Arasoiatte kowareka kattaWe fought each other until everything nearly broke,
Kono ochamena hoshi deon this mischievous little planet.
Umare ochita hikara yoso monoI’ve been an outsider since the day I was born.
Namida kare hatetaMy tears have all run dry.
Kaeriyuku basho wa yume no nakaThe only place I could return to was inside a dream.
Kobore ochita saki de deattaI met you at the place where I finally fell through,
Tada himitsu wo kakaejust carrying our own secrets.
Futsuu no furi wo shita anata toWith you, who also pretended to be normal,
Sagashi akirametaI gave up on searching.
Watashi no ibasho wa tsukuru mono dattaI realized my place of belonging was something I had to build.
Ano hi kawashitaOn that day, we exchanged,
Chi ni masaru monosomething much stronger than blood,
Kokoro tachi no keiyaku woa contract between our hearts.
