[English]

On that day, I came to realize that the days we touched have now become something irreplaceable.

From that day on, everything started to feel hateful.

Just a mere existence living without purpose.

I came to understand that countless things like that mean nothing.

I can never go back to that day.

While I remain stuck standing still.

Wandering through a helpless night.

Carrying a pain that I just can't erase.

Even now, raising my voice, it's all in vain.

To a light that seems about to disappear any second.

I feel like it's reaching me, will I be forgiven?

Like this, keeping my heart shut, just breathing.

Hope, dreams, future—I can't see any of them.

The meaning of living, there's no answer.

I want to disappear, but I can't escape.

(Ha-ah)

I can't escape.

(Ha-ah)

Now, those ordinary days have become

something truly irreplaceable.

I realize it, bite down on it, and cry.

Even so, I remain

a existence that just breathes.

Wandering through this hopeless reality.

How can I face forward someday?

Will I be able to smile without hesitation someday?

Trying to find the strength just to keep living,

but I can't find it, I want it so badly.

I've called your name so many times to make sure.

Seasons pass, everything keeps changing.

Your smile, your voice.

Fading away, I just stand frozen.

No matter how much I scream or regret,

It will never reach you again.

If it were possible,

I long to feel that faint warmth once more.

The twinkling constellations remain as they were that day,

gently illuminating my heart.

Those days we laughed together, we can't go back to them twice.

The courage to take a step, the courage to live—

Keeping my heart shut, just breathing.

Hope, dreams, future—I can't see any of them.

The meaning of living, there's no answer.

I want to disappear, but I can't escape.

ありふれた日々が今になって

どうしようもない現実を彷徨ってい[01:42.95] る

どうしたら僕は前を向けるんだろう

いつの日にか迷いなく笑えるの

ただ生きる強さを探してみるけど

見つからなくて 手にしたくて

もう何度も君の名を呼んで確かめてる

季節は過ぎ全ては変わり続[02:16.95] ける

君の微笑みや 君のその声が

色褪せていく 立ちすくむだけ

こんなにも叫んでも悔やんでみても

もう二度と君には届かない

許されるのなら

微かな温もり感じていたく[02:48.78] て

瞬く星座は今もあの日のまま

僕の心を優しく照らしているよ

笑い合った日々 二度とは戻せない

踏み出す勇気を 生きる勇気を

心を閉ざしたままで息をしてる

希望 夢 未来なんて見えやしない[03:33.60] よ

生きる事の意味 答えなんてなくて

消えてしまいたくて 抜け出せなく[03:44.77] て
