[English]

Tears shining in the sun

Smiles cast in shadow

The true feelings of my heart

No one knows?

In this maze of society

You're lost and confused

Can't tell anyone

No one helps

I've lived days with tears too

Your days robbed by sadness

I want to change the colors

Of your tomorrow

Hidden in words, S.O.S.

I don't want to miss a single thing

I will never never never never let you go

Let's reach out and start walking together from here

...

Holding hope in anxiety

Stepping back with courage

Always in my heart

No one sees?

Unable to speak your true feelings

Trying to fit in

Faking smiles

Just breathing

Even now, the buds of hidden emotions

Slight but clear, showing your

Real feelings in your gestures

Hidden in your S.O.S.

Even if you change shape, I won't overlook it

I will never never never never let you go

Let's take a step forward, start walking together from here

踏み出そう ここから一緒に歩き出せる

...

Pretending everything's okay, saying "I'm fine"

Even upside down, I can feel it

Pretending everything's okay, saying "I'm fine"

But your heart is still crying

Pretending everything's okay, saying "I'm fine"

I'll find your true feelings, I promise

Hidden in your words, S.O.S.

I don't want to miss a single thing

I will never never never never let you go

Illuminate the shadows lurking in those eyes

I want to be your strength, S.O.S.

Hold tightly the hand you want to protect

I will never never never never let you go

Because we can always be by each other's side

...

[Japanese]

涙に Shining sun

笑顔に Shadow

本当の心は

No one knows？

社会の迷路で

君は迷って

誰にも言えない

No one helps

僕も同じ

涙を持って過ごした日々があって

悲しみに奪われた君の

明日の色を変えたい

言葉に隠された S.O.S.

何一つもう 見逃したくない

I will never never never never let you go

手を引こう ここから一緒に歩き出せる

不安に Holding hope

勇気に Back off

いつでも心は

No one sees？

社会のルールに

言えない本心

まわりに合わせて

Fake and smile

呼吸をしてる

隠した感情の蕾は今も

微かでも確かに君の

ホントの気持ちを示す

仕草に隠された S.O.S.

姿を変えても 見落とさない

I will never never never never let you go

踏み出そう ここから一緒に歩き出せる

平気な顔 大丈夫さって

逆さまでも伝わるよ

平気な顔 大丈夫さって

心はまだ 泣いてるよ

平気な顔 大丈夫さって

ホントの気持ち 見つけてみせるよ

言葉に隠された S.O.S.

何一つもう 見逃したくない

I will never never never never let you go

その目に潜む 影を照らして

力になりたいよ S.O.S.

守りたい手を ぎゅっと握りしめ

I will never never never never let you go

僕らはいつでも傍にいられるから
