Lyrics
 Japanese Rōmaji 

Kono omoi wo keshite shimau niwa mada jinsei nagai desho?

Yarinokoshi te'ru koto yarinaoshite mitai kara

Yume no tsuzuki oikakete ita hazu nano ni

Magarikunetta hosoi michi hito ni tsumazuku

Ano koro mitai ni tte modoritai wakejanai no

Nakushite kita

sora wo sagashite'ru wakatte kuremasu you ni

Gisei ni natta you na kanashii kao wa yamete yo

Tsumi no saigo wa namida ja nai yo, zutto kurushiku seotte'ku n da

Deguchi mienai kanjou meiro ni dare wo matte'ru no?

Shiroi nooto ni tsuzutta you ni motto sunao ni hakidashitai yo

nani kara nogaretai n da…genjitsu tte yatsu?

Kanaeru tame ni ikite'ru n datte Sakebitaku naru yo Kikoete imasu ka?

Bunan ni nante yatte'rarenai kara…kaeru basho mo nai no

Yasashisa niwa itsumo kansha shite'ru Dakara tsuyoku naritai (I'm on the way)

Natsukashiku naru konna itami mo kangei jan

English
I've still got a lot of years ahead of me to just erase these feelings.

I want to go back and finish the things I've yet to finish.

I was supposed to be chasing after my ongoing dream.

Yet I faltered over others while walking this thin, winding path.

It’s not that I don’t want to return to those days. I’m searching for the sky that I lost.

Don’t make that sad face as if you’ve fallen victim, as if you want people to pity you.

Tears aren't the end of your sins. You have to beat them painfully forever.

Who are you waiting for in the maze of emotions, where you can’t even see the exit??

I want to blurt it out more justly. Just like how I wrote it in my white notebook.

What do you want to run from, that thing called reality?

I just want to scream out, ” I’m only living to fulfill my wish.” Can you hear me?

I can’t take the safe way out of everything... I don’t even have to a place to return to.

I’m always thankful for everyone’s kindness. That’s why I want to become stronger (I’m on the way.)

This is reminding me of the old days. This pain is alright with me.

夢の続き　追いかけていたはずなのに

曲がりくねった　細い道 人に躓く

あの頃にみたいにって　戻りたいわけじゃないの　なくしてきた空を 探してる 分かってくれます様に　犠牲になった様な　悲しい顔は やめてよ

罪の最後は涙じゃないよ　ずっと苦しく背負ってくんだ 出口見えない感情迷路に 誰を待ってるの 白いノートに綴った様に　もっと素直に吐き出したいよ 現実ってやつか
