The flavor of life (complement)

As a complement to my post earlier, here's a song by my idol... And the lyrics... It was just so perfect for this moment... Hope you enjoy it.

The Flavor of life

Lyrics
(from http://www.kiwi-musume.com/lyrics/hikki/heartstation/flavouroflife.html)
Whenever you tell me thank you 
It's somehow bittersweet 
The spell doesn't break after you say goodbye 
Faintly bitter 
The flavor of life 

We're in the middle, neither friends nor lovers 
Green fruit dreaming of the harvest 

We can't take that one last step 
So it's so irritating or something, baby 

Whenever you tell me thank you 
It's somehow bittersweet 
The spell doesn't break after goodbye 
Faintly bitter 
The flavor of life 

Sweet words of seduction 
Flavorless talk 
That doesn't pique my interest 

Even when things don't go your way 
Life's not a total wash 

"What's up?" you suddenly ask 
No, it's nothing 
My smile disappears after you say goodbye 
It's not like me 

The more I want to believe 
It's somehow bittersweet 
Don't you think "I really like you" 
Suits you better than "I love you"? 
The flavor of life 

I suddenly remember 
The scent of a person I'd almost forgotten 
I want to be able to just sit back and enjoy 
The white snow fall 

I want a warm future 
Softer than a diamond 
I want to spend this limited time we have with you 

Whenever you tell me thank you 
It's somehow bittersweet 
The spell doesn't break after you say goodbye 
Faintly bitter 
The flavor of life
