Doushite naiteiru no
Doushite mayotteru no 
Doushite tachidomaru no 
Ne~ oshiete
Itsukara otona ni naru 
Itsumade kodomo de ii no
Doko kara hashitte kite 
Ne~ dokomade hashiru no 
Ibasho ga nakatta   Mitsukaranakatta
Mirai ni wa kitai   dekiru no ka   wakarazu ni
Itsumo tsuyoi ko dane tte iwaretszuketeta
Nakanaide erai ne tte homeraretari shiteita yo
Sonna kotoba hitotsu mo nozondenakatta
Dakara wakaranai furi o shiteita
Doushite waratteru no 
Doushite soba ni iru no 
Doushite hanareteku no 
Ne~ oshiete 
Itsukara tsuyokunatta 
Itsukara yowasa kanjita
Itsumade matteireba wakariaeru hi ga kuru 
Mou hi ga noboru ne    Sorosoro ikanayka 
Itsumademo onaji tokoro ni wa irarenai 
Hito o shinjiru koto tte itsuka uragirare 
Hanetsukerareru koto to onaji to omotteita yo 
Ano koro sonna chikara doko nimo nakatta 
Kitto ironna koto shirisugiteta 
Itsumo tsuyoi ko dane tte iwaretsuzuketeta 
Nakanaide erai ne tte homeraretari shiteita yo 
Sonna fuu ni mawari ga ieba iuhodo ni 
Warau koto sae kutsuu ni natteta 
Hitorikiri de umarete
Hitorikiri de ikiteyuku 
Kitto sonna mainichi ga atarimae to omotteta 
Why are you crying?
Why are you at a loss?
Why are you stopping?
Please tell me
Since when have you been grown up? 
Until how long do you want to be a child?
Where have you come running from?
How far will you run?
My whereabouts were lost, I couldn't find them
I don't know if I can anticipate anything for the future
I kept on being told I was a strong child 
"Because you don't cry, you're great," they have even praised 
I never wished for such words 
That's why I pretended to be unreasonable 
Why are you smiling?
Why are you by my side? 
Why are you going to leave? 
Please tell me 
Since when have you become strong? 
Since when did you feel weakness? 
I wonder how long I have to wait until the day 
we'll understand each other will come 
The sun is already rising, soon I must go
I don't want to always be in the same place
In time, people I believe will betray me 
I have thought it's like the same as being rejected
Those days such power was nowhere to be found 
Surely many things I've known too well
I kept on being told I was a strong child 
"Because you don't cry, you're great," they have even praised 
I never wished for such words 
That's why I pretended to be unreasonable.
We are born alone,
We will live alone 
I have thought that surely such a daily life is obvious
