[English]

Even though I'm afraid of getting hurt, I end up hurting you

Why is it that I can't even try to walk a different path?

I just can't.

If I could be reborn

And if only we could have met

In a different way, things wouldn't have ended like this—but every time I close my eyes, I can't let you go.

[Vocals]

The liar is me.

[Music]

And you knew everything all along.

[Music]

It's too late to turn back the clock now, so let's just forget it all. I love you.

[Music]

Deep inside this void, lost in these endless dimensions, what am I even doing now?

Facing this wall, you remain just as you were, and as long as I keep moving, I'll just keep drifting further away.

I felt like I heard your voice for a moment.

Even though I already know, it has to be you; it can't be anyone else.

[Music]

It's so troublesome, isn't it? It's so painful.

But the one who wanted to see you

Was me all along.

[Music]

You knew everything.

There's nothing I can do at this late stage; I'm such a fool. But truly, I love you.

[Music]

[Music]

No matter how many thousands of times, I'll keep remembering you. No matter what, I'll keep thinking of you forever. The liar was me, and you knew everything.

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

Even if I can't turn back time, I'll keep reaching for you. I loved you.

[Japanese]

傷つくのが怖いのに傷つけてしまうのは

なんで別の道[音楽]も歩いてくのも歩く

ないよ

もしも生まれ変わるなら

違う出会い方

ができたら無過にしたのに目を閉じるた君が離れない

[歌声]

嘘つきは僕だんだ

[音楽]

君は全部分かってたて

[音楽]

今更巻き戻せないような忘れてしまおうね愛してる

[音楽]

らないの中は試せの高さと幅に今どうしたるのかな?

壁の向この君は君のまま動く続けるとそまたませてくの日

君の声の聞こえた気がした土[音楽]

もう気づいているのに君じゃなけりゃダメな

[音楽]

のにめんどくさいよね。つるよね。

でも君に会いた

きは僕だったんだ。

[音楽]

君は全部勝てた。

今さら何もできなのにバカだよな。本当で愛してるよ。

[音楽]

[音楽]

なんとでも何万回でも思い出す君のことはなんとても何万でもずっと君を嘘時は僕たんだ君は全部分かって

[音楽]

[音楽]

[音楽]

今から戻せなか届かないましてるよ。愛したぞ。

[音楽]
