[English]

Lately, winter has been forcing romance on me

It's everywhere, and I feel suffocated

I repeat my white sighs every day

But it's been colored, surely because I've fallen in love

I want to hold you right now, it's not just because of this winter

It's not just the season's fault

The night sky I saw by chance

Is beautiful, the moon is lovely

I probably can't tell you, though

My heart feels like it's going to burst

I'm so in love with you, it's almost painful

If I could put it into words

I wouldn't be this troubled

My emotions are all over the place because of you

I'm worried all day, every day

This isn't how it's supposed to be

We're not being ourselves, we're getting flustered

The more I grow up, the harder love becomes

I'm losing sight of my true feelings

What will be left of me after I've been hurt and broken?

I don't believe in relying on fate

But it's Christmas Eve, maybe something will happen

If the present is time with you

How happy would I be?

I want to see you tonight

I want to hold your cold, worn-out hands

But I'm probably not good enough

いたいけど

Just looking at you isn't enough for me

I want you to know me too

It's strange, I thought love was unimportant

But now I'm in love

I have nowhere to go, all I can do is hold you

It's not enough, it's painful

If things stay like this, it'll never end

It's just not enough that we met

I have to do something, I want to be by your side

Tonight, the moon is beautiful

I'm ashamed that I couldn't say it

But

If you smile, that's all I need

I want you to understand this pain and excitement in my heart

I want you to know everything

There are nights when I'm overwhelmed with tears

But even that is lovely to me

I won't give up, no matter what

Am I not good enough?

I love you, please accept that

Please take it from me

[Japanese]

最近の冬は 無理矢理のロマンチックが

そこら中にあって 息が詰まるけど

白いため息を 繰り返す毎日が

色付いたのはきっと 恋をしたから

僕が今君を抱きしめたいのは

この冬のせいだけじゃないよ

ふと見た夜空は

月が綺麗だな

君にはきっと言えないな

この胸が張り裂けそうで

泣きそうなくらい愛しく思ってる

言葉にできるなら

こんなに困ってないよ

一喜一憂 君のせいで

一日中 悩み悩まされて

こんなはずじゃなかった

僕らしくないな 取り乱して

大人になるほど恋は難しいな

素直な気持ちが 分からなくなって

当たって砕けて その後の僕には

一体何が残るんだろう

神頼みなんて 信じちゃいないけど

聖夜なんだ もしかしたらあるかも

もしもプレゼントが 君との時間なら

どれだけ幸せだろう

今夜君に会いたくなって

寒さで悴んだ手を握って

いたいけど

僕じゃきっと役不足だな

ただ見つめるだけじゃ嫌で

君にも僕を知ってほしくて

おかしいな 恋なんて

どうでもいいと思っていたのに

行き場がないまま 抱えるだけ それじゃ辛くて

このままじゃ終われない

出会えてよかっただけじゃ辛い

どうにかして 君の横に

今夜月が綺麗だねって

言えない自分が情けなくて

でもね

君が笑えば 僕はそれだけで

この胸の痛みも ときめきも

全部全部分かって欲しいよ

泣きつかれて 大変な夜もあるけど

それさえも全部愛しくて

どうしたって諦められないから

僕じゃだめかな

愛してるのその上を

受け取って欲しいの
