

Putting on a fake smile, I pushed you from behind

Who will comfort me now, in the drifting wind I find?

Holding all the weakness that I cannot seem to stay

Every time I envy her, for being chosen today—

Into the crowded shadows, I drop a sigh, "Ah, me..."

A voiceless voice that leaves a fleeting legacy

Entrusting to the wind a prayer for your joy to rise

Embracing all the pain beneath the open skies

Even if this late-blooming love scatters to the clay

A light will surely shine upon the road I walk today
