Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

夢の中　ひび割れた声や　吐息の欠片たち

In my dreams, the cracked voices and fragments of breath.

過去の嘘　秘めて　今　遠くの街で祈っていた

Hiding the lies of the past, now I was praying in a distant town.

探した線を描いても　失くした物は返らない

Even if I draw the lines I searched for, the things I've lost won't return.

本当の事はわかんない　その答えに意味もない

I don't really know the truth; there's no meaning in that answer.

不安の渦　溢れだす　誓ったはずの ONE AND LAST

The whirlpool of anxiety overflows; it was supposed to be my sworn ONE AND LAST.

間違いだらけだと知って

I know it's full of mistakes.

もし生まれ変われたらなんて　言わないで

Don't say things like 'if I could be reborn'.

凍えそうなあなたを抱きしめた

I held you, who seemed like you would freeze.

ただ幸せを願うことが怖くって

I was scared just wishing for happiness.

壊れそうな世界から背を向けて

Turning my back on this fragile world.

さよならって　また叫ぶの？

Will I shout goodbye again?

さよならって　ただ叫ぶの？

Is it just a shout of goodbye?

二度と離さない　守ってみせる

I won't let go again; I will protect you.

笑って見せてよ

Show me your smile.

微かに聞こえていても　知らない　何もない　何もない

Even if I can faintly hear it, I know nothing, nothing at all.

息をひそめて　潜んだこの部屋には　何もない　

In this room where I hold my breath, there's nothing.

堪えきれず流れだす　誓ったはずの ONE AND LAST

Unable to endure, it overflows; it was supposed to be my sworn ONE AND LAST.

最愛　それだけを知って

I only know love.

時を巻き戻すような夢を見せないで

Don't show me dreams that rewind time.

零れ落ちた言葉に目を伏せた

I turned my eyes away from the words that spilled.

絡みつく記憶の帳を脱ぎ去って

Shedding the tangled memories.

これがきっと最後だと決めつけて

I decided that this must be the last.

さよならって　また叫ぶの？

Will I shout goodbye again?

さよならって　ただ叫ぶの？

Is it just a shout of goodbye?

何も変わらないままの子守歌

A lullaby that remains unchanged.

歌ってあげるよ

I will sing it for you.

夢の中　ひび割れた声や　吐息の欠片たち

In my dreams, the cracked voices and fragments of breath.

過去の嘘　秘めて　今　遠くの朝を祈っていた

Hiding the lies of the past, now I was praying for a distant morning.

もし生まれ変われたらなんて　言わないで

Don't say things like 'if I could be reborn'.

凍えそうなあなたを抱きしめた

I held you, who seemed like you would freeze.

ただ幸せを願うことが怖くって

I was scared just wishing for happiness.

壊れそうな世界から背を向けて

Turning my back on this fragile world.

さよならって　また叫ぶの？

Will I shout goodbye again?

さよならって　ただ叫ぶの？

Is it just a shout of goodbye?

何も変わらないままの子守歌

A lullaby that remains unchanged.

歌ってあげるよ

I will sing it for you.

守ってみせる

I will protect you.

笑って見せてよ

Show me your smile.
