Flavor Of Life - Ballad Version

When you say "thank you" to me, somehow it feels painful
Even after goodbye, the spell remains unbroken, sweet and bittersweet
The flavor of life
The flavor of life

At the midpoint between friends and lovers
Dreaming of the harvest day, the unripe fruit

Unable to take that one last step
It's so irritating, baby

When you say "thank you" to me, somehow it feels painful
Even after goodbye, the spell remains unbroken, faint and bittersweet
The flavor of life
The flavor of life

Sweet-talking without any substance, a tasteless poison
Such things don't interest me at all

Even when things don't go as planned
Life isn't something you should throw away

When suddenly asked what's wrong, "Oh, it's nothing"
A smile that disappears after goodbye, that's not like me
The more I wish to believe, the more painful it somehow feels
Instead of "I love you," isn't "I really like you" more like you?
The flavor of life

The scent of someone I had almost forgotten suddenly comes back
I want to be happier about the pure white snow piling up

Softer than a diamond, a warm future
I want to have it, to spend my limited time with you
When you say "thank you" to me, somehow it feels painful
Even after goodbye, the spell remains unbroken, faint and bittersweet
