Lyrics

ureshisou na kao ga mitai yo
tasuketai shi toki ni wa yurushitai
koe aragete semete mo shikatanai
hidoku kizutsukeru nara koraetai

sonna kimochi wa uso de wanakute
demo kimochi wa hitotsu demo nakute
ikiba wo nakushita ikidoori ni
oboresou ni natta toki

tsukamu no wa shinnen ka migatte ka
omoiyari ka jiko gisei ka
bokura waraiaitai dake

sore wa
gomen ne ni kometa arigatou no you
arigatou ni kometa gomen ne no you
tsuranatta hontou de guradeeshon ni natta
aimai no naka kara ai wo mitsukedaseta nara

urahara na taido nuguenai koukai
sonna tsumori nakatta jaa donna tsumori datta
kizutsukeru to wakatte kuchi ni shita kotoba
sonna tsumori nakatta jaa donna tsumori datta

shirokuro zen'aku seikai fuseikai
kyokutan na shusha sentaku dake janai

dore mo kore mo uso de wanakute
daremo seijin kunshi janakute
ikiba wo nakushita ikidoori ni
oboresou ni natta toki

saa dou suru shinnen ka migatte ka
omoiyari ka jiko gisei ka
bokura waraiaitai dake

donna
yorokobi no riyuu mo iradachi no riyuu mo
te wo sashidashita riyuu mo tsumikasane nan darou
gomakashitai yowasa wo gomakasu tame janakute
kakkou wo tsukeru nara waraiau tame ni

sore wa
gomen ne ni kometa arigatou no you
arigatou ni kometa gomen ne no you
tsuranatta hontou de guradeeshon ni natta
aimai no naka kara ai wo mitsukedaseta nara
shinjirareta nara
kitto kitto kitto kitto

English Translation

I want to see your happy face
I want to help you, sometimes forgive you
It’s no use to raise your voice
If you will hurt me deeply, I want to endure it

These feelings are not a lie
But neither are they as simple as one word
When we are about to drown
In the anger of having lost our destination

Do we look for conviction or selfishness
Compassion or self-sacrifice
All we want is to laugh

That is
Like words of gratitude hidden in an apology
Like an apology hidden in words of gratitude
A gradation stemming from a series of truths
If we can find love out of ambiguity

A contradictory attitude, an unerasable regret
If you didn't mean to do that, what were you meaning to do then?
Words spoken, knowing that they would cause pain
If you didn't mean to do that, what were you meaning to do then?

Like black and white, good and evil, right and wrong
This is not just a choice between two extremes

There are no lies
There are no saints
When we are about to drown
In the anger of having lost our destination

So what do we choose, conviction or selfishness?
Compassion or self-sacrifice
All we want is to laugh

No matter
If it’s because of joy or frustration
We held out our hands because of many accumulated reasons
We want to hide it, but don’t want to hide our weaknesses
Let’s laugh together instead of trying to show off

That is
Like words of gratitude hidden in an apology
Like an apology hidden in words of gratitude
A gradation stemming from a series of truths
If we can find love out of ambiguity
If we could believe it
Then surely, surely, surely, surely
