本当は 誰よりも 心細かったよ

Honestly, I was more scared than anyone else

But もう 振り返らない 逃げない

But I won't look back anymore, I won't run away

Gonna SHINE like a flower

輝くの 記憶をまとって 光あれ

Shining, wrapped in glowing memories, shine bright

だけど 後悔する 時間などない

But there's no time for regrets

Life is complicated 当たり前のこと

Life is complicated, it's natural

私なりの方法で 挑むわ

I'll face it in my own way

この暗闇さえも 力に 変えてくの

たとえ 見失っても 泣かない

Even if I lose my way, I won't cry
