Lyrics & Translation
I want to stay honest with what I feel now
ChAngE I'll be reborn again and again
I'll hold my sadness tight and start running
After experiencing betrayal, I stand here free
When I lack everything, when I can't get enough, just distort it more
In this patterned world, I lose sight of who I really am
I don't want to be boxed in, don’t assume anything about me
Walking a path with no roads
Just waiting or being there, nothing will start
ChAngE I won't sway, I won't be swept away
I want to be honest with what I feel now
I won't let anyone control my feelings
ChAngE I'll be reborn again and again
I'll hold my sadness tight and start running
I can't go back to you anymore
I want to be myself— I wanna chAngE
Why are you hesitating like that? Where are you, unfulfilled?
Unrusted, unfaded, break free and let me be louder
Because I’ve changed, this world reflects who I am now
What do you see in the future you're imagining?
Going towards a tomorrow without love
Don't hold me back, even if I miss you, I want to move forward
ChAngE I won't stop, I won't look back
Always seeking the truth
I feel I can even cherish tears
ChAngE I won’t forget, I don't want to lose
I'll hold my joy tight and start running
Even if I leave your side
I want to be myself— I wanna chAngE
If there's you after I change
If there's me after you change
ChAngE ChAngE I'll start running
ChAngE I won't sway, I won't be swept away
I want to be honest with what I feel now
I won't let anyone control my feelings
ChAngE I'll be reborn again and again
I'll hold my sadness tight and start running
If we can see the same scenery together
Someday, I want to return to you
I want to be myself— I wanna chAngE
