Thanks tokyoxjapanxfan!!! ^^

tenshi, kudos for doing such a great job with the transcription in the first place. I never have enough confidence to do that.

After all, we’re not done yet

"Datte" is "because".
And when a person is subject, "owatte iru" means like "mou dame da". This is the recent use of "owaru", especially used by young people. So this meaning may not be in a dictionary. But actually, I'm not sure myself which translation would be the best for "mada owatte nai"-- "We are not yet finished up", "we are not yet broken up" or "We are not yet over".

Do you know the expression "be done for"? It means something along the lines of "have no hope of success", "be doomed". I think "We're not done for yet" might work as a translation.

I don't know the phrase "be done for". But if it has such a meaning, I think it's OK.

Funny how there's so many dark songs on an album called "Party Queen"....

^^Right? But that's pretty typical of ayu. Lol

i really love how the melody fits the first phrase perfectly <3 the poprock songs in this album are really great!!! really reminds me why i love ayu in the first place <3 <3 <3

^^I agree! I think there's just a TAD too much engrish, but it's all good.

Everyone has one or two things they wish to forget
But we can’t forget them
Because those things are a pain we mustn’t forget

so true
