Lyrics

amata no kanjou gisei ni shite ima ni itatta
anata ni fureta yubisaki mo
ushinaccha ikenai sekai wa koko datta
dakara boku wa yuku no darou
sono saki e

omoeba tooku made kitan da
maboroshi wo oyoide itan da
tada tsuyoku are to negatta
seikai nai sekai
kokoro hitotsu dake ja
mamorenai mono bakari ni oshitsubusareru dake sa

boku ga boku no mama de ireba
anata wo itsuka ushinau
uzuku koto wo yamenai kizu ga
asu e to izanau

torikaeshi you no nai soushitsu to iu rizaruto
tsugeraretan da muryokusa wo
owarasecha ikenai sekai no shikisai wa
kienai koukai mo yakitsukeru, hitomi no oku ni

mada tsuyoku nare, to kikoeta
seikai nai sekai

mamoru beki mono subete ni sasageru tame sa

boku ga boku no mama de ireba
anata wo itsuka ushinau
uzuku koto wo yamenai kizu wa

amata no kanjou gisei ni shite ima ni itatta
anata ni fureta yubisaki de
ushinaccha ikenai omoi dake wo nazotta
soshite boku wa yuku no darou
sono saki e

English Translation

By sacrificing a lot of my feelings, I reached to where I am now
Even my fingertips that touched you　　　
This was the world we must not lose
That’s why I am going
Further on

I realized that I have come far　
I was swimming in the illusion　
I prayed to become strong
The world without a correct answer
With only one heart,
I will just be crushed by the things I cannot protect

If I stay as I am
I will lose you one day
The scar that keeps aching
tempts me to tomorrow

The result is an irreparable loss
I was told how much powerless I am　
The colors of the world that must never end
It also burns the indelible regret deeply in my eyes
　
I heard the voice "Become stronger"
World without a correct answer　
The only one heart that I have
It is for dedicating to everything that needs to be protected

If I stay as I am
I will lose you one day
The scar that keeps aching
It will not disappear with tears
I know that

Though I stay as I am
I am looking for the day to be forgiven
Even if wishes, hopes and prayers
don’t make any sense

By sacrificing a lot of my feelings, I reached to where I am now
With my fingertips that touched you
I traced only the feelings that I must not lose
And I will go　
Further on
