Lyrics

zutto jibun ga kirai de
iratsuite itamitsukeru
kokozo to iu toki
iken ienaide
jishin wo ushinatte iku
Day by day

ano hi akogareta ano hito no you ni
kagayake ya shinai mou ii!
"douse musubare naishi"
"hontou wa medachitai"

yume mo ookikatta kodomo no koro mo
mou uso no you na jikan da
itsumo kuchi dake tassha na mama shuuryou
tsurasa mo kakushite itan da

demo mou hitsuyou nai kyoufushin
kono oto no kumo ni nori
ima wa tekitou ni waraou
ikeru tokoro made.

sou konoyo ni bokura wa
naki nagara umareta
dakara koso saigo wa
waratte owaru no sa
mezashiteta mokuhyou ga
kiete mo ironna
anata ni nareru kara
motto rafu ni
hashireba ii kara

sou konoyo ni bokura wa
hitori shika inai kara
ganbaru kimi jishin wo
aishite ageru no sa
zetsu hodo no yuuki wo
shiawase na jinsei e
nee, gawa ni iru kara
jiyuu ni ikite mo ii kara

English Translation

Keep hating ourselves forever,
Get raged and get wounded.
Can't express our opinions,
At those critical moments.
Losing confidence,
Day by day.

That day, we knew we can never shine,
Like the one we admired. Whatever.
"I can't hook up with them anyways."
"But in fact, I really wanna stand out."

The past when we were still kids and dreamt big,
Those times were like a lie.
Always end up being a talker than a doer.
We're always hiding our pain.

But we don't need to fear anymore.
Ride on the clouds of this sound.
Now, just laugh perfunctory,
Until we headed to the place we can survive.

Look, we were crying,
When we were born into this world.
That's why, at the end,
We should laugh and leave this world.
Even if the goal we were chasing 
all along vanished,
You can still live your splendid life with all possibilities.
Just make a rougher draft,
And run through it.

Look, you are the only one,
Who's never replaceable.
I'll pour my love to you,
Who's already striking your best.
Bring the courage to end a life,
To a life of happiness.
Hey, I'm next to you.
You can just live freely.
