Lyrics

Game Size

wake up every single day
and drag a sleepy body

get on my formfitting shirt,jacket
and catch the same train and go to...

I repeat the same day over and over again
It's my usual day

only that big difference is 
you are not here...

The voice of us faded away.
and only left that faded things.

I know, always we have so many many things were
lost and got and lost and got
but inside me they are so all shining.

so I decided

never cry again and never look back
I do look where we're going

I bring this story to the end,
in the true sense,
this time,finally,

I came to this realization

never cry again and never look back
I do look where we're going, and walk tall with singing

It is my only first and...and really last thing for you
I say goodbye to us  in those days.

Good-bye.

Long Version

never look back... I bring this story... wake up single day and drag a sleepy body get on my formfitting shirt,jacket and catch the same train and go to... I repeat the same day so over and over again It's my usual day only that big difference is you are not here... The voice of us faded away. and only left faded things. I know, always we have so many many things were lost and got and lost and got but inside me how they are all so all shining. so I decided never cry again and never look back I look where we're going I bring this story to the end, in the true sense this time,finally, I came to this realization never cry again and never look back I look where we're going, and walk tall with singing It's my only first time... and really last thing for you I say good bye to us those days. good-bye. eat favorite dishes and wear so lovely clothes, enjoy chatting with my friends and going to the movie and shopping It's fun in a way, but something is lacking It's you, in a desperate struggle to pretend that didn't notice Though there was always together Though I thought feeling was same as so for some reason always felt so lonely think your sad smile of those days now I feel like understanding the reason a little so for the last never cry again and never look back stop idealizing those memories now will watch not the past, watch the future I know, I can think so now at last never cry again and never look back this time I want to come to like more myself so sun rise, new 1st begins again begin to walk with me who am new before right now
