This song, the 8th track on Koi No Yokan, talks about trying to love or support someone who continues to hurt themself. The main character cant “stop what they began”, and feels like “gauze” trying to stop the metaphorical (or maybe literal) bleeding of the lover.
[Verse 1]
It's a mistake
But go ahead and take a side
But watch how you choose
Or be headed for a ride
'Cause I, I just don't know if I could
[Chorus]
I can't stop what you began
I can't fight for what you began
[Verse 2]
You've opened the gates
Now face the other side
Just go on, it's cool
Now head into the fire
Well, I, I just don't know if I could
[Chorus]
I can't stop what you began
Can't fight for what you began
I know what's in sight
For you again
[Verse 3]
Switch on your game
Stop wasting all your time
'Cause surprise, it's you
Who'll face what you decide
Well, I, I think I'd have known about you
[Chorus]
I can't stop what you began
Can't fight for what you began
I know what's in sight
I know your fate
I know I can't stop what you began
[Instrumental Outro]
