[English]

From the memory of being held close, A red teardrop flowed out.

It's not something you show to others, you know.

The words I never spoke Became another version of me.

Screaming something from the inside of my body.

Ah, I wanted it so badly, I was so frustrated.

It's no good, hiding everything away. I'm sorry.

Because one person's sadness is enough, And I don't want to become any uglier than I already am.

Hidden inside of me, unseen by anyone, You were crying until you turned this color, weren't you?

It's beautiful.

From the heart I failed to give, A blue teardrop flowed out.

It's not something you shower on other people, you know.

I'll swallow it all without leaving a trace, Sink to the bottom of the distant sea.

And wait for it to become a jewel or something.

Decorating the truth with lies, Comforting myself with a make-believe life.

Healing my own tragedy with someone else's tragedy.

Still in that moment of drowning in longing, Breathless, I just love you.

Because one person's sadness is enough, And I don't want to become any uglier than I already am.

Hidden inside of me, unseen by anyone, You were crying until you turned this color, weren't you?

It's beautiful.

I'm sorry.

Hey, it's beautiful, you know.

[Japanese]

抱きしめられた記憶から 流れ出た赤い雫

人様に見せるものじゃないの

伝えなかった言霊が もうひとつの私になって

身体の内側で何かを叫んでる

ああ 欲しかったのに 悔しかったのに

駄目だよ全部隠しておくの ごめんね

悲しいのは一人で充分だからと これ以上醜くなりたくないのと

私の中で誰にも見付けられずに こんな色になるまで泣いていたんだね

綺麗よ

渡しそびれた心から 流れ出た青い雫

人様に浴びせるものじゃないの

余すとこなく飲み込んで 遠くの海の底に沈んで

そのまま宝石にでもなれるのを待つわ

本当を嘘で飾って ごっこみたいな暮らしで慰めて

誰かの悲劇で自分の悲劇を癒して

恋しさに溺れた瞬間のままで 息も出来ずただ 愛してるの

悲しいのは一人で充分だからと これ以上醜くなりたくないのと

私の中で誰にも見付けられずに こんな色になるまで泣いていたんだね

綺麗よ

ごめんね

ねぇ綺麗よ
