歌詞 | Lyrics

この町を出てゆく日が来る
まだできないことばかりで それでも頑張りたいよ
---
The day will come when I leave this town
Only, there are still things I can't do; even so, I want to try my best

ここからドコヘイクノ? ね、誰か教えてよ
---
WHERE DO I GO from here?
Hey, someone tell me.

あの場所があたしを待ってるから振り向かない
変えられない 大丈夫と言ってみるけど
ずっと泣いてる
---
That place is waiting for me, so I won't turn around
I can't change it
I try to say "I'm alright"
But I'm always crying

全てを忘れたい そう思った
もういらないものは捨てた だからあきらめないよ
---
I want to forget everything, that's what I thought
I've already thrown away the things I don't need, so I can't give up

ここからダレヲシンジル? もうウソをつくのはやめてよ
---
WHO DO I HAVE FAITH IN from now on?
Stop telling lies already

あの場所があたしを待ってるから振り向かない
変えられない 大丈夫と言ってみるけど
ずっと泣いてる
---
That place is waiting for me, so I won't turn around
I can't change it
I try to say "I'm alright"
But I'm always crying

きっと未来はこわいよね? みんな忘れたくなっても
忘れちゃいけない気がしてる
---
Surely the future is scary, right?
Even though I don't want to forget everyone, I have to forget
That's how I feel

この町を出てゆく日が来た
ずっと待っていた その日が来た
---
The day has come for me to leave this town
I was always waiting
That day has come

あの場所があたしを待ってたから振り向かない
ずっとずっと笑顔で生きたいから
もう泣かない
---
That place was waiting for me, so I won't turn around
I always, always want to live with a smile on my face
So I won't cry anymore
