君の胸の中で僕はどんなふうに呼ばれてるかな？

友達の二文字が答えってそんなの分かってんだよ

二人過ごしてる時間は自然と笑顔になるけど

ズキってするこの心は嘘をついてくれない

このままなんて嫌なのに

会えなくなるよりいいかな

今日はうまく笑えないよ

ほっぺたが少しおかしい

一歩踏み出せれば もっと

この距離は縮まっていくのに

もどかしいよ

前だけは見れないよ

一歩踏み出したら きっと

もう戻れなくなるから今日も

胸に秘めたままで

僕は弱虫だ

Kimi no mune no naka de boku wa don'na fū ni yoba re teru ka na?

Tomodachi no nimoji ga kotae tte son'na no wakattenda yo

Futari sugoshi teru jikan wa shizen to egao ni narukedo

Zuki tte suru kono kokoro wa uso o tsuite kurenai

Kono mama nante iyananoni

Aenaku naru yori ī ka na

Kyō wa umaku waraenai yo

Hoppeta ga sukoshi okashī

Ippo fumidasereba motto

Kono kyori wa chijimatte iku no ni

Modokashī yo

Mae dake wa mirenai yo

Ippo fumidashitara kitto

Mō modorenaku naru kara kyō mo

Mune ni himeta mama de

Boku wa yowamushi da

I wonder how I am known as in your heart

I know that the answer to that is the two letter word ‘friend’

When we are spending time together, I smile easily

But this heart that throbs suddenly doesn’t want to lie

Though I don’t want for (things) to continue like this

But it is better than not seeing you at all

Today I couldn’t laugh as I always do

My cheeks felt a little strange

Though I know that if I took just more step forward

This distance will become shorter

It is frustrating

I cannot look forward

Because if I took one more step forward

I cannot go back to where I was, so, today again

I will keep it all hidden in my heart

I am a coward

一歩踏み出したら きっと

もう戻れなくなるから今日も

胸に秘めたままで

僕は弱虫だ

君と歩いてる時間は自然と斜め後ろにいる

横顔は真っ直ぐ見れない

それでもがんばってんだよ

「大丈夫？」って聞かれてもそう答えるしかないだろ

ごめんうまく話せないよ

涙腺も少しおかしい

いっそ今のままで… ずっと

この距離のままでいいなんて思えないよ

君だけを見てるんだ

一歩踏み出すには もっと

強い人になってからじゃないと

壊れてしまいそう

僕は嘘つきだ

雲の隙間から見えた夕日

派手なオレンジが胸に空いた穴を照らしてく

出口はなくても本当の気持ちなんだ

一歩踏み出せれば もっと

この距離は縮まっていくのに

もどかしいよ

前だけは見れないよ

一歩踏み出したら きっと

もう戻れなくなるから今日も

But it is better than not seeing you at all

My cheeks felt a little strange

Though I know that if I took just more step forward

It is frustrating

I cannot look forward

Because if I took one more step forward

I cannot go back to where I was, so, today again

I will keep it all hidden in my heart

I am a coward

The time I spend walking with you is slanting away from reality

I cannot look at your face directly

Even then I’m trying my best

When asked if I was ok, there is nothing else to do except to say yes, right?

I’m sorry…I cannot say it properly

My tear glands are a bit strange

Always continuing like how it is now…forever

I’m not thinking that the distance between us now is enough

I’m looking only at you

In order to take one more step forward

I have to become much stronger first

Otherwise, it feels like I would break

I am a liar

The setting sun through the clouds

Is illuminating the hole in my heart with a brilliant orange colour

Even if there is no exit, these feeling are real

Though I know that if I took just more step forward

This distance will become shorter

It is frustrating

I cannot look forward

Because if I took one more step forward

I cannot go back to where I was, so, today again

I will keep it all hidden in my heart

I am a coward
