[English]

Don't try to hide it, shed a light

It's empty, laughing

A future without you

I know it, so I gotta tell you goodbye

Let's go to stay the same

Ahh

I will stay here for you

It's just only for you

If I look back, always

You were by my side, stand by me

Always the same way

I could hear that voice

Whenever, wherever

I'm by your side

I'm by your darkness

Tighter than loneliness, the knot is strong

Melting the sinking night

Ohh

Let me keep on dreaming

I've got a reason to believe

Shed a light for you

Be who you are

Be who you really are

...

Leaving behind the quiet anxiety

The bird that broke the cage flies away

Without saying where I'm headed

Kicking up the ground

I know I'll see you again

Let's go to remember

Ahh

I will stay here for you

It's just only for you

If I look back, always

You were by my side, stand by me

Always the same way

I could hear that voice

Whenever, wherever

I'm by your side

I'm by your darkness

...

I will stay here for you

It's just only for you

If I look back, always

You were by my side, stand by me

Always the same way

I could hear that voice

Whenever, wherever

I'm by your side

I'm by your darkness

I will stay here for you

It's just only for you

If I look back, always

You were by my side, stand by me

Always the same way

I could hear that voice

Whenever, wherever

I'm by your side

I'm by your darkness

Tighter than loneliness, the knot is strong

Melting the sinking night

Let me keep on dreaming

I've got a reason to believe

Shed a light for you

(I will stay here for you)

(It's just only for you) be who you are

Yeah, yeah, yeah (ahh)

(I will stay here for you) I'll stay

(It's just only for you)

(Ahh)

Ahh

...

[Japanese]

Don't try to hide it, shed a light

虚しくって笑うのは

君がいない未来を

わかってるから I gotta tell you good bye

変わらないために行こう

Ahh

I will stay here for you

It's just only for you

振り返れば ずっと

そばに stand by me

いつだって同じように

その声がしていた

Whenever wherever

I'm by your side

I'm by your darkness

孤独よりも深く 結び目は硬く

沈む夜を溶かす

Ohh

Let me keep on dreaming

I've got a reason to believe

Shed a light for you

Be who you are

Be who you really are

寝静まった不安を残し

カゴを壊した鳥は飛び立つ

向かう先も言わずに

蹴り上げた ground

I know I'll see you again

思い出すために行こう

Ahh

I will stay here for you

It's just only for you

振り返れば ずっと

そばに stand by me

いつだって同じように

その声がしていた

I'm by your side

I'm by your darkness

It's just only for you

そばに stand by me
