Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

一人きりでも平気と

I'm okay being all alone

こぼれ落ちた強がり

The bravado that slipped away

二人の眩しすぎた日が

Those days when we shined so brightly

こんなに悲しい

Are now so sad

一人で生きられるなら

If I could live alone

誰かを愛したりしないから

I wouldn't love anyone

あなたの香り あなたの話し方

Your scent, your way of talking

今も体中に 愛の欠片が残ってるよ

Even now, pieces of love remain in my body

私の願い 私の願いはただ

My wish, my only wish

どうかあなたも何処かで 泣いていますように

Is that somehow, you're crying somewhere too

...

...

いつも新しい一歩は

Every new step I take

重くて寂しい

Feels heavy and lonely

もし生まれ変わっても

Even if I were reborn

もう一度あなたに出会いたい

I want to meet you again

真夏の日差し 真冬の白い雪

The midsummer sun, the white snow of winter

めぐる季節中に 愛の欠片が舞い落ちて

Across the changing seasons, pieces of love fall down

幸せなのに どこかで寂しいのは

Though I'm happy, somewhere I feel lonely

あなたよりも大きな 私の愛のせい

Because of a love bigger than you can see

...

...

鍵はあなたが持ったまま

The key remains with you

歌う意味を失くしたカナリア

A canary that lost its meaning to sing

暗い鳥籠の中で

Inside a dark cage

あなたの香り あなたの話し方

Your scent, your way of talking

今も身体中に 愛の欠片が残ってるよ

Even now, pieces of love stay in my body

私の願い 私の願いはただ

My wish, my only wish

どうかあなたが幸せで ありますように

Is for you to be happy, somehow

...

...

Unlasting love

Unlasting love

The course of love

The course of love

From wherever they think of you

From wherever they think of you

...

...
