Lyrics & Translation

[Japanese]

[English]

雪がまた降って僕を見た 呼吸をやめた僕がいた

The snow falls again, and I saw myself, I was holding my breath.

繋いだ手のあたたかさは 言葉よりも正解だった

The warmth of our intertwined hands was more right than words.

壊し合って 救い合ってた

We were breaking each other and saving each other.

心を失くしてなかったなら

If I hadn't lost my heart,

あなたを 傷付けずにいれたの

I could have kept from hurting you.

いつかは 素直に泣けるかな

Will I be able to cry honestly someday?

こんなに誰かを夢見るなんて

I never knew I could dream of someone this much.

獣になった僕を 抱き締めてくれた

You embraced me, the beast I had become.

何処にいるの？ もう忘れたの？

Where are you? Have you already forgotten?

馬鹿みたいねって また笑ってよ

It’s silly, isn’t it? Just laugh again.

嘘でもいいから

Even if it’s a lie,

あなたが僕を見つめてた 耐え切れなくて 穢してた

You were gazing at me, and I couldn’t bear it, I was tainted.

誰より守りたかったのに 誰より絶望させていた

I wanted to protect you more than anyone, yet I made you despair more than anyone.

怖がってたのに とまらなかった

I was scared, yet I couldn’t stop.

あなたは平凡な僕に起きた奇跡かな

Are you the miracle that happened to my ordinary self?

今更気づいても

Even if I realize it now,

僕のせいで 訪れなかった未来ばかりを

I keep thinking about the future that never came because of me.

考えてる 可笑しいね

It’s funny, isn’t it?

獣になった僕を 抱き締めてくれた

You embraced me, the beast I had become.

振り払ってまで 手に入れたのに

Even though I obtained it by shaking it off,

雪がまた降って 僕を見つめた ねぇ 何処にいるの？

The snow falls again, and I stared at myself, hey, where are you?

感情壊れてた僕を 止める方法は

The way to stop the broken emotions I had

あなたを失うことだったなんて

was to lose you, it turns out.

馬鹿みたいねって また笑ってよ

It’s silly, isn’t it? Just laugh again.

嘘でもいいから

Even if it’s a lie,
