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

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 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 振り返ることも忘れて 駆け抜けたcring days are prassed so far away... いつの時代も変わらないもの 閉ざしたあの部屋の中で 見失ってる kick in the teeth 失望が 明日へのドアを閉ざす 悲しい現実 目を合わせずに 手を振れば lonely so lonely ちざれたイニシャルの 一つ一つが 夢に流されて my memories empty I feel... せめて今夜だけ夢見させて wow wow my memories 孤独の強がり鏡の向こうで見た my roots |
