[English]

Monday I'm still missing you

Tuesday I still remember

Spending every day full of anxiety

Worrying whether I should turn back

Monday I'm still missing you

Tuesday I still remember

Spending every day full of worry

Worrying whether I should turn back

Lately I've been feeling pretty negative

No matter what I think, you keep appearing

I can't fall asleep, it's 2 a.m.

Just irritating feelings I don't need

I want to see you, I want to reach out

But I can't become that gentle

If only time was the only answer

Maybe someday I won't care anymore

...

I'm missing you

Feeling like we're drifting apart

I thought we could stay by each other's side forever

I'm missing you

But now I've lost you

We’re just passing each other, conflicting

Not able to meet anymore

...

Why am I still missing you?

Worrying, and only time passes

Every day I feel helpless with this anxiety

I can't even turn back now

Sunday, the day I looked forward to

Hoping that someday I can forget

Feeling anxious but wanting to face forward

I can't turn back even if I wanted to

About love

As if I already knew

That I spent time with you

About the other person

As if I already understood

Staring at you

I truly loved you

...

I'm missing you

Feeling like we're drifting apart

I thought we could stay by each other's side forever

I'm missing you

But now I've lost you

We’re just passing each other, conflicting

Not able to meet anymore

Monday I'm still missing you

Tuesday I still remember

Spending every day full of anxiety

Worrying whether I should turn back

Monday I'm still missing you

Tuesday I'm still in love with you

Even today, feeling anxious

Someday I hope I’ll be okay

[Japanese]

Monday I’m still missing you

Tuesday いまだに思い出す

不安で過ごしてきたeveryday

Uターンしようか悩んでる

Monday I’m still missing you

Tuesday いまだに思い出す

不安で過ごしているeveryday

Uターンしようか悩んでる

ここ最近ネガティブなりがち

なに考えても君浮かびがち

眠りにつけないよ午前2時

いらない感情ばかり苛立ち

会いたい 連絡してみたい

でもそんなやわにもなれない

時間のみが解決手段なら

いつかはどうでも良くなるかな

I‘m missing you

すれ違うfeeling

ずっと隣にいられると思っていたの

I’m missing you

でもlosing you

すれ違って 食い違って

会えなくなって

なんでI’m still missing you

悩んで時間だけ過ぎてゆく

不安で仕方ないよeveryday

Uターンするにもできないよ

Sunday 楽しみにしていた日

Someday 忘れられると思いたい

不安で でも前を向いていたい

Uターンするにもできない

愛のことを

わかりきっていたかのように

君と過ごしていたの

相手のことを

わかりきっていたかのように

君を見つめていた

本当好きだった

I’m missing you

すれ違うfeeling

ずっと隣にいられると思っていたの

I’m missing you

でもlosing you

すれ違って 食い違って

会えなくなって

Monday I’m still missing you

Tuesday いまだに思い出す

不安で過ごしてきたeveryday

Uターンしようか悩んでる

Monday I’m still missing you

Tuesday I’m still in love with you

不安で過ごしている今日も

Someday I hope to be okay
