Lyrics

Leave, I'm not gonna stop you (Stop you...)
But before you go, hurt me so I can forget you

Say it wasn't love, say I was a fool
Anything to tear me apart
Why do you care? Why do you smile?
Why are you holding me now?

Kiss, kiss, kiss
Kissing you one more time before...
You walk out that door
Wishing behind these lips, "Oh baby, please stay" (Please stay)

Letting go of me, looking at the street
Thought I could handle this moment
But your love was good, so, so-so good
And it's too much to lose

Miss, miss, miss
Missing you as you turn around
Walking out that door
My heart is crying out, "Oh baby, don't go" (Don't go)
No, I won't tell you so
Or that I love you, no...
I'm gonna let you go

Goodbye...

Song Production Information

beatmania

NAOKI

This song, which has a very ballad-like sound, was originally made for Dance Maniax 2ndMIX.
I came up with the song's motifs by playing the piano and singing along.
Also, out of all the songs in my HYPER EUROBEAT series, it's the only one that hadn't been in beatmania.
There's also an unreleased version sung by one of my mainstay vocalists.
There may be a day where I unveil it somewhere.

Dance Maniax

This is a standard Eurobeat number which has the flow of BROKEN MY HEART from the previous game. With the female vocalist's emotional singing and a danceable sound which makes you feel excited now, there's no doubt you'll keep dancing, even if you aren't a dance freak. After the sudden excitement in the chorus, the last "Good bye......" phrase in the ending is sad. To DMX dancers in love, by all means, please choose this song.

Character Information

None.

It's a great song, isn't it? I've loved it since I was in charge of its movie in beatmaniaTHEFINAL. Since it's cliché to draw kissing animations, I made animations of scattering hearts.

The hair-fluttering woman who debuted in the beatmania series also appears in DDR in a movie. To those who know this woman's name, you're a BEMANI expert! Wonderful!
