[English]

I've told myself over and over again, it's just my imagination.

I'm not in love.

Thinking of you makes my heart ache,

it burns with heat.

My sighs turn white and fade away,

dissolving into the starry sky.

Every time I see your face,

my heart is stolen away.

I love you so much, so much more than I can say,

I can't hide these feelings anymore.

I want you to notice.

These overflowing feelings

Every day, every night, only you.

How long do I have to wish for this,

to be able to reach your heart?

Can I tell you, 'I love you...'?

I actually knew all along that I can't go back.

I just can't control these feelings.

In the corner of my bed, my heart collapses,

filled with nothing but anxiety, I can't stop it now.

The sadness wets my cheeks,

and when I can't sleep,

I wish to be with you.

That future is connected.

I'm so in love, I can't stop loving you,

don't take my heart away anymore.

I want to tell you, but I can't say it,

it's almost breaking me apart.

I want you to look at only me.

Longing so much, I want to see you now.

Let me hear the voice of your heart.

Do you feel the same way, 'I love you'?

No matter how much I think about it, is it impossible to make it come true?

If only I could stay by your side...

I love you so much, so much more than I can say,

please don't take my heart away anymore.

[Japanese]

もう何度も言い聞かせたんだ 気のせいだって

「好きなんかじゃない。」

キミのこと思い出しては

胸が痛んで 熱を帯びてく

ため息が 白く染まって

星空に溶けてくの

キミの顔 見るたびに

この瞳さらわれてく

こんなにも こんなにも 好きで仕方ない

ココロ隠せないの これ以上

気づいてほしいよ

溢れ出してく気持ち

Everyday Every night きみだけを

どのくらい どのくらい 願ったら

その心に触れられるの

「好き...」キミに伝えていいかな

もう本当は気づいてたんだ 戻れないって

抑え切れない

ベッドの隅 膨らんでいくのは

不安ばかりで もう止まらないの

切なさが 頬を濡らして

眠れないときには

願うんだ キミといる

その未来つながっている

こんなにも こんなにも 好きが止まらない

心連れてかないで これ以上

「伝えたい、でも言えない。」

壊れてしまいそうで

見つめて欲しい 私だけを

恋しくて 恋しくて 今会いたいよ

その心の声聞かせて

「好き...」 キミも同じ気持ちかな

どんなに想っても もう叶わないのかな

ただそばにいられたなら...

こんなにも こんなにも 好きで仕方ない

ココロ連れてかないで これ以上
