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

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.
