Like a habit, you always told me
That you’ll get me a small ring, a great birthday present
That you’ll do everything for me when time passes
That I should wait just a little bit more

I secretly counted the zeroes at the price tag of the shoes you wanted
1, 2, 3, the zeroes are endless
I let out a sigh and just put them down
The next day, I went to you with a letter
I was sorry but you cried, saying that this was enough
I couldn’t even properly celebrate your birthday
Every night you cried as I tucked you into bed and then I went home

* It was like that back then
I remember the song we listened to together while taking you home on the bus
It was like that back then
The street that we walked on as we tightly held hands
It makes me cry especially more today

Do you remember? Yes, I remember
Are also you saying “it was like that back then” with a smile?
Do you remember? Yes, I remember
Saying “it was like that back then” – back then, when I couldn’t do anything for you

I’m sorry, I was too young back then, I didn’t know anything (I didn’t know)
The ring I wanted to get you was so expensive
I couldn’t handle it so I couldn’t buy it for you
I was wrong for not getting you a present for our anniversary
I always only said, “spend sparingly”
So I always bitterly said I’d buy it for you later
We tried not to notice but the crack between us grew deeper

Countless memories of back then, to which we can never return
My lingering attachments remain since I couldn’t treat you well
Back then, I said things I didn’t mean because I felt bad
Now we can’t ever go back – don’t think about it baby

* Repeat

Excuse me
Back then, we held hands and ran in the rain without an umbrella
My clothes covered us rather than a blanket
But now, they are all memories – bye bye
