どうして大切なものって儚くうつろう Why do precious things fade away so fleetingly? 00:27
優しさや微笑みさえ色を変えてゆく Even kindness and smiles change their colors. 00:35

愛してるのに 愛せない 澄んだ瞳がなおさらに I love you, yet I can't love you; your clear eyes only 01:00
眩しすぎて 苛立ちが募る shine too brightly, increasing my frustration. 01:09
抱きしめたくて 抱けなくて 行き場失くす僕の手から I want to hold you, but I can't; my hands lose their way, 01:17

愛してる I love you. 01:33

どうして大切なものって儚くうつろう
Why do precious things fade away so fleetingly?
優しさや微笑みさえ色を変えてゆく
Even kindness and smiles change their colors.
尖(とが)る言葉並べて ぶつけあった感情(キモチ)は
The sharp words we lined up, the feelings we clashed,
投げつけたぶんの激しさで 僕の胸を切りつける
Cut through my heart with the intensity of what was thrown.
愛してるのに 愛せない 澄んだ瞳がなおさらに
I love you, yet I can't love you; your clear eyes only
眩しすぎて 苛立ちが募る
shine too brightly, increasing my frustration.
抱きしめたくて 抱けなくて 行き場失くす僕の手から
I want to hold you, but I can't; my hands lose their way,
零れ落ちてく ねえ君の事を
and you slip away, hey, about you.
愛してる
I love you.
いつから迷ったのかな はぐれた二人
Since when have we been lost, the two of us who strayed?
求めれば求めるほど愛を見失う
The more I seek, the more I lose sight of love.
どこにいるの 教えて 欲しいものはなかった
Where are you? Please tell me; I had nothing I wanted.
迷いもなく好きだと言えば 君の元へ行けるかな
If I could say I love you without hesitation, could I reach you?
戻りたいのに 戻れない 無邪気すぎてたあの場所は
I want to go back, but I can't; that place was too innocent.
記憶のなか 陽射しに揺れてる
In my memories, it sways in the sunlight.
判りたいのに 判らない もがきながら傷つけてた
I want to understand, but I don't; while struggling, I hurt you.
伝えたい言葉 ねえ君の事を
The words I want to convey, hey, about you.
愛してる
I love you.
Ah 叶うならどうか 名前も知らないままの二人から
Ah, if only it could happen, from two who don't even know each other's names,
もう一度出逢って 辿りなおしてみたい キミと
I want to meet you again and try to trace back to you.
何も言わず君を抱いてしまえば良いのかい?ねぇ
Is it okay if I just hold you without saying anything? Hey,
涙色に染まる頬の照らせないまま濡れる心
my heart, wet and unable to shine, stained with tears.
間違いと間違いが交わり拗れてく
Mistakes intertwine and get tangled.
せめてあの日までの巻き戻し方をねぇ教えて
At least teach me how to rewind to that day, hey.
愛してるのに 愛せない 澄んだ瞳がなおさらに
I love you, yet I can't love you; your clear eyes only
眩しすぎて苛立ちが募る
shine too brightly, increasing my frustration.
抱きしめたくて 抱けなくて 行き場失くす僕の手から
I want to hold you, but I can't; my hands lose their way,
零れ落ちてく ねえ君の事を
and you slip away, hey, about you.
愛してる
I love you.
