Utada Hikaru – Flavor Of Life (English Version) lyrics

Utada Hikaru – Flavor Of Life (English Version) lyrics

When you say thank you to me,
For some reason it hurts,
Like a magic spell
That doesn't get undone even after the good bye.
A hint of bitterness.
The flavor of life

Stuck in the midpoint between friends and lovers,
Like an un-riped fruit dreaming about the day of harvest
Because of being unable to move one more step forward
What's causing this frustration baby?

When you say thank you to me,
For some reason it hurts,
Like a magic spell
That doesn't get undone even after the good bye.
A hint of bitterness
The flavor of life

Sweet talk and tasteless conversations.
It sparks no interest in me
Even when things do not go the way you want
It doesn't mean you've thrown your life away

When asked 'What's wrong? '
I answer 'It's nothing'
The smile then disappears after goodbye
It's unlike me

The more I wish to believe in you,
For some reason it hurts even more
'i like you a lot' instead of 'i love you' sounds more like you
The flavor of life

The moment when you suddenly remember the scent of someone you had almost forgotten
I want to be able to openly and honestly cherish the white purity of the falling snow more

A future tender and warmer than a diamond
I want to grasp it, in this limited time we have, I want to spend it with you

When you say thank you to me,
For some reason it hurts,
Like a magic spell
That doesn't get undone even after the good bye.
A hint of bitterness
The flavor of life

Its about falling in love with your best friend and never being able to have the nerve to tell him till he is already gone with another woman. Being able to remember all the moments you had the chance to tell him what could of happend. It hurts to think you can't tell the moments he was with another girl that pains you. The moments you almost had. Eventually he will realize she is upset and when she never tells him he eventaully leaves.

When I heard of this song, it stings inside.
Because I just get over a relationship where I am in a situation I was hoping for something impossible.
We are not friends, not lover.
When we say thank you and goodbye it feel hurts and we choose to go on different path because of bad timing of life.
We still thinks about each other. We both admit that. But life isn't always going to go the way we want it.
So, separate is the best answer. I hope he is happy wherever he might be.

It is hana yori dango ost. If you watch this film you will know the feeling this song wanna show you. When Tsukushi says thank you, hanazawa rui replies that he doesn't want to hear thank you from her because all what he does is to make her happy. But the sadness is she can't love him back so all she can do for him is saying thank you for whatever he does: protect her, make her laugh, encourage her n love her.

I believe that this song does represent a couple that have recently broken up but they still miss/love each other. They arent really friends or lovers but something in between because there are still feelings for each other when they are now apart. They probably broke up due to the relationship is not working for them and causes frustration for each other. In the end, when they say thank you to each other, they want to thank each other for being part of their life.

For me this song is about couple that just broke up but still in love with each other. Maybe they broke up because of the situation that makes them have to be separated. They say "thanks" to each other even though they want to say a lot much but they can only say "thanks" to cover up the situation. That's why they become undone. Because "thanks" can reprensent their truly feeling about each other.
