Lyrics

oreta awai tsubasa kimi wa sukoshi aosugiru sora ni tsukareta dake sa
mou dareka no tame janakute jibun no tame ni waratte ii yo

izen to shite shinobiyoru kodoku uchigawa ni tomoru roosoku
nigiwau paatii gouka na shanderia to wa urahara ni
tarinai kotoba no kubomi wo nande umetara iin darou
mou wakaranai ya

semete yume no naka de jiyuu ni oyogetara anna sora mo iranai no ni
kinou made no koto wo nuritsubusanakute mo asu ni mukaeru no ni

oreta awai tsubasa kimi wa sukoshi aosugiru sora ni tsukareta dake sa
mou dareka no tame janakute jibun no tame ni waratte ii yo

rettoukan to no wakai wa kantan ni wa kanawanai sa
jiishiki no teppen ni isuwaru kagami ga utsusu hanabira
furishiboru you ni yogoreta ai wo sakende miru keredo
modokashikute

meguru toki no naka de kizuguchi wa yagate kasabuta ni kawatte yuku
kimi wa sore wo matazu totemo utsukushiku totemo hakanage de...

hagareochita ato no ubuge no you ni hidamari no naka de furueru inori
ima wa muri ni dareka no koto wo aisou to omowanakute ii no ni

toki ni kono sekai wa ue wo muite aruku ni wa sukoshi mabushisugiru ne
shizumu you ni me wo fuseru to kawaita jimen ga namida wo susuru

Why do we feel so alone anytime?
subete wo uketomenakute mo ii yo
Why do we feel so alone anytime?
koraeru koto dake ga yuuki janai

English Translation

Broken pale wings You're just shattered by the sky too blue
It's about time you can smile not for someone but for yourself

Still, loneliness is creeping A candle lights up inside you
While the party is a blast with extravagant chandeliers
how can I fill the hollow of the lack of words?
I don't know anymore

If only I could swim freely in my dream I wouldn't need that sky
I wouldn't have to paint out my yesterdays

Broken pale wings You're just shattered by the sky too blue
It's about time you can smile not for someone but for yourself

Making peace with my sense of inferiority is not easy to achieve
The top of my ego is grippled by a mirror which shows petals of a flower
With every ounce of strength I shout out tainted love
but it's frustrating

In the cycle of time A wound will eventually turn into a scab
You don't wait for it So beautiful and so fragile…

Like pieces of hair of a peeling scar I say a trembled prayer in a sunny spot
At this time, you don't have to try hard to love someone

Sometimes this world is too bright  to walk with your head up
As you gaze down as if you're sinking, the dry earth soaks up tears

Why do we feel so alone anytime?  
You don't have to accept everything
Why do we feel so alone anytime? 
Courage is not only to hold yourself back
