Lyrics:
How I wish this tired tragedy was just a fading dream
Even now wrapped in the darkness you’re the light calling to me
Dusting off the happy memories a feeling comes to mind
Like returning to a better time when I had called you mine
It was you who taught me many things and helped me on my way
There’re joys here in this wide world that could never be replaced
All the pain that I had hid away and buried out of sight
It was only by your gentle touch they ever came to light
Never more could I feel pain
Any more than I did that day
Round and round I’m just stuck in place I can’t get away
Even all the tears that we were shedding
Even all the pain I try forgetting
I could bear it all if I was with you it won’t matter where we are
Even now I still can smell that bitter sweetened scent of lemon on my heart
Couldn’t take a single step until the clouds and rain had part
To this day I’ve never changed you are my only shining star
In the dark I closed my eyes and drew the “you” I used to know
I recall every emotion even here all on my own
But there’s still a looming agony at times I just can’t fight
I’m alone painting a ghost that leaves me crying through the night
Tell me what did you do today?
What was making you look that way?
Never once had I seen your face so covered in pain
If beyond the raining you are waiting
Reaching for a light that’s gone and fading
If the lonely tears are only burning and are smothering your heart
Won’t you just forget the fool that’s searching so he could hold you in his arms
And I pray that you could keep on walking no matter where you are
To this day I’ve never changed you are my only shining star
More than I had ever knew
I was so in love with you
Since that time I can’t undo
Taking breath just hurts me too
Even now I sometimes think it’s strange
Just how long we spent that way
But I swear I won’t forget those days
In my heart they’ll always remain
Even all the tears that we were shedding
Even all the pain I try forgetting
I could bear it all if I was with you it won’t matter where we are
Even now I still can smell that bitter sweetened scent of lemon on my heart
Couldn’t take a single step until the clouds and rain had part
Like a single sour fruit we shared together in the dark
To this day my love remains you are my only shining star

This cover is SO underrated, I mean this is probably the best 'Lemon' cover i've heard so far!! The vocal, the guitar, but really the thing that get me the most is those LYRICS! even though it's not 100% similar to the original it's still has the feels of the original! BRAVO Will!! This cover deserve more views and likes!

[@wahyutrijayanto4687]

I think you right about it. This cover was so good

[@dv7551]

Yes, I think this perfectly exemplifies how you can stray a little further from the direct translation, but capture the exact emotions the original lyrics have

[@calebtheshark5650]

**JubyPhonic has joined the chat**

[@punkgrl325]

The lyrics are like 99% similar to the original. They are really damn good if you understand both English and Japanese.

[@quantifiedamalgamation]

To this day, I still think that this one video encompasses all the talent you have, all the work you put into your covers, and how well it pays off in the end. In my opinion, this is the best video on your channel, and the fact that you dont get enough recognition for these beautiful renditions should be a crime, lol.

[@miststixz]

I know this was a year ago but this still needs attention, this is just perfection in so many ways-

[@miruo_belle]

This is hands down... the best cover I have ever heard of this song. Heck, one of my top covers of ALL TIME. This is so beautiful??? Your voice is amazing??? The freaking music, video, and YOU are just perfect. Like,,, this deserves 1 Mil views. I am not joking. Please, someone give Will more love and attention like he deserves. :(((

[@smoldom7028]

When I first listened to this and listened to the lyrics I broke down and collapsed, since the story is scarily similar to what's been happening for the past 13 weeks for me. But now I listen to it and feel slightly motivated. I will reunite with my loved one soon...

[@QuiteDemistrious]

For you two, I hope you sincerely do.

Your cover makes me really *feel* the song. I dunno if that really makes sense. I really like this, thank you. :)

I like the way you translated the lyrics. It isn’t a direct translation but because of that the words can be twisted to have so much more impact. Lovely cover and guitar work, is this on Spotify or ITunes?

damnnn the tone of the real song to this english cover still remain intact with the rhymes and its meaning

[@YamiAura]

This is a song I keep coming back to only more and more often after losing my husband a few years ago. I'm happy now, and have new people in my life, but no one can ever fit the exact groove in your soul that a person is. It will always be there, and it's good that it is, I think.

[@ニジイロ-y4k]

😢

@@ニジイロ-y4k I can make it worse. Our honeymoon meal had a lemon cake dessert and we ate the same slice during a power outage. So that last line near the end is laserfocused at me personally lol.

Been a fan ever since the good ol zenzenzence says and this is by far my fav cover you've ever done. I listen to it every morning in my campuses lounge and get people sitting close by and listening. Even had a few asked for your name. Hope to be listening for years to come!

[@stateminuteofprocrastinati5654]

Thank you so much for this! I loved every second of it. This is the best english cover of Lemon I've heard. The lyrics, the voice, the video, how the syllables match with every note and fit- it's perfect.

[@アイネクライネナハトムジーク-f3n]

夢ならばどれほどよかったでしょう If only this were just a dream 未だにあなたのことを夢に見る Dream about you I still have 忘れた物を取りに帰るように 古びた思い出の埃を払う Brushing off dust of my old memories just like coming back to pick up something left behind 戻らない幸せがあることを 最後にあなたは教えてくれた You taught me at last there is such happiness as couldn't be restored 言えずに隠してた昏い過去も あなたがいなきゃ永遠に昏いまま Without you, my murky past I have kept from you will forever be kept in the dark もうこれ以上　傷つくことなど ありはしないとわかっている I know I won't get hurt any more あの日の悲しみさえ　あの日の苦しみさえ その全てを愛してた　あなたとともに Together with you, I used to love anything and everything Even grief and pain in bygone days 胸に残り離れない　苦いレモンの匂い Smell of a bitter lemon won't go away from my heart 雨が止むまでは　帰れない I cannot go home until the rain stops 今でもあなたは　わたしの光 Even now, you are still being my light 暗闇であなたの背をなぞった その輪郭を鮮明に覚えている I still clearly remember the contour of your back I traced in the darkness 受け止めきれないものと出会うたび 溢れてやまないのは涙だけ I just cannot help but shed tears whenever I face something I cannot accept 何をしていたの　何を見ていたの わたしの知らない横顔で What were you doing What were you seeing At the other side of your face I have not seen before どこかであなたが今　わたしと同じ様な 涙に暮れ　淋しさの中にいるなら わたしのことなどどうか　忘れてください Should you still be in tears and loneliness just like I am, I do implore you to wash my memory away そんなことを心から願うほどに 今でもあなたはわたしの光 As much as I wish you to forget me Even now, you are still being my light 自分が思うより 恋をしていたあなたに It seems I loved you more than I had thought あれから思うように　 息ができない I haven't been able to breathe well since then あんなに側にいたのに まるで嘘みたい It is hard to believe that we have been so close とても忘れられない それだけが確か One clear fact is that I won't be able to forget you あの日の悲しみさえ　あの日の苦しみさえ その全てを愛してた　あなたとともに Together with you, I used to love anything and everything even grief and pain in bygone days 胸に残り離れない　苦いレモンの匂い Smell of a bitter lemon won't go away from my heart 雨が止むまでは　帰れない I cannot go home until the rain stops 切り分けた果実の片方の様に 今でもあなたはわたしの光 Even now, you are still being my light Just like the other half of the cut fruit
