Lyrics
Intro
Verse
Back then, I was young and full of dreams
Chasing after a single love
Every day I pushed forward recklessly
Forgetting about her
Verse
People moved on, and so did I
Love flowed by, a fleeting smile
I still remember that smile from back then
Shining in my heart even now
Pre-Chorus
But sometimes, alone at night
I think about her
Even if my dreams were everything
There's a loneliness inside my heart
Chorus
Back then, I was shining
Giving everything for my dreams
Back then, I was straight and true
I still can't forget her smile
Interlude
Verse
She found someone else
And seems so happy
I’m alone, after my dreams
Just hearing the sound of my footsteps
Verse
Back then, and even now, it lingers in my heart
If we had been together
Life would be different now
But I don’t regret it
Pre-Chorus
Chasing after dreams
Always comes with loneliness
But that smile from that day
Still wraps around me
Chorus
Back then, I was shining
Giving everything for my dreams
Back then, I was straight and true
I still can't forget her smile
Interlude
Chorus
Back then, I was shining
Giving everything for my dreams
Back then, I was straight and true
I still can't forget her smile
Outro
Those dreams from back then, and her smile
Still remain in my heart
Finale
