Tokyo Girls' Style - Dear Friend Lyrics Translation

After forcing myself a little to smile
I ended up crying
These three years really went by in a flash
Whenever I was caught up in worries you'd be there to hug me
Your face was always by my side

Bursting out laughing at our inside jokes
We can't go back to those times anymore

From tomorrow on we'll be walking different paths
I don't want to look back on this in shame
No one's able to go on living in solitude
You're the one who taught me I could be that strong
Dear friend

The blackboard we scribbled on, the dusty grounds
After tomorrow it'll all be a memory
Even when we got new seats and I was far from you
I got too wrapped up in your words

Looking up at the same old trees along my bus route
Muttering to myself, "Today's the last time I'll see this."

I'm stepping onto a path I chose for myself
You told me it was okay as you pushed me from behind
All the memories of the time we spent together here
Will go on to become my treasures
Dear friend

The melody I was humming overlapped softly
Our harmony swung through the wind

From tomorrow on we'll be walking different paths
I don't want to look back on this in shame
No one's able to go on living in solitude
You're the one who taught me I could be that strong
Dear friend

It's a generic graduation song in terms of lyrics but I like it. Makes me think of a more juvenile Especia. Now that I'm not going to high school anymore I can appreciate these kind of songs more...kind of.
