[English]

I don't know why, still unseen Shine

A forced smile, blinds my heart, Fiction of life

Even so, I got my pride

How much regret, how much pain

Unable to hold back, I throw it away

I can't forgive my sweet self more than anyone

I haven't felt the word love lately

In this world, passing time

People sway and go in circles

(Day by day) My mind is moving

(Time after time) Now it's moving

(Step by step) Now it's passing by

(Goodbye day) Tonight is fading away

Uh...

An eternal feeling that can't be put into words

I wonder if someone will notice my heart

Somewhere in the world, someone

Is connected by just one story

...

When I smile on the outside and cry on the inside

I can't even tell the front from the back

Suddenly realizing, I get caught in the darkness

I laugh fleetingly to search for light

Countless tears and countless courage

Even if I throw it away, I can't let go

I can't see myself now

Others are just others, I decide at some point

Naturally tightening my own neck

Every time we pass without making eye contact

I even lose sight of myself

A crossroads where people overlap

Lines connect somewhere

The story one person holds

Just like you were on my page

(Day by day) My heart is moving

(Time after time) Now it's swaying

(Step by step) Now I'm looking up

(Goodbye day) Tonight I'm holding on

Uh... About you

An eternal feeling that can't be put into words

I wonder if someone will notice my heart

Somewhere in the world, someone

Is connected by just one story

Still unseen shine

A forced smile, blinds my heart, Fiction of life

Light that shines through the gap

The feelings I love are indeed important

I want to be useful for you

I have the desire to become that kind of person

Instead of kindness, a gentle atmosphere

I long for a time like that, even for a day

To connect and spend together

Day by day

Time after time

Step by step

Goodbye day

Day by day

Time after time

Step by step

Goodbye day

Day by day

Time after time

...

[Japanese]

(I don't know why, 未だ見えない Shine

愛想笑い, 心にはブラインド, Fiction of life

それでも l got my pride)

どれだけの悔しさどれだけのつらさ

こらえきれず投げ出しては

甘い自分が誰より許せない

愛という言葉なんて最近感じれない

世の中には暇つぶして

人と人が揺れて空回り

(Day by day) 頭動いている

(Time after time) 今動いてく

(Step by step) 今過ぎて行く

(Goodbye day) 今夜も暮れて行く

Uh...

言葉にならない永遠の

こころさいつ誰か気付いて

世界のどこかの誰かとは

つながるたった1つのストーリーで

表で笑って裏で泣く時に

表裏すら解らなくなる

ハッと気がつきゃ闇に捕まる

光探すため儚く笑う

いくつもの涙といくつもの勇気

投げ出しても捨てきれない

今の私自分が見えない

他人は他人といつしか決めつけ

自ずと自分の首を締め付ける

目を合わす事なくすれ違う度

自分の事すらも見失う

人が人と重なる交差点

線と線はつながる何処かで

一人が持つストーリー

俺のページに君がいた様に

(Day by day) 心動いている

(Time after time) 今揺れている

(Step by step) 今上を向く

(Goodbye day) 今夜も抱いている

Uh... 君の事

言葉にならない永遠の

こころさいつ誰か気付いて

世界のどこかの誰かとは

つながるたった 一つのストーリーで

(未だ見えない shine

愛想笑い, 心にはブラインド Fictino of life

その隙間に差し込んだ Light)

大好きな思いこそやっぱり大事だね

あなたのため役に立てる

そんな私になりたい欲が出る

優しさの代わりに穏やかな空気

そんな時が一日でも

つながって過ごせる夢憧れる

Day by day

Time after time

Step by step

Goodbye day

Day by day

Time after time

Step by step

Goodbye day

Day by day

Time after time
