[English]

ああ ずっと繰り返してた

ずっと悲しませてばかりだった

ああ きっとあなたさえも傷付けて

僕は動けぬまま

...

ああ あなたに触れる事が

何故 こんなに苦しいのですか？

きっと 同じ事を繰り返しあなたを

失ってしまうのが怖かったから

寄り添う事で拭おうとした

忘れ切れなかった日を

あなたは何も聞かずに

この手を握ってくれたね

明日あなたの気持ちが離れても

きっと変わらず愛している

明日あなたに僕が見えなくても

きっと変わらず愛している

I will walk together

To future not promised, yeah

It keeps walking together

To the future in which you are

...

辛い事さえ

忘れるくらい

あなたを想っている

会えない夜を

数える度に

焦がれる胸

かけ違いの寂しさ募る

どうか一人きりで泣かないで

どんなに離れていても

信じ合える二人でいよう

どうかこのまま笑っていたい

あなたを傷付けさせないで

時が経つ度 薄れて行った

あんな想い 繰り返したくない

明日あなたの気持ちが離れても

きっと変わらず愛している

明日あなたに僕が見えなくても

きっと変わらず愛している

どうか 僕だけを 見つめていて

I will walk together

どうか この手が 解けぬよう

I will walk together

I will walk together

To future not promised, yeah

It keeps walking together

To the future in which you are

To the future in which you-

Are
