Thank U (English Translation) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hey, you
Do you sometimes feel empty?
We used to walk at the same pace as the four seasons
I feel lonely
Right here
I see dust piled up on my precious doll
I whispered in its embrace that’s still warm
Goodbye, buddy
[Pre-Chorus]
I put my regrets behind me
Now I know how to empty these feelings
Without having to cry like before
I guess I should give my thanks to you
So
[Chorus]
Thank you (Thank you)
I tell myself from yesterday, thank you (Thank you)
I’ve already overcome the overwhelmingly painful growing pains
I went through, I’m good
So I guess that I should say
Thank you (Thank you)
To keep ourselves whole, I’m supposed to (Supposed to)
I can see it because I’m serious
The current me exists thanks to you
That smile, tear, and every moment of my life
Thank you
[Verse 2]
I’m good (I’m good)
Every trivial moment we experienced together
You don’t even need to say anything else, I could
Oh, I could tell just by the way you’re looking at me
I used to be the only one who mattered for me
But now I’m slowly filling my heart up with other things
My world’s getting colorful
I guess I should give my thanks to you
So
[Chorus]
Thank you (Thank you)
I tell myself from yesterday, thank you (Thank you)
I’ve already overcome the overwhelmingly painful growing pains
I went through, I’m good
So I guess that I should say
Thank you (Thank you)
I even want to embrace the days when I used to think
I was all alone
You can feel later, my heart full of affection
That smile, tear, and every moment of my life
Thank you (Thank you)
[Bridge]
Thanks to me (Thank you)
Thanks for all the pain
Thanks for all your trust
Thanks for all our growth
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Outro]
Hope you’ll cherish the six of us forever (Thank you)
So, oh
All thanks to you
