Dear...

紅く染まる街路樹　息が上がるよ

ガラスケースに映る、ぼくは　所在なさげで

誰かじゃないきみへと　うたう歌には

とくべつで　たいせつな　優しさ灯るよ

わらいあえない夜が、つづくほどに

心がくもりだして　不安だった

好きというだけじゃ、生きられない

もう一度、きみのもとへ

うちあけたいよ　目と目で紡いだ

ありのまますべて　投げ出していた

うつくしいひと　汚してる言葉

ゆるせないのは、ぼく自身で

見て見ぬふりをしてた　人混みの果て

誰にも声はかけられない　うずくまるたび

痺れる甘い記憶に、とらわれている

無邪気な　ため息に　積もる、懐かしさ

伝えたつもりになる日々が終わり

会話はないけれども　うれしそうで

口移してくれたのは、なぜなの？

もう二度と、会えないのに

つながれた糸　途切れてしまったよ

いま、どこで何を　しているのかな？

まもりたいひと　まもれない夜に

ながく眺めた、お月さまを

夢のなかでわたる　虹には

きみがまっているよ、だいすきな

かけだしたいけど、ちからがぬけていくのは

なぜだろう？

かなしみ

うちあけたいよ 目と目で紡いだ

ありのまますべて　投げ出していた

うつくしいひと　汚してる言葉

ゆるせないのは　ぼく自身で

ねむりたい　きみのなかで

ねむりたい　きみのあいで

Akaku somaru gairoju iki ga agaru yo

Garasu keesu ni utsuru boku wa shozai nasage de

Dareka janai kimi e to utau uta ni wa

Tokubetsu de taisetsu na yasashisa tomoru yo

Warai aenai yoru ga tsuzuku hodo ni

Kokoro ga kumori dashite fuan datta

Suki to yuu dake ja iki rarenai

Mou ichido kimi no moto e

Uchi aketai yo me to me de tsumuida

Ari no mama subete nagedashite ita

Utsukushii hito kegashiteru kotoba

Yurusenai no wa boku jishin de

Mite minu furi wo shiteta hitogomi no hate

Dare ni mo koe wa kake rarenai uzukumaru tabi

Shibireru amai kioku ni torawarete iru

Mujaki na tameiki ni tsumoru natsukashi sa

Tsutaeta tsumori ni naru hibi ga owari

Kaiwa wa nai keredo mo ureshi sou de

Kuchi utsushite kureta no wa naze na no?

Mou nidoto aenai no ni

Tsunagareta ito togirete shimatta yo

Ima doko de nani wo shite iru no ka na?

Mamoritai hito mamorenai yoru ni

Nagaku nagameta otsuki sama wo

Yume no naka de wataru niji ni wa

Kimi ga matte iru yo daisuki na

Kake dashitai kedo chikara ga

Nukete iku no wa

Naze darou kanashimi

Uchi aketai yo me to me de tsumuida

Ari no mama subete nagedashite ita

Utsukushii hito kegashiteru kotoba

Yurusenai no wa boku jishin de

Nemuritai kimi no naka de

Nemuritai kimi no ai de

By the trees by the road side dyed in red, I’m short of breath

I, who am reflected in the glass case, am in a state of boredom

Inside this song I sing to nobody else but you,

There lights a special and dear warmth

As the nights when we were unable to smile went on,

My mind began to cloud over with worry

I can’t live on ‘I love you’s alone

Once more, I shall go to where you are

I want to open my heart to you; I looked into your eyes like you did mine

I had thrown away everything that lay bare

For the words I defiled that beautiful person with,

The one I can’t forgive is myself

I pretended I didn’t see as far as the crowd of people went

I fail to call out to anybody each time I cower

The sweet memories that make me go numb now hold me captive,

Innocent sighs piling with nostalgia

The days when I was going to tell you have come to an end,

And though there’s no conversation between us, you look happy

Why did you feed me words

When we can’t ever meet again?

The string that bound us together got cut in the end

Where are you and what are you up to right now, I wonder?

The night I failed to protect the person I wished to protect,

I gazed up at the stars for ages

By the rainbow I cross over in my dreams,

You are waiting, oh how I love you so

I want to run off to where you are, but why

Am I Iosing strength in my legs?

Sorrow

I want to open my heart to you; I looked into your eyes like you did mine

I had thrown away everything that lay bare

For the words I defiled that beautiful person with,

The one I can’t forgive is myself

I wish to sleep inside of you

I wish to sleep in your love
