Lyrics
Japanese
「あの時」は見えなかった 「今だから」みえろモノ 掴めば消えてしまう 深すぎて進めないまま 隠した鼓動届かない あなたの瞳 私は見えない TEARS 悲しみにおぼれ落ちてゆく真実を抱いて生きてゆく 届かぬ思い 手を伸ばし 心伝えて・・・ It doesn't reach you, deep sorrow. Endless secret love.
Romaji
"ano toki" wa mienakatta "ima dakara" mieru mono tsukameba kiete shimau fukasugite susumenai mama kakushita kodou todokanai anata no hitomi watashi wa mienai TEARS kanashimi ni obore ochite yuku shinjitsu wo daite ikite yuku todokanu omoi te wo nobashi kokoro tsutaete... It doesn't reach you, deep sorrow. Endless secret love.
