English Translation

The important things
I wanted to protect, I wanted to protect
whether I’m suffering, or I’m weak
for me, staying still is not an option
I’m running, and running, and running
but is that, wrong?

It won’t come true no matter who I wish upon
Through extravagant pains and pressures
with struggles and with strength
I withstood, but
in the tears I shed the day
that I decided to protect it all
how can there be lies, how can there be lies?
I can prove myself I swear

“There’s no way you can.”
Then, where does justice live?

What a helpless small hand
So stupid, how it can’t grab a single thing

Everything, everything
How easy would it be if it all disappeared
Everything, everything
and there, there was only hell awaiting.
Everything, everything
it’ll be I who protect it all so don’t worry
Everything, everything, everything

Forever scratching myself away, all alone
even at the brink of breaking
“because I decided so”
It might be painful, but I still love it.

The important things
I wanted to protect, I wanted to protect

The important things
I wanted to protect, I wanted to protect

The important things
I wanted to forgive, but I couldn’t forgive

Whether I am scared, or in pain
for me, staying still is not an option
I’m running, and running, and running
but is that, wrong?

Is that, wrong?

It won’t come true no matter who I wish upon
By extravagant pains and rain
I was hit, and swallowed
and I was in tears, but
in the tears I shed the day
that I decided to protect it all
how can there be lies, how can there be lies?
So I must smile it up, and one day
“embrace it again”
though the feelings won’t come across

Right now, I take the small hands
and with my companions, put them together and make it one

Everything, everything
will never return to how it was,
Everything, everything, everything

Forever blocking it out, all alone
so that it won’t break
“it’s still the same”
It might be painful, but I still love it.
