Lyrics

Game Size

English Version

Waking up at midnight
Having no clue of what's wrong
Everything's not how it's meant to be
Covered in darkness?
You're always so far away
Shaking in deep fear of losing what
I have not had yet

※Tears in my eyes, ready to fall
  Please wash away the person
  In the mirror, now I'm gonna change!

Knock out regrets and say goodbye
(Just do it your way)
Then I can look life in her eyes?
No matter how things turn out

Knock out regrets and say goodbye
(Just live it your way)
I just want to be someone I can love
Only then you can love me

※repeat

Japanese Version

Japanese

大好きよ  100万回言っても
届かない  でも逢いたい
満たされない  想い LIKE A SOAP BUBBLE
いくつ飛ばしても  すぐ割れちゃうの

虹色  まぼろし
愛のない生物 LOVER
この地球にはいらないわ

憂鬱なカンケーに BYE-BYE
涙なんてあげない  強がってあげるよ
赤い顔して  AI-AI
いつか出会うその日まで  とりあえず LOVE ME

たまには  ミラクル
起こるかも MAYBE
顔あげて  歩こう

憂鬱なアタシに BYE-BYE
後悔なんてしない  爽快な気分よ
感じて  生きてく MY LIFE
昨日までのアタシよ  さようなら BYE-BYE
