[English]

All for you...

All for you...

All for you...

Anytime, even when I'm alone, I'm sure

I can keep on living

I lined up my bravado

Now I know I'm not as strong as I imagined

Won’t let me cry

Before I knew it, fallin’, I’m fallin’

Again slippin’ in the gap of the night

When I suddenly looked up

Your gaze

Spoke to me

“Don’t you cry, Don’t you cry”

I’m tryin’, now holding your hand

Let’s start walking

I’m tryin’, no matter the wall

I can overcome it

Even the lonely nights

Your voice was pushing me forward

Tryin’, Tryin’ always

All for you...

Far away, flickering uncertainly

The light of the future

Every time it seems like it might go out

Here we go, with our hands together

Let me protect you, right by your side

A story begins, your story

Now slowly starting to walk

On this path

When you might forget that smile again

Make you smile, make you smile

Make you smile, Make you smile

I’m tryin’ to walk towards the tomorrow I dreamed of

I’m walking on

I’m tryin’, no matter the time

I will protect you

Even when you feel like giving up

I’ll be watching over you closely

Tryin’, Tryin’ always

All my strengths and weaknesses

You accepted all of them

I won’t deceive myself anymore, I’ll be myself

I’m tryin’...

I’m tryin’...

I’m tryin’, now holding your hand

Let’s start walking

I’m tryin’, no matter the wall

I can overcome it

Even the lonely nights

Your voice...

[Japanese]

All for you...

All for you...

All for you...

Anytime 一人きりでもきっと

僕は生きてゆけると

強がりを並べた

Now I know 思い描いたほど

強くない自分が Won’t let me cry

気付けば Fallin’, I’m fallin’

また Slippin’ 夜の狭間

ふと顔上げたら

君のそのまなざしが

僕に語りかけた

“Don’t you cry, Don’t you cry”

I’m tryin’ いま手を繋いで

歩き出す

I’m tryin’ どんな壁でも

超えていけるから

孤独だった夜も

その声が 背中を 押してたから

Tryin’, Tryin’ いつも

All for you...

Far away 頼りなく揺らめく

未来の灯火が

消えそうになる度

Here we go 重ねた手のひらで

僕に守らせてよ Right by your side

始まる Story, your story

いま Slowly 歩き出した

この道の途中

また君がその笑顔を

忘れそうな時は

Make you smile, Make you smile

I’m tryin’ 夢見てた明日へ

歩いて行く

I’m tryin’ どんな時でも

君を守るから

くじけそうな時も

その姿 近くで 見守るから

Tryin’, Tryin’ いつも

僕の強さや弱いところも

すべて君が受け止めてくれたから

僕はもうごまかさない I’ll be myself

I’m tryin’...

I’m tryin’...

I’m tryin’ いま手を繋いで

歩き出す

I’m tryin’ どんな壁でも

超えていけるから

孤独だった夜も

その声が 背中を...
