Lyrics[]
| Japanese | Romaji | English |
| きっと二人は近づくほど愛が逃げていく | kitto futari wa chikazuku hodo ai ga nigete iku | Surely love is escaping us at the rate we’re getting closer. |
| 赤い糸何度も解けて結んで | akai ito nando mo hodokete musunde | I’ll retie our red thread no matter how many times it comes undone, |
| いっそこのまま何処か遠い遠い別の場所 | isso kono mama dokoka tooi tooi betsu no basho | But the way things are going, I’d rather be somewhere else far, far away. |
| 二人で行けたらいいのにね | futari de iketara ii no ni ne | If only the two of us could go there... |
| わびしい街のさもしい灯り | wabishii machi no samoshii akari | I found your house after emerging from |
| 抜けて君の家を見つけた | nukete kimi no ie o mitsuketa | This wretched town’s rows of unsightly lights. |
| 坂の上の赤い屋根の | saka no ue no akai yane no | You spend your days |
| 家に君は暮らしているんだね | ie ni kimi wa kurashite irun da ne | In that red-roofed house on the hill. |
| 僕は想う 強く願う | boku wa omou tsuyoku negau | I believe—at least, I hope so much— |
| 変わらないままの君をいつか捕まえる | kawaranai mama no kimi o itsuka tsukamaeru | That someday I’ll catch you, who are unchanging as ever. |
| どんな悲しい別れすら出会いの前触れで | donna kanashii wakare sura deai no maebure de | “However sad your parting, your meeting was foretold |
| 仕方がない事 容易く言うけど | shikata ga nai koto tayasuku iu kedo | And there’s no helping that.” Easy for them to say, |
| そんな悲しみ痛み苦しみの一つさえも | sonna kanashimi itami kurushimi no hitotsu sae mo | But I’d prefer if I could settle matters without tasting |
| 味あわないで済みゃいいのにね | aji awanaide sumya ii noni ne | Even a spoonful of such sadness, pain, and suffering. |
| 誰かが君を嫌う理由で | dareka ga kimi o kirau riyuu de | The reasons people hate you are reason enough |
| 僕は君が好きだ いつでも | boku wa kimi ga suki da itsu demo | For me to love you forever. |
| 君が嫌う君が欲しい | kimi ga kirau kimi ga hoshii | I want you, no matter how much you hate yourself. |
| 僕も僕を好きにはなれないな | boku mo boku o suki ni wa narenai na | It’s not like I can come to love myself either, after all. |
| 深い闇が包む夜は | fukai yami ga tsutsumu yoru wa | On a night engulfed by deep darkness, |
| 透き通るような愛で僕を慰めて | sukitooru you na ai de boku o nagusamete | Comfort me with a love that might as well be transparent. |
| 嗚呼 未来は今日も淡々と | aa mirai wa kyou mo tantan to | Ah, the future is full of things that, in a detached way, |
| 僕らを泣かせる事ばかりだな | bokura o nakaseru koto bakari da na | Make us cry once again today. |
| 燃ゆる君の灯に縋り生きる | moeyuru kimi no hi ni sugari ikiru | I’ll cling to your flaming light |
| 僕は 僕は | boku wa boku wa | And live on, live on. |
| 呪いは未だ解けぬままだ | noroi wa imada tokenu mama da | The curse still remains unbroken. |
| 慣れただけで傷も減ってないけどさ | nareta dake de kizu mo hettenai kedo sa | Not even the number of my scars is decreasing from getting used to that, |
| その灯がもし消えそうなら | sono hi ga moshi kiesou nara | But I wouldn’t mind if you set my entire being afire |
| 僕の全部を燃やしてくれても構わないから | boku no zenbu o moyashite kurete mo kamawanai kara | Should your light ever look like it’s going to go out, |
| 忘れないで僕の中で君が生きる事を | wasurenaide boku no naka de kimi ga ikiru koto o | So don’t forget that you are living within me. |
