他の人とは違ってた君のまわりの色は

曖昧に微笑んでそっと目を逸らした

優しい嘘ならいいとルールを決めていた

それに君は気が付いていた

君が気が付いている事に僕も気が付いていた

傷つけたくはないけれど君をもっと知りたい

本当の事はいつも目の奥にある

傷つきたくはないけれど僕は知ってほしいよ

青春は残酷じゃない 目を合わせてよ

他の人とは違ってた　君の周りの色は

あいまいに微笑んで　そっと目をそらした

優しい嘘ならいいとルールを決めていた

それに君は気がついていた

君が気がついていることに僕も　気がついていた

傷つけたくはないけれど　君をもっと知りたい

本当のことはいつも　目の奥にある

傷つきたくはないけれど　僕を知ってほしいよ

青春は残酷じゃない　目を合わせてよ

[この先はFULLバージョンのみ]

魚の群れが翻る　こうは生きられないな

美しさを根拠に　全て判断してた

何を考えてるの　不思議な表情で

ビー玉が転がっていく

どこへ行くかも分からないけれど　輝いていた

浅瀬の水をすくって　光にかざして

本当の気持ちいつも　透明だった

夢見がちな僕らは　疑いもしないで

青春を信じきってた　海も見ないで

壊れそう　壊しそう　さよならが苦手なのは

傷つける以外の方法が　分からないからさ

お互い同じときに同じこと思った

実はちょっとくらいは　相性よかったかもね

本当のこと全部　君に伝えられた

だから　青春は残酷じゃない

だってきれいだった

勝手かも知れないけど

輝いていた

Youth Isn't A Tragedy

The colors surrounding you, so different from other people,

Had the vaguest smile - I had to avert my eyes.

I'd made a rule for myself, saying it's okay to tell white lies,

But you had seen right through me...

... and I was seeing right through... the fact you'd seen right through me.

I don't want to hurt you, though I do want to get to know you better;

The truth is always hidden deep within our eyes.

I don't want to get hurt, but I want you to know,

Youth isn't a tragedy... so look me straight in the eyes!

Youth Isn't A Tragedy

The colors surrounding you, so different from other people,

Had the vaguest smile - I had to avert my eyes.

I'd made a rule for myself, saying it's okay to tell white lies,

But you had seen right through me...

... and I was seeing right through... the fact you'd seen right through me.

I don't want to hurt you, though I do want to get to know you better;

The truth is always hidden deep within our eyes.

I don't want to get hurt, but I want you to know,

Youth isn't a tragedy... so look me straight in the eyes!

A group of fish is fluttering, we can’t live like this, can we?!

I judged everything based on beauty

What are you thinking with that mysterious expression?

Like a ball that is sliding

Not knowing where you’re going, just shining

Just like saving shallow water by decorating it in the light

The true feelings were transparent

The daydreaming us stopped doubting

Without looking at the ocean, we came to believe in youth

It seems to break, it’s going to break and I’m not good at goodbyes

I don’t know other ways than getting hurt

The both of us thought the same thing at the same time

Truthfully it’s a bit dark but our compatibility might have been good

I want to tell you the whole truth, that’s why

Youth is not cruel

It’s just that you were so beautiful

Although it may have been selfish of me

You were shining
