[English]

I wanted to disappear from this world for a while

The world was so dark, I cried every night

Maybe it would be easier if I just disappeared completely

I was scared of everyone's gazes as they looked at me

The beautiful days felt so painful

Really hated that I wasn't loved

Even though Mom and Dad were watching me

My heart was pulling away in the opposite direction

Why, why, why, why?

...

The phrase 'time heals all' was true

With each passing day, I started to feel better

But if I feel too happy, it becomes scary again

Like I might lose the happiness I've gained

The beautiful memories hurt so much

No matter how much I suffered, I couldn't forget

Even though friends and everyone were watching me

I was drifting further away from the real me

But still, someday

I felt like I could even become the light

If I could overcome all the pain

I thought I could shine

I don't want to give up

Even though I had sleepless nights

If I could stand up again

Maybe you'll find me

Ah ah ah ah ah

Ah ah ah ah ah

Ah ah ah ah ah

Ah ah ah ah ah

No matter how much I worried

No matter how much I worried

No matter how much I wished, how much I pleaded

...

[Japanese]

一時この世から消えたかったの

世界が真っ暗で毎晩泣いていた

いっそのこと消えれば楽なのかな

みんなの見つめる視線が怖かった

美しかった時代がつらくて

愛されていないのが すごく嫌で

ママもパパもね 見つめてるのに

心は裏腹に遠ざかっていく

どうして どうして どうして どうして

時間が薬という言葉は合っていた

日が流れて行くたび良くなっていったの

でも幸せ過ぎるとまた怖くなる

手にした幸せを奪われる気がして

美しかった記憶がつらくて

どれだけ苦しんでも消えなかった

友達もみんなも見つめてるのに

本当の私から遠ざかっていく

それでもいつの日か

光にさえなれる気がして

すべての痛み越えたなら

輝ける気がしたの

諦めたくない

眠れない夜を重ねたけど

立ち上がれたなら

私を見つけてくれるのかな

Ah ah ah ah ah

Ah ah ah ah ah

Ah ah ah ah ah

Ah ah ah ah ah

どんなに どんなに悩んだの？

どんなに どんなに悩んだの？

どんなに どんなに どんなに願ったの？
