Lyrics & Translation

[English] Please don't forget
In the midst of sadness
Don't be alone
Someone hold me close
Shining brightly
Your tears
Are being connected
Wishing through words

There are pains that won't disappear even if you touch them
Because we can't understand each other, we need to be prepared
Our hearts surely can't become one
So I've decided to stay by your side, that's all
In the night sky I looked up to, stars dance
How many wishes have vanished?
Someday that voice
Will help someone
And turn into kindness
Until it changes tomorrow
Shining brightly
Your tears
Are being connected
Wishing through words
What kind of righteousness can save anyone?
Even though there are so many feelings I can't gather
Mistakes are also the brilliance of being human
We, who are mismatched, just lean on each other, that's all
The night sky I looked up to is breaking dawn
How many wishes have been born?
It's okay not to smile
It's okay not to be happy
Living on
Is only yours
With your gaze
That was hitting the wind
Don't ever stop
Searching for love
Please lift your face

I whispered to the night sky
Wishes, shine again and again
Connected by love
Even though we were born
Why are we
Drifting apart?
Shining brightly
Don't leave the straightforward you alone
Someone hold me close
That will happen again and again
That will happen again and again
Because it will reach
Because it is being connected
Because it will reach
Because it is being connected
つながれていくから
