Watashi no kuchibiru ga Hitotsu USO wo tsuita
Sore wa sasai na riyuu kara de
Dare no tame de mo naku Tada orokana jibun wo
Mamoru tame dattan darou
Kigatsuita goro ni wa Kazoe kirenu USO ni
Kakomarete ugokenaku natteta
Nasu sube mo naku
Miageta sora kirei deshita
Kimi no koto wo omoimashita
Kimi no you ni tsuyoku mae wo muite
Aruite iketara to...
Sonna michi no tochuu Genjitsu kara nigeta
Arayuru itami kara mo nigeta
Ima wa konna dakedo Itsuka risou toori no
Jibun ni naru no dakara to
Iiwake shita ato de Ii kagen mezameta
Dekiru koto wa ima wo ikinuku koto dake datta
Konna koe wa todokimasuka?
Kimi no mune e hibikimasuka?
Kimi no se wo ikiru michishirube ni
Kyou mo aruitemasu
Miageta sora kirei deshita
Kimi no koto wo omoimashita
Kimi no you ni tsuyoku mae wo muite
Aruite iketara to...
Konna koe wa todokimasuka?
Kimi no mune e hibikimasuka?
Kimi no se wo ikiru michishirube ni
Kyou mo aruitemasu
ENGLISH translation:
My lips told a
lie
For a trivial reason
I suppose it was for no one else
But only to protect me
When I was thoughtless
When I noticed, I was trapped and at a loss
Surrounded by countless lies
(*) The sky I looked up at was beautiful
I thought of you
I wished I could walk with firm steps
Facing forward like you
But I escaped from the reality
Escaped from all the pain
I said to myself
"I'll be my ideal self some day
Though I'm far from that now"
After such excuses, my eyes were opened
What I could do was only to live in the present time
(**) Does this voice reach you?
Does it ring in your heart?
I'm walking on today
Looking at your back as a guidepost to live
(*) repeat
(**) repeat
