[English]

Don't leave me all alone

I wonder when I got used to carrying heavy burdens

I must have gotten accustomed to it

It's okay to put off the difficult things for now

The lonely me is waiting for the night

Ah, I don't want to feel lonely anymore

Please don't let me feel that way again

Ah, the nights I remember

Please don't call me all alone

...

The tears I've shed, I still can't tell anyone

Touching, breaking, and getting hurt again

I cling to the lonely night

...

Ah, I don't want to feel lonely anymore

Please don't let me feel that way again

Ah, the nights I remember

Please don't call me all alone

If you're weak

I'll show you my weakness too

If you pretend to be strong

I'll gently embrace your weakness

Don't leave me all alone

I won't let you be all alone

...

[Japanese]

一人ぼっちにはさせないでよ

いつから重たい荷物を持つ日々に

慣れてしまっていたんだろう

難しいことは後回しでいいから

孤独なボクを夜が待つ

あぁ寂しい思いは

もうボクにはさせないでよ

嗚呼 思い出した夜を

どうか一人ぼっちとは呼ばないで

流してきた涙は結局まだ誰にも言えない

触れては壊してまた傷ついては

一人ぼっち夜に縋る

あぁ寂しい思いは

もうボクにはさせないでよ

嗚呼 思い出した夜を

どうか一人ぼっちとは呼ばないで

あなたが弱いのなら

ボクの弱さも見せるから

あなたが強がるのならば

キミの弱さをそっと抱きしめるよ

一人ぼっちにはさせないでよ

一人ぼっちにはさせないよ
