Lyrics & Translation

[Japanese]

[English]

追えばすぐ届きそうだった

It felt like I could reach it just by chasing after it

疑ったりした事なかった

I never doubted or questioned

夢の中 愛しても

In my dreams, even when I love you

いくらぎゅっと抱いても

No matter how tightly I hold you

虚しさだけが

Only emptiness remains

残り彷徨う

And I wander lost

結局気付く

Eventually, I realize

君を離さなくてはならないと

That I have to let you go

(Oh) 自分を偽った

(Oh) I was pretending to be someone else

(Oh) 夢が覚めた瞬間

(Oh) The moment the dream ended

(Oh) 降り注ぎ出した光

(Oh) The light that started pouring down

I wanna be myself (I don’t care)

I wanna be myself (I don’t care)

ぎこちなくても (Just don’t care)

Even if I'm awkward (Just don’t care)

抜け出た瞬間見えてくる

The moment I break free, I see everything

全てが 目の前が

All of this, right before my eyes

Now I know what I need (Now I know)

Now I know what I need (Now I know)

僕には僕が必要で

I need to be true to myself

歩く この足向くまま

Just walking forward with these feet

I feel the light, I feel the light

I feel the light, I feel the light

ひとえに 君へと

All towards you

走っていた 気付けば

Running, I didn’t notice until I realized

全ては 君の為で

That everything was for you

君に近付くほど

The closer I get to you

自分が見えなくて

The harder it is to see myself

あの木を埋める木の葉の様

Like the leaves covering that tree

雪が積もり 踏まれていこうと

Snow falls and we step on it, pushing forward

超えていくよ また春めざして

Beyond that, heading towards spring again

残る想いは風に飛ばして

Sending my remaining feelings into the wind

(Oh) 僕を閉じ込める

(Oh) Trapped inside myself

(Oh) トンネルを出た瞬間

(Oh) The moment I leave the tunnel

(Oh) 降り注ぎ出した光

(Oh) The light that started pouring down

I wanna be myself (I don’t care)

I wanna be myself (I don’t care)

ぎこちなくても (Just don’t care)

Even if I’m awkward (Just don’t care)

抜け出た瞬間見えてくる

The moment I break free, I see everything

全てが 目の前が

All of this, right before my eyes

Now I know what I need (Now I know)

Now I know what I need (Now I know)

僕には僕が必要で

I need to be true to myself

歩くこの足向くまま

Walking forward with these feet

I feel the light, I feel the light

I feel the light, I feel the light

離れるのは怖かったけど

I was afraid to part ways

そうするしかない今は

But now, I have no choice but to do so

It’s all good now

It’s all good now

I wanna be myself (I don’t care)

I wanna be myself (I don’t care)

ぎこちなくても (Just don’t care)

Even if I’m awkward (Just don’t care)

君と離れて見えた

When I saw that I was apart from you

全てが 目の前が

Everything was right before my eyes
