I’m so sick of singing the sadness away Is living this lie worth the price that I pay Is this the answer to all my mistakes? Then take the music away imi ga aru mono nanimo nokosenai nara boku no sonzai sura nakaatta mitai da kikoeta no wa tada… (If I can’t leave anything meaningful behind Then did I ever even exist? The only thing that could be heard was…) imamade tsumi ageta subete ga kudakechiru oto (The sound of everything I had built Come crashing down) yume nante aa iissou sutete shimaeba raku nano ni sore demo kono koe wa mata utau (Ah, it would be easier just to throw this dream away Then maybe the pain would stop Yet this voice sings again) [anata wa boku no subetedatta tomoni warai tomoni naita hibi wa ima to natte wa tada no omoide ni shika suginai tatoe boku ga ‘shinjite tsudzukero’ tte itte mo onaji kanashimi no merodii o nandomo nandomo utau no wa nasakenaikedo kimi o shitsubou sa senai tame ni tatoe shippai shite mo kondo wa chanto miokutte agerukara ne] ([You were everything I ever had The days we laughed and cried together Are now nothing more than a memory Even if I say to ‘keep believing’ I’m stuck in a cycle of singing the same sad melody over and over again Just so I don’t disappoint you Even if I failed, I’ll make sure to properly see you off this time])
