Lyrics

Japanese

降りしきる雨にぬれてた　ノラ犬のように
hope ＆ fears 誰もが
いつも何かに　おびえながら
目にした　たった一つのstyle　幻のような
only one　彼らが残したドアを開ける

彩どる悲しみ　何を求めて
潰される　16 to 18
失うものばかりのカラのheartで
信じ裏切られ…

my memories, empty i feel...
せめて一つだけ　夢を見せて
wow wow...
my memories
最後の泣き顔　鏡の向こうで見た
my roots

Romaji

furishikiru ame ni nureteta nora inu no you ni
hope and fears daremo ga
itsumo nanika ni obienagara
me ni shita tatta hitotsu no style maboroshi no you na
only one karera ga nokoshita doa wo akeru

irodoru kanashimi nani wo mutomete
tsubusareru 16 to 18
ushinau mo no bakari kara no heart de
shinji uragirare...

my memories, empty I feel...
semete hitotsu dake yume wo misete
wow wow...
my memories
saigo no naki kao kagami no mukou de mita
my roots
