[English]

A lonely girl, unchanged from the past

This crossroads appears again and again

Each time, I'm forced to choose a future

Invisible, choose between Yes or No, what feels "like me"

No one understands, and anyway

I want to stop being afraid of getting hurt

I can't say "understand me"

I glared

At the judgments around me

They mean everything

But

I don't want to say it

It's nonsense

Just a little is enough

I want to be

Protected by something

For some reason

I walked wearing long sleeves

I felt like I could be strong

Don't come near me

Words full of lies

If I can escape from here

I can do anything, so I said

Go away

Leave me alone

With a face that says I'm not scared

I wanted to seem tough

Did I look strong?

So try me, I love the pain

Now I finally know

That pain is beautiful

It made me beautiful

Pain is beauty

The world has always been cold

Don't expect common sense from me

There’s no "should be" at all

I embraced my complexes and took flight

Show me your fight, baby

If you're tired, come here

I want to sing such songs for my precious people

When ordinary words

Pierce my heart so sharply

I want to feel only this pain, just like this

Familiar songs

I sang them casually

But I didn't realize how precious they were

I was loved

But I didn't notice

Now, I don't care what anyone says

Go and hate me all you want

Go away

Leave me alone

With a face that says I'm not scared

I wanted to seem tough

Did I look strong?

So try me, I love the pain

Now I finally know

That pain is beautiful

It made me beautiful

If I grow old like this

このまま歳をとれば

Will there be no more

Sadness?

The blood and tears I shed

Are colored

And becoming beautiful

Go away

Go away

Leave me alone

With a face that says I'm not scared

I wanted to seem tough

Did I look strong?

So try me, I love the pain

Now I finally know

That pain is beautiful

It made me beautiful

Pain is beauty

[Japanese]

昔と変わらないまま lonely girl

なんども現れるこの十字路

その度にまた選ばされる未来

目にみえない Yes or No 選べ”らしさ”を

誰もわかってくれないしどうせ

傷つきたくないのはやめて

理解してよなんて言えないから

睨みつけたんだ

まわりの評価が

全てで

だけど

言いたくないの

デタラメ

少しだけでいいから

何かに

守られたくて

なぜか

長袖を着て歩いた

強くなれたきがした

誰も近寄ってくんな

嘘だらけの言葉

ここから抜け出せれば

I can do anything so i said

Go away

ほっといて

怖くないって顔してさ

強がってみたかったんだ

強そうに見えたかな

so try me, I love the pain

今になってやっと知った

痛みって美しいんだ

私を綺麗にしたんだ

Pain is beauty

世間はいつでも冷たかった

私にだけは常識を求めんな

こうであるべきとか絶対ないから

コンプレックスを抱きしめて羽ばたいた

戦って見せてよbaby

疲れたらここにおいで

そう大切な人達にそんな歌を歌ってたい

ありきたりな言葉たちが

やけに胸にささるときは

このまま このまま 痛みだけを感じたい

聞き覚えのある曲たち

何気なく歌ってたのに

こんなに こんなに大切なものだったなんて

愛されていたのに

気がつけていなかった

もう、何言われてもいいや

Go and hate me all you want

Go away

ほっといて

怖くないって顔してさ

強がってみたかったんだ

強そうにみえたかな

so try me, I love the pain

今になって

やっと知った

痛みって美しいんだ

私を綺麗にしたんだ

このまま歳をとれば

悲しいことも

なくなっていくのかな

私が流した

血や涙にも

色がついて

綺麗になって行って

Go away

ほっといて

怖くないって顔してさ

強がってみたかったんだ

強そうに見えたかな

so try me, I love the pain

今になってやっと知った

痛みって美しいんだ

私を綺麗にしたんだ
