[English]

I'll never cry because

I know that it will never change

In a hidden place, I endure, just standing still

Though I feel like collapsing many times

Alone, reaching out my hand, alone, standing up again

Worn-out sneakers, a faded T-shirt

No time even to heal these worn scars

In front of the pop filter, silencing this voice

All these scars, like tattoos

Bare all, show everything

It's all I have, everything I believe in

Even on days I feel like giving up

Without avoiding, whatever happens

Letting go, even when I fall, even when I fall

Until dawn

I turn on the lights

Because I can't stop now

Still heading toward the shining future

I will never give up

If it's me, I'll be okay

Keep pushing forward

Even if I get hurt

Oh, nothing's changed in this heart

Even if I feel like breaking apart

With all my strength, I aim for it

Oh, even if I stumble

I'll be okay if it's me

I'll never cry because

I know that it will never change

In a hidden place, I endure, just standing still

Though I feel like collapsing many times

Alone, reaching out my hand, alone, standing up again

My heart nearly breaking, I shout from my chest (Woah)

Someone must be watching over me

They'll probably heal this pain (Yeah)

Until dawn

I turn on the lights

Because I can't stop now

Still heading toward the shining future

I will never give up

If it's me, I'll be okay

Keep pushing forward

Even if I get hurt

Oh, nothing's changed in this heart

Even if I cry again ahead on my path

Holding onto strength, heading towards tomorrow

Rediscovering my lost smile

Looking up and walking, shining so brightly

MY SCARS, I WILL SHOW IT ALL

This heart, nothing's changed

Even if I feel like breaking

With all my strength, I aim for it

Oh, even if I stumble

I'll be okay if it's me

[Japanese]

I’ll never cry because

I know that it’ll never change

人知れぬ場所 耐え ただ立ち尽くす

何度も倒れそうになるけど

一人 手を伸ばし 一人 立ち上がる

履き潰した Sneakers 着古した Tee

痛んだ傷癒す暇すらない

ポップガードの前 枯らすこの声

この傷跡全部 まるで Tattoo

さらけ出して全てを

見せる それが全てと

投げ出したくなる日も

避けず 何があっても

構わず Let go 倒れても 倒れても

夜明けまで

I turn on the lights

そう止まらない

まだ先に光る 未来へ向かい

I will never give up

僕なら大丈夫

突き進んで行く

傷つこうと

Oh この心に変わりはない

例え壊れそうでも

力の限り 目指す

Oh 転んでも

僕なら大丈夫

I’ll never cry because

I know that it’ll never change

人知れぬ場所 耐え ただ立ち尽くす

何度も倒れそうになるけど

一人 手を伸ばし 一人 立ち上がる

挫けそうな心を 胸に 叫ぶ程 (Woah)

誰か見てくれているだろう

この痛み 癒してくれるだろう (Yeah)

夜明けまで

I turn on the lights

そう止まらない

まだ先に光る 未来へ向かい

I will never give up

僕なら大丈夫

突き進んで行く

傷つこうと

Oh この心に変わりはない

進む先 また涙流しても

強く手を握り向かう 明日へと

忘れていた笑顔 また取り戻して

上向いて Walk 眩しい程

MY SCARS I WILL SHOW IT ALL

この心に変わりはない

例え壊れそうでも

力の限り 目指す

Oh 転んでも

僕なら大丈夫
