ENGLISH LYRICS:

If only you hadn't changed

Running my brush onto the canvas
I painted a picture of him
All along I can't meet with
This face in the corner of my memory anymore

Since when was it that
It had completely changed?
If you had been the way you were
Maybe this would have had a different conclusion
That's too late by now, huh?
-The you in the picture isn't around anymore

It's not that I liked your face
And yet this whole time I've continued painting
Before I knew it, this room was filled with your likeness

What I sought wasn't your face
But the real you as you were
But hey, neither you nor I
Was able to realize that

That burnt portrait
You said "I hate this face"
What was truly disgusting
Wasn't your face, surely...

With a foolish idea
I made fun of you
The next time I met you
You had become a different person
Yes, you were just like someone else
-The you in the picture isn't around anymore

Even if you were different from
What I remembered, if you were happy
I had thought perhaps it was okay, even so

It's not that changing is bad
But what you really needed
Was to accept yourself without changing, too
But you couldn't realize that

You continue to live
In these pictures I painted
Even if it's not the appearance
You had wished for
Yes, back then,
Those words you were trying to say in the end
Somehow I know what they were
I had known from long ago

Perhaps I did like you
So this whole time I've continued painting
Before I knew it, this room was filled with memories of you

What I sought wasn't your face
But the real you as you were
But hey, neither you nor I
Was able to realize that

TRIVIA:

The song's title is derived from its central character, Gumina Glassred, and the portraits she makes of Cherubim.

While commenting on the song, mothy cited that, while he didn't understand the psychology of a woman, being a man, he tried hard to do so, wanting to tell the story from the perspective of a "normal person".
