Naku no wa wagamama na koto to shinjiteitaI used to believe that crying was just being selfish,
Monokuro no uramichi o hashirinukete kitaso I ran right through these monochrome backstreets,
Deai nante yosou mo sezu ni kono machi denever expecting to find a real connection in this town.
Moroi sadame to shitteru yo dore hodo tsuyoi inori demoI know our fate is fragile, no matter how hard I pray,
Rakugaki mitai ni kesareteku taisetsu na omoide madeand even precious memories get erased like scribbles on a wall.
Sore demo te o nobasu seiippai itsuka bokura yurusareru naraStill, I’ll reach out with everything I have, if we’re ever to be forgiven.
Shiawase no imi ni tadoritsukitai ndaI want to finally understand what happiness really means,
misaka ni tomoru kono kawaii hi o mamorouand protect this lovely light that glows upon the slope.
Ki ga tsukeba yubisaki mo yogoreta mama deBefore I knew it, my fingertips were stained with dirt,
Sabitsuita doanobu ikutsu mawashita kkeand I’ve lost count of how many rusted doorknobs I’ve turned.
Kinou to onaji dare mo inai to omottetaJust like yesterday, I thought there was no one here.
Seikai wa kore janai no kamo yarinaoshi nagara susumou kaMaybe this isn’t the right answer, but let’s keep going as we try again.
Koerarenai saku o koete iku setsunasa o bane ni kaeteI’ll cross the uncrossable fences, using this heartache as a spring to leap.
Kimi ga iru sekai no tsuzuki ni furetai moshimo bokura yurusareru naraI want to touch the future of a world where you exist, if we’re ever to be forgiven.
Toraware no musubime o hodokitai ndaI want to untie the knots that have held us captive,
Kasuka dakeredo atatakai hi o mamorouand protect this light that’s faint, but so warm.
Namariiro no kumo no sukima kara mizuiro ga chiisaku mieru karaSince I can see a tiny patch of blue through the gaps in these leaden clouds,
Shitamukazu ni sugu okiagaru esoragoto to warawarete moI won’t look down; I’ll get right back up, even if they laugh and call it a pipe dream.
Yamenai yo te o nobasu seiippai itsuka bokura yurusareru naraI won’t stop; I’ll reach out with all I have, if we’re ever to be forgiven.
Shiawase no imi ni tadoritsukitai ndaI want to finally understand what happiness really means,
