[Verse]
Before long, you ran to where I was
Soon after, you greeted me with a bright, beaming face
Before long, we sat by the lake of the night
Soon after, we exchanged and shared each other’s hearts
[Pre-Chorus]
What should we do today?
Time passes by so cruelly fast
Spending every day together
Caught in the illusion that happiness would last forever — that mirage
[Chorus]
The songs that brightly adorned the darkness
The eyes that turned the cold into a warm red hue
The water mist that softly rises and blooms
Before long
[Pre-Chorus]
Laughing so loudly at trivial, mundane stories
Drawing pictures of us together in a distant future
Those lies
[Chorus]
The tender hands, unable to catch the setting sun
The warm embrace that tried to capture the fleeting moment
The snake that softly coils around my ankles
Before long
[Outro]
Before long, I go back to the place where I was with you
Before long, I chew and swallow the meal we once shared, now on my own
Before long, I stare at the traces of a cruel season
Before long, buried in flower petals, I greet spring alone
