Sure!

My translated version:

Spoiler:

It's more freely translated than Misa-chan's version.

woww....

This song's lyric is so deep....

Thanks for the translation Misa-Chan & Tenshi no hane

This song is totally about Mannie...It's so sad.

Thanks for the translation! I love this heartfelt lyrics, almost cry when I am reading it.

Thank you, amazing lyrics and it seems that it's really what she's feeling now.

Thanks for the lyrics.. such sad lyrics..

her rawest lyrics.. ever since.. A Song For xx, walking proud..? how beautiful

This song kinda reminds me of appears in lyrics wise. That song has a little bit similar lyrics. I can also see that this song is definitely about Mannie. What really makes me think this way are those mentions of "jokes" and "know-it-all faces of his or hers". It just reminds me of all that drama this relationship created back then and after the divorce.

I think that I started to love this song even more now after this translation. I want more. <3

The lyrics reek of Manuel Schwarz. Great stuff.

I love the emotion in these lyrics. Thanks so much for the translations.

Yea, the last line of the chorus is almost a refrain of appears, though the context is the complete opposite. And it is saddening to know that ayu knows how almost everyone felt her marriage was a joke/publicity stunt.

And thanks for your translation tenshi, I love how you wrote it out like it's a letter to someone. :D

Well the PV does have a picture of them at the end on the ground, so it's hard to not think it's about them.

People read "The song isn't really a sequel to Virgin Road" or something as "The song isn't related to her divorce."

In fact, I think a lot of the songs on the album are directly related to her marriage and what she and Mannie had together.

Exactly. This is DEFINITELY about the divorce but it's not a Virgin Road sequel. Incidentally, she is dressed like a mourning bride in the video.

Oh goodness, these lyrics, along with the PV, reflect my current position so well. As always, she perfectly captures strong emotions like these. Beautiful.

^ I understand :( "fated" did that for me years back... it's the song that got me listening to her again, and even when I hear it now my heart always twinges.

These are such raw lyrics.

Thanks!
