[English]

Dreaming a dream

But I can't even hold onto that

Between light and dark

All alone

The hurt I feel

Is not just myself

You who kept watching over me

Oh, you

Don't lose confidence (Hold on), don't give up

Hiding away (Don't find me)

Goodbye to yesterday

To who I was

Goodbye (Bye-bye!)

Bully (No!) Bullying (No!)

Getting hurt

Hurting others

Getting covered in scars

Fox (Fly!) Fox (Fly!)

Surely you can fly (Fly! Fly! Fly! Fly!)

All the pain

All the sadness

Let it all go free

Because I will protect you

...

Without showing tears

On nights when I feel like crying

Inside the deepest room of my heart

All alone

The one who hurt me

Was not just someone else

Pretending not to notice

My friends

Nothing (Nothing) to say (Say Nothing)

Almost giving up (No littering)

Goodbye to yesterday

To who I was

Goodbye (Bye-bye!)

Bully (No!) Bullying (No!)

It's so uncool (No! No! No! No!)

傷つけて

Getting covered in scars

Fox (Fly!) Fox (Fly!)

Surely you can fly

All the pain

All the sadness

Let it all go free

Because I will protect you

Feel the pain

And realize

All the time

All alone

My heart

Ignoring it

No more

Running away

Bullying is wrong!

Absolutely

...

Because I love you

Because it hurts so much

And my heart is strong

More than anything

I don't want to see your crying face anymore

Bully (No!) Bullying (No!)

It's so uncool (No! No! No! No!)

Getting hurt

Hurting others

Getting covered in scars

Fox (Fly!) Fox (Fly!)

Surely you can fly

All the pain

All the sadness

Let it all go free

Because I will protect you

Bullying, no good, absolutely

(No! No! No! No!)

Bullying, no good, forever

Bullying, no good, absolutely

(No! No! No! No!)

Bullying, no good, no

...
