Composition/Arrangement: Asakura Daisuke

hitori de wa, tooi ashita o yoake no mama de, koesou de BUTSUkatte-ikya, KOKEru omoi yo kon'ya mo mata, surechigai With a daybreak like this, I feel as if I can cross the distant tomorrow alone. If I keep fighting with my emotions, they'll break down And we'll cross paths (disagree) again tonight.

[Instrumental Break] [Instrumental Break]

sanzan sugite doryoku no ato mo nakunaru kekka only no tsunawatari yaru dake son suru yo na mainichi wa sha ni kamaeteta hou koso raku ni naru It's all too extreme. Even the marks left behind by all my efforts are only diminishing results, and as much as I try to walk that tightrope, I only end up a loser every day. It'd be easier for me to just take a cynical attitude.

(atsukute) tsurai (jibun wo) kakushite (mijikai) toki o ikite'ru Burn like Hell, hiding myself, living only a short time

hitori de wa, tooi ashita o yoake no mama de, koesou de houttokeba, hashiru omoi yo yume mo mata, surechigai With a daybreak like this, I feel as if I can cross the distant tomorrow alone. If I just leave it be, my emotions would race and cross paths (disagree) with my dreams again

kanpeki to chau, jinsei no shuushi PURA MAI · ZERO da nanteba HONTO ka na? shinu made ni tsukaikiru un no kazu semete jibun de dashi'ire o sasete The balance sheet of my life ain't perfect. Wonder if the plusses and minuses really add up to zero? I'll make the most of my luck, until I die, so at least let me determine how much I give and take on my own.

(WAKATcha) inai (kimi nara) dou ni demo (rikutsu o) kaete ii no ni I don't understand, but you can change your logic at your will.

nando kimi ni, ketsumazuite mo modotte kichau, aijou ni shinjikaneru, utare tsuyosa yo kon'ya mo SO-TO-, nemurenai No matter how many times I stumble because of you, I will always return to our love. The strength that comes from being hurt is unbelievable! I won't sleep well again tonight.

[Instrumental Break] [Instrumental Break]

nando nankai, kurikaeshite mo modotte kichau, ai dakara BUTSUkatte-iku, kesenu omoi o semeru hou ga, sujichigai No matter how many times it repeats itself, I will always return, because it's love. Always colliding with and blaming these feelings I can't extinguish would be an even bigger mistake

hitori de wa, tooi ashita o yoake no mama de, koete yuku aishou yori mo, fukai futari wa surechigatte kamawanai With a daybreak like this, I will cross the distant tomorrow alone. We have something that goes deeper than affection, so I don't mind if we cross paths (disagree) with each other.

hitori de wa, tooi ashita o yoake no mama de, koesou de BUTSUkatte-ikya, KOKEru omoi yo kon'ya mo mata, surechigai	With a daybreak like this, I feel as if I can cross the distant tomorrow alone. If I keep fighting with my emotions, they'll break down And we'll cross paths (disagree) again tonight.
