[Verse 1]
How do I say goodbye
はやすぎるわかれに
こころがついていけない
ひとりであるいてゆくじしんなんてない
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday
Yesterday, yesterday

[Verse 2]
さいごのかいわをおもいだす
”つよくいきなさいひとりじゃないからこわれそうなときわ
むねのなかをみてそこにわたしわいるから”、おおｈ
じゅうねんにじゅうねんごも
いまみたいにせんめいにあなたをあいしつずける

[Verse 3]
And I'll take with me the memories
To be my sunshine after the rain, oh yeah
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday
Yesterday, yesterday
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday
Mmm
