koboreochita no wa
namida jyanaku inoru koe
miagete ita no wa
kumo no ue no taiyou

nemuru youni ikite ita
itsumo kodoku datta
kimi ni deau sono hi made wa
zutto zutto koko de

hitori demo utaeru
ai no uta ga aru toshite mo
hitori de wa sagasenai
ryoute ni fureta kono nukumori

kamen wo matoeba
wasurerareru kigashiteta
kioku wo shimatta
hako ni kagi wo kakete

anna kurai basho de sae
kimi wo mitsukedaseta
modoru koto ga dekinakute mo
motto motto tooku

hitorikiri oboeta
ai no uta ga aru toshite mo
hitori de wa todokanai
doa no mukou de matsu ashita e
koko kara mou ichido arukidasu
with you...

kanashimi wo yasashisa ni
kaete miseru kara
itsuka wa kanarazu
hontou no jibun wo yurusetara
itami mo kieteku
kitto

hitori demo utaeru
ai no uta wa mou iranai
hitori de wa sagasenai
hidamari no youna kono nukumori
kimi to nara sagaseru
mita koto no nai ashita wo

*translation*
What spilled out
Wasn’t a tear but a praying voice
What I looked up at
Was the sun above the clouds

I was living like I was asleep
I was always alone
Until the day I met you
I was always, always here

Even if there’s a love song
I could sing by myself
This warmth from the touch of your arms
Can’t be found alone

If I had put on a mask
Then I felt I might have forgotten
I shut away my memories
And locked them in a box

Even in that dark place
I was able to find you
Even if I can’t return
I’ll keep going farther, farther

Even if there’s a love song
That recalls loneliness
I can’t reach it alone
So I’ll walk out once more
Toward the door to tomorrow
With you…

I’ll transform sadness
Into kindness
And someday
Once I’ve set my true self free
The pain will disappear
I know it

I don’t need a love song
I can sing by myself anymore
I can’t find it alone
But with you I know
We can find a place where the sun shines
A tomorrow I’ve never seen
