Lyric

On the wet asphalt

The traffic lights blur

As they keep flashing on and off

The 2 a.m. air

Is sharp enough to cut through skin

And I let out a dry laugh

At the fact I ran out barefoot

I used to think

The word “boredom” didn’t exist for us—

But that was just an illusion…

The pounding rain

Mocks me, saying I’m such a fool

I know—of course I know

That’s why I can’t hate you

Words are always blades

And even when you cut me and laugh

I still can’t hate you

Pathetic, right…? Because I fell for you

Shadows sway beneath the streetlights

And your voice still echoes

At the corner of the intersection

Only my heart comes to a stop

With freezing fingertips

I crushed the promise we made

Your smile flickers in my mind

And my chest tightens again

I used to think

The word “forever” was too heavy for us—

But now it’s the one thing I want…

The pounding rain

Pierces deep into my heart

I know—it's ridiculous

Even so, I keep chasing you

Words are always sharpened blades

And the shadow of you that cuts me and laughs—

I hate it, yet I love you still

Hopeless, isn’t it…? Because I care for you

If this rain would stop

Maybe it could wash away your lies too

With my heart still drenched

I find myself waiting for you again

No matter how hurt I get

No matter how broken I become

I still want to scream your name

The pounding rain

Laughs at my weakness

I know—it’s all pointless

Even so, I can’t let you go

Words are always poison

And your smile sticks in me, refusing to leave

I hate you, yet I can’t hate you

Pathetic… because I’ve come to love you

On the wet asphalt

My heart begins to blur and fade

Under the 2 a.m. sky

I chase the ghost of you

Hopeless, isn’t it…? Because I love you
