Lyrics

itsu kara ka watashi wa ichiban daiji na mono
shinjirare naku natte ita no
naze doushite konna ni kurushii no darou
jibun de eranda hazu no basho ni iru no ni

watashi dake ga tadoritsuku kotae ga kitto aru
ikutsu no deai wo koe miete kita
tachinaorenai kizu nante nai hazu to
imi no nai namida nanka nai
mou mayowanai yo

dareka no tame ni hashirun janai
akirame hiza wo magerun janai
sono saki e takaku made tobu tame ni
mebaeta kizuna ga aru kara
susume to kokoro ga sakebu kara
mou sukoshi ato sukoshi da yo

naze ya doushite ni
oitsukareru mae ni
dokka de erandeta
omoi wo kotoba ni shitara
sore wa "suki" tte koto nan da

kizutsuku no ga kowakute tachidomattetan da
kokoro no koe ni me wo somuketa
kirai ni naritaku nakute eranda kotae wa
raku ni nareru hazu no michi datta no ni

watashi dake ni hataseru yume ga kitto aru
dondon hayaku naru takanaru kodou
yuzurenai "omoi" wo gyutto dakishimete
shinjiteru kimochi ga areba
mou kujikenai yo

dareka no tame ni waraun janai
namida wa hitori nagasun janai
sono saki e takaku made tobu tame ni
omowazu koboreru egao ga
ima da to kokoro ni sakebu made
mou sukoshi ato sukoshi da yo

osanaki koro no
kioku wa sora no mukou
dokka de nemutteru
omoi wo yobisamashitara
sore ga "suki" tte koto nan da

dareka no tame ni hashirun janai
akirame hiza wo magerun janai
sono saki e takaku made tobu tame ni
mebaeta kizuna ga aru kara
susume to kokoro ga sakebu kara
mou sukoshi ato sukoshi da yo

naze ya doushite ni
oitsukareru mae ni
dokka de erandeta
omoi wo kotoba ni shitara
sore wa "suki" tte koto nan da

English Translation

Don't know how long it's been since I've lost faith
in what's most important to me
How come, why am I in such pain
Even though I'm in the place where I've chosen for myself

There must be an answer waiting just for me
After so many encounters, I realized
There are no wounds too deep to recover from
There are no meaningless tears
I won't hesitate anymore

I'm not running for someone else
My knees aren't bent because I’m giving up
They're bent to jump high and far away
Because a new bond's been created
Because my heart shouts out for me to go forth
Just a little, just a little further

Before the "how comes" and the "whys" catch up with me
If the feelings I've chosen were put into words
That's got to mean I like it

Afraid to get hurt, I'd stopped in my tracks
Ignored my inner voice
Didn't want to feel dislike, so I chose
the path I thought would be easier on me, yet...

There must be a dream only I can fulfill
My heart beats faster, harder
Tightly embracing the thoughts that I won't give up on
If I keep believing,
I won't be defeated again

I'm not laughing for someone else
Tears shouldn't be shed alone
They're shed to jump high and far away
Spontaneous smiles
Until I shout out to my heart that now's the time
Just a little, just a little longer

My childhood memories lie beyond the skies
If my dormant feelings were awakened
That's got to mean I like it

I'm not running for someone else
My knees aren't bent because I’m giving up
They're bent to jump high and far away
Because a new bond's been created
Because my heart shouts out for me to go forth
Just a little, just a little further

Before the "how comes" and the "whys" catch up with me
If the feelings I've chosen were put into words
That's got to mean I like it
