Lyrics

BOY'S REASON

Japanese

Why did you go away
僕が選んだ結末はいつの日か未来へと繋がるだろう 

廻る季節の中「幸せ？」と問いかけてみた
君の目に幼い僕が映った 
傍にいて逸らさせても見失うよう
今はただ遠くから祈りたい

最後に見た君の優しき微笑みは
いつまでも胸の奥満たすのだろう 
出会って始まって寄り添った愛しき日たち
今も光り輝き続ける

(Why did you go away...)

Why did you go away
僕が選んだ結末はいつの日か未来へと繋がるだろう
出会って始まった想いは永久にこの胸に 
運命と信じたいほど愛してた

Romaji

Why did you go away
boku ga eranda ketsumatsu wa itsunohika mirai e to tsunagarudarou

meguru kisetsu no naka "shiawase?" to toikakete mita
kimi no me ni osanai boku ga utsutta
soba ni ite sorasa sete mo miushinau you
ima wa tada tooku kara inoritai

saigo ni mita kimi no yasashiki hohoemi wa
itsu made mo mune no oku mitasu nodarou
deatte hajimatte yorisotta itoshiki hitachi
ima mo hikari kagayaki tsuzukeru

(Why did you go away...)

Why did you go away
boku ga eranda ketsumatsu wa itsunohika mirai e to tsunagarudarou
deatte hajimatta omoi wa towa ni kono mune ni
unmei to shinjitai hodo aishiteta

GIRL'S SIGHT

English

Why did you go away?
Leaving me to mend this broken heart again
How can I go on?
When our love was so strong
Oh baby this beat goes on

How could you tell me love was our fate
How could you leave without explanation
That ain't the way our story should end
Cause I know feelings were real

I know everyday when the sun will rise
And at night the moon will shine
I'll still be standing here all alone wondering why why

Why did you go away?
Leaving me to mend this broken heart again
How can I go on?
When our love was so strong

Oh baby this beat goes on
And on And on
On and on and on
Tell me what went wrong
Baby now it's a sad love song
I'm standing here all alone and I'm crying

Why did you go away?

Why did you go away?
Leaving me to mend this broken heart again
How can I go on?
When our love was so strong
Oh baby this beat goes on
And on And on
On and on and on
Tell me what went wrong
To make it a sad love song
And I'm all alone
And the beat goes on and on
I'm all alone....
