Jibun nanka dame da to omoikomu kotoThinking that you’re just no good,
Ga ichiban dame na kotois the worst thing you can do.
Sonna koto mo wakannee de ikiten no kaYou living life without even knowing that?
Yattenai no ni mou yametai to kaSaying you wanna quit before you’ve even tried?
Jibun ga shiawase ka nante jibun igai niDon’t ever let anyone else but yourself
Zettai kimesasen na yodecide whether you’re happy or not.
Attamete yaru yo kono saki moI’ll keep things heated from here on out,
Issho ni ikou yo doko made molet’s keep going together, no matter how far.
Kanjiru koto o yametara owariIf you stop feeling things, it’s over.
Honmono mo pachimon mo minna onajiThe real deals and the fakes, they’re all the same.
