Farewell to Tenderness (Yasashisa Sayonara)

 Originally Sung by Mari Ijima as Lynn Minmay
Insert Song for SDF Macross



Deep in my chest there's an ache, like a draft on a windy day
Although we fought and made many mistakes
Through it all, you gave me so much kindness and grace
That is why I had to leave you, I can't bear to see your face!

Without a word, I ran away then
bolting from your empty room
Wandering through all the streets to the station stop
Only then did I finally get it...

All of the kindness that you showed
wasn't weakness, but a strength that grows
It's been so long, so you changed, and I've done the same;
that is why I had to say goodbye...

***

Floating by in a haze is the boredom of these passing days
Feeling my heart drifting further away
Couldn't you see it? Everyday we were together was the same
Though I once used to love it, now it's something I hate

Once I am gone, is it different?
Sitting at home all alone by yourself?
Let this be a new page in the book of life
This is it, I won't turn back to previous chapters

All of the kindness you gave
I return it to where it came
Now that our past has been erased, it's a past we can't change
So I said: "Don't hold me back no longer..."
