[English]

If I could forgive you

Could I love someone again?

Even though I thought my heart was closed

Why do I still dream?

...

I guess I'll keep living?

...

My body soaked by the sudden rain

Buried in the sofa, I closed my eyes

The hands of the clock move mercilessly

Leaving me behind

The time stolen by you won't come back

I can't even forget it

...

If I could forgive you

Could I love someone again?

I don't want to see a sad face

But I won't raise my voice

Feelings can't be erased

In the dim light, pretending to sleep

You looked at me with cold eyes

Since that day, the scenery I see

Has lost its color

The promised future stolen by you

I told you I'd protect it with my hands

If I could forgive you

Could I forgive myself?

I don't even know what is right

And where should I go?

...

Why is it that the more I hate

I realize I love you?

I've become afraid of the feeling

Of loving someone

...

If I could forgive you

Could I love someone again?

Even though I thought my heart was closed

Why do I still dream?

...

I guess I'll keep living?

...

[Japanese]

もし君を 許せたら

また誰かを 愛せるかな？

閉ざしたはずの心なのに

どうして まだ 夢見るんだろう？

生きてくんだろう？

突然の雨に 濡れた身体

ソファに埋め 目をつむった

無情に時計の針は進む

僕を置き去りにして

君に奪われた 戻らない時間

忘れることさえ できないなんて

もし君を 許せたら

また誰かを 愛せるかな？

悲しい顔は 見たくなくて

僕は声を 上げないけど

思いは消せない

薄明かりの中 眠ったふりの

僕を冷たい瞳で見た

あの日から僕が見る景色は

色を失ったまま

君に奪われた 約束した未来

この手で守るからと伝えたのに

もし君を 許せたら

僕は僕を 許せるかな？

正しいことが 何なのかも

分からなくて 何処へ向かおう？

どうして 憎むほどに

愛してることに気づくの？

僕は人を 愛する気持ちが

怖くなったよ

もし君を 許せたら

また誰かを 愛せるかな？

閉ざしたはずの心なのに

どうして まだ 夢見るんだろう？

生きてくんだろう？
