Even So Lyrics
you're gonna question whether you really know me at all
you will revisit every smile, and where it fit into the day
i know this is how it will play
and i try, oh i try to think of all the things
that i could do to let you know that i love you
i was not looking to do you wrong
was not looking for a change of scenery
don't remember where, or when, or how i did
but i'm hoping you'll forgive me
and i try, oh i try to think of all the things
that i could do to let you know that i love you
do you remember how we'd run in the summertime
and i cry, i cry so very much
for i love you like you'll never let yourself feel again
i love you like a brother and a friend
i love you with my whole heart until it bends
i love you like a lover until the very end
to let me know that you love me
but you're leaving
even so

this is The Song. it embodies everything i felt during a moment in my life.
it's about a girl or person who did something very harmful to their significant other. and because of it they lost that person. and they regret their action very much, and this song is explaining why they did it, even though there is no answer suitable enought for their other

Everything. I was that girl.

so am I. right at the moment.
in my personal opinion, the girl loves the boy too much. too deeply. she has done so many things to show him how much she loves him, but he didn't see. and if he did, he'd be scared.
I can't put it in words, but it's like an obsession. she can't stop showing her feelings and he doesn't see. doesn't want to see, maybe.

a couple of months later, but not I'm not wiser yet. could someone please tell me, why he refuses to see everything I've done?

i love this song. i love this, and quiet. i know exactly what yamagata is trying to get across. in both songs, yamagata is begging for forgiveness from a lover, looking back on what they had, and how she screwed it somehow. i've been through exactly that. she portrays both so perfectly.

I was the significant other. HE screwed it up. HE abandoned me.
...So why do I feel like it's my fault?
I, too, have a question. Is there any way to get over the love of your life after 128 days of being without him? Or am I doomed to this feeling of emptiness, of terrifying darkness, of.... well, depression?
Somebody help me. I don't want to be like this anymore.

How cliche this may sound, time will heal all wounds. Things will get better as time passes by, just need to focus on the good stuff that is around you. Like your friends & family.
Just love Yamagata's songs =)

I love the change of mood when she sings "do you remember how we used to run in the summertime?"
Just that feeling of nostalgic regret. Beautiful song.
