Lyrics

kimi ga boku ni misete kureta
sekai wa totemo kirei datta na

shoka no sukima ni sumau
ichirin no hana wa
boku ni wa todokanu sonzai de
kotoba no oku ni sumau
honne no tane wa mou
hinome mo abizu ni karete ita

mawari to kurabete wa mata
jiko keno ochiteku
kowaku narun da sore demo
kimi no subete ni
sukuwarete

kimi ga boku ni misete kureta
sekai wa totemo kirei datta na
marude boku ga boku janaku natte iku
sonna hibi mo dokoka itooshikute
mata kimi ni koi wo shiru

kimi no tonari de wa
naze da ka mae yori
iki ga raku ni omoerun da
sasai na fuan mo
takanaru kodou mo
boku wo hashiraseru mahou da

kimi ga boku ni misete kureta
sekai wa totemo kirei datta na
marude boku ga boku janaku natte iku
sonna hibi mo dokoka itooshikute

butsukerun da boku no subete wo kimi ni

“karappo de yowai jibun kara me wo somuke
mitai mono dake wo mite ita ano koro
boku wa jibun wo tokubetsu da to omotte ita
atarimae to omotte ita nichijou mo
kimi ni deatte kara no boku ni wa
marude chigau tokubetsu na mono ni omoeta
oogesa da to kimi wa warau darou
demo hontou nan da
ima no boku wo tsukutta no wa
hoka no dare demo nai kimi da, kimi nan da”

“arigatou” to sunao ni ieta no wa
kimi no egao ga soba ni atta kara de
itsu shika boku no sekai ga hirogatta no wa
kimi no kotoba ga boku wo kaeta kara

kimi ga boku ni misete kureta
sekai wa zutto wasurenai yo
marude boku ga boku janaku natte mo
sonna hibi ni kimi ga iru no nara
towa ni bokura koi wo suru

English Translation

The world you showed me
It was so beautiful

In the gaps between the bookshelves
What lived was a flower
I couldn’t reach it
Living in the depths of words,
The seed of honest feelings
Withered, never saw the light of day

Comparing
To others
I’m afraid but yet
Everything about you
Lifts me up

The world you showed me
It was so beautiful
Like I’m not the old me anymore
Those days are somewhat endearing
I learn to love from you again

Next to you
Compared to before, somehow,
It seems I can breathe easier
Trivial anxiety
My heart beats
Those are the magic that makes me run

The world you showed me
It was so beautiful
Like I’m not the old me anymore
Those days are somewhat endearing

I’m giving you everything I’ve got

“I turned away from my empty, weak self
And used to see only what I wanted to see
I thought I was special
Every day I took for granted
After meeting you
Everything is different and special
You’d laugh that I am overreacting
But it’s true
You’re the one who made me
the person I am today”

I could say “thank you” without hesitance
Because your smile
Was by my side
Because your words changed me

The world you showed me
I will never forget it
Even if I’m not the old me
If you are still there in such days
We’ll fall in love forever
