Dare mo ga utsumuku machi （Dead or Alive）

Kawaita kaze fukinuketeku

Hikari motometa hitomi （Dead or Alive）

Utsuru no ha zetsubou dake

Dare ni mo todokanai sakebi

Sagasu sono te de tomete

Nani mo kamo kowareta sekai de

Wake mo wakaranai mama ni

Fureta yasashisa ga mada kowakute

Ana no aita kokoro no sukima

Umete kureru hito ha kimi nano?

Erande Date A Live

Shizuka ni uzuku itami （Dead or Alive）

Mata meguri kurikae shiteku

Kono arasoi no owari （Dead or Alive）

Nokoru no ha zetsubou dake?

Dare ni mo iyasenai omoi

Fureta sono te de tomete

Dare mo ka mina kobamu sekai de

Nani mo kizutsukezu koko ni

Irareru sube ha mitsukaranakute

Yariba mo naku kieru kanjou

Kimi nara uketomete kure no?

Oshiete Date A Live

Yureru tomadoi (waka to hakai)

Osaekirenai (hitori samayou)

Kousa suru sorezore no seigi

Mebaeru kitai (dakedo hontou ha)

Shinjite mitai nanika kawaru nara

Nani mo kamo nakushite sekai de

Sashi dasareta te no saki ni

Hajimete nanika mieta ki ga shite

Tsutanakute mo sukoshi zutsu demo

Kono boyaketa kimochi motto

Kakushin ni chikadzukete

Ugoki dashita watashi no kokoro

Kaete kureru hito ha kimi nano?

Erande Date A Live

誰もがうつむく街（Dead or Alive）

乾いた風　吹き抜けてく

光　求めた瞳 （Dead or Alive）

映るのは絶望だけ

誰にも届かない叫び

探すその手で　止めて

何もかも　壊れた世界で

理由（わけ）もわからないままに

触れた優しさが　まだ怖くて

穴の開いた　心のスキマ

埋めてくれる人はキミなの？

選んで　Date A Live

静かに疼く痛み（Dead or Alive）

また巡り　繰り返してく

この争いの終わり（Dead or Alive）

残るのは絶望だけ？

誰にも癒せない　想い

触れたその手で止めて

誰にも皆　拒む世界で

何も傷つけず　ここに

いられる術が　見つからなくて

やり場もなく　消える感情

キミなら受け止めてくれの？

教えて　Date A Live

揺れる戸惑い（和解と破壊）

抑えきれない（独り彷徨う）

交差する　それぞれの正義

芽生える期待（だけど本当は）

信じてみたい　何か変わるなら

何かも　失くして世界で

差し出された手の先に

初めて何か見えた気がして

拙くても　少しずつでも

このぼやけた気持ち　もっと

確信に近づけて

動き出した　ワタシの心

変えてくれる人はキミなの？

選んで　Date A Live

Everyone is downcast in this city（Dead or Alive）

where a dry wind blows through

My eyes sought for the light （Dead or Alive）

But all they saw was despair

My scream can’t reach anyone

So stop me with your very hands that I’m looking for

In this world where just about everything is broken

I never understood why

But I’m still scared of the kindness that I touched

There’s a gaping hole in my heart

Are you the one who will fill it?

Make your choice, Date A Live

A dull pain aches in me （Dead or Alive）

It comes back again and again

At the end of this war （Dead or Alive）

Is despair all that’s left?

No one can fix how I feel

So stop me with your very hands that I touched

In this world rejected by every single person

I can’t find a way to stay here

without hurting anything

I don’t know where to put my fading emotions

But will you accept them?

Please tell me, Date A Live

I waver in hesitation (between compromise and destruction)

I can’t control myself (wandering alone)

Our own senses of justice cross paths

My anticipation grows (but the truth is)

I want to believe in you, if something is going to change

In this world where just about everything is lost

I felt like I could see something

at the tip of your outstretched hand for the first time

My vague feelings

may be awkward and making slow progress

But they’re becoming more certain

My heart is in motion

Are you the one who will change it?

Make your choice, Date A Live
