Fuukashitetta puromisuPromises that have weathered away,
Oetsu shi kamikudakusobbing as I crush them between my teeth,
Itsuka koko ni kaerusomeday I’ll return to this place.
Kowarekitta shouenThe scent of smoke from a love destroyed,
Moetsuki den o tairasuburning out and leveling the ruins,
Ashita ni wa koko o saruI’ll be leaving here by tomorrow.
Matteinaide mae o miruI won’t stay waiting, I’m looking ahead
Zutto ushinatta ai no uchuat a universe of love that’s been lost forever,
Waratte koboreta namida o nuguusmiling while I wipe away the tears that fell,
Mou nakiteinaideso I don’t have to cry anymore.
Fuukashitetta puromisuBroken promises turned to dust,
Oetsu shi kamikudakuchoking on the pieces I’ve crushed,
Itsuka koko ni kaeruI’ll find my way back here someday.
Kowarekitta shouenIn the haze of this broken aftermath,
Moetsuki den o tairasueverything’s burnt out and cleared away,
Ashita ni wa koko o saruI’m walking away from here tomorrow.
Ubatte kudaita mirai o sukuuI’ll save the future that was stolen and shattered,
Oidashite tsuchikatta omae no chikyureclaiming the world you nurtured then cast me out of,
Kogoeteiru karara o tsutsumuI’ll wrap my arms around this shivering form,
Mou daremo shinanaideso no one has to die anymore.
Matteinaide mae o miruI’m not waiting around, I’m looking forward
Zutto ushinatta ai no uchuinto the void of a love long gone,
Waratte koboreta namida o nuguuI’ll smile as I brush away these spilled tears,
Mou nakiteinaidebecause I don’t want to cry again.
Fuukashitetta puromisuPromises that have eroded into nothing,
Oetsu shi kamikudakuI’m sobbing while I tear them apart,
Itsuka koko ni kaerubut I’ll return to this spot eventually.
Kowarekitta shouenThrough the smoke of what’s been destroyed,
Moetsuki den o tairasuI’ll burn it all down and start over,
Ashita ni wa koko o saruI’m leaving this place behind tomorrow.
