Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

君が僕に見せてくれた

You showed me

世界はとても綺麗だったな

a world that was so beautiful

書架の隙間に住まう

A single flower living

一輪の花は

in the gap of the bookshelf

僕には届かぬ存在で

is an existence I cannot reach

言葉の奥に住まう

The seeds of true feelings

本音の種はもう

dwell deep within words

日の目も浴びずに枯れていた

have withered without seeing the light of day

周りと比べてはまた

Comparing myself to others again

自己嫌悪落ちてく

I fall into self-loathing

怖くなるんだそれでも

It scares me, yet

君の全てに

I am saved by everything about you

救われて

You showed me

君が僕に見せてくれた

a world that was so beautiful

世界はとても綺麗だったな

It's as if I'm becoming someone else

まるで僕が僕じゃなくなっていく

Those days feel somehow precious

そんな日々もどこか愛おしくて

I fall in love with you again

また君に恋を知る

Next to you

君の隣では

I feel somehow

何故だか前より

that breathing is easier than before

息が楽に思えるんだ

Even the smallest anxieties

些細な不安も

and my racing heartbeat

高鳴る鼓動も

are the magic that drives me

僕を走らせる魔法だ

You showed me

君が僕に見せてくれた

a world that was so beautiful

世界はとても綺麗だったな

It's as if I'm becoming someone else

まるで僕が僕じゃなくなっていく

Those days feel somehow precious

そんな日々もどこか愛おしくて

I pour all of myself into you

ぶつけるんだ僕の全てを君に

“Turning away from my empty, weak self

「空っぽで弱い自分から目を背け

I only saw what I wanted to see back then

見たいものだけを見ていたあの頃

I thought I was special

僕は自分を特別だと思っていた

Even the everyday things I took for granted

当たり前と思っていた日常も

seemed like something completely special

君に出会ってからの僕には

after I met you

まるで違う特別なものに思えた

You would probably laugh and say it's exaggerated

大袈裟だと君は笑うだろう

But it's true

でも本当なんだ

The one who created the current me

今の僕を創ったのは

is no one other than you, it’s you”

他の誰でもない君だ、君なんだ」

他の誰でもない君だ、君なんだ」

｢ありがとう｣と素直に言えたのは

The reason I could say “thank you” honestly

君の笑顔が傍にあったからで

was because your smile was by my side

いつしか僕の世界が広がったのは

My world expanded at some point

君の言葉が僕を変えたから

because your words changed me

君が僕に見せてくれた

You showed me

世界はずっと忘れないよ

a world I will never forget

まるで僕が僕じゃなくなっても

Even if I become someone else

そんな日々に君が居るのなら

if you are in those days

永遠に僕ら恋をする

we will love each other forever
