Lyrics

Kanji	Romaji	English
眩しいキミを見ないフリした 今の僕には必要ないから 照らさないでよ　これ以上 いらない　何もいらないよ	mabushii kimi o minai furi shita ima no boku ni wa hitsuyou nai kara terasanai de yo kore ijou iranai nanimo iranai yo	I pretended not to notice the dazzling you Because I don't need your warmth now Don't shine it on me anymore I don't need it, I don't need anything
どんなに拒んだって 明るく射し込むんだ どうしようもなくキミは光で 素直になれなかったよ 今更だけどさ　分かったのに	donna ni koban datte akaruku sashi komunda doushiyou mo naku kimi wa hikari de sunao ni nare nakatta yo imasara dakedo sa wakatta no ni	No matter how much I reject it, it shines in brightly I can't deny it—you're my light I couldn't be honest with myself It’s much too late, but I finally realized
憧れていたんだ きっと最初会った時から 輝いて駆け抜けていく 後ろ姿　消えないでよずっと	akogareteita nda kitto saisho atta toki kara kagayaite kake nukete iku ushiro sugata kienai de yo zutto	I admired you Ever since the very first time we met You shine, racing forward Don’t let me lose sight of your back
ありがとうとかごめんって言葉 ここぞっていう時　言えないよいつも だけど今伝えなくちゃ ぎゅっと唇を噛んだ	arigatou toka gomentte kotoba koko zotteiu toki ienai yoitsu mo dakedo ima tsutae nakucha gyutto kuchibiru o kanda	Words like "thank you" and "sorry", I can never say them when I need to But I have to tell you now I bit my lips tightly
夕焼け空の下で 並んだふたつの影 キミは少し驚いて僕を見た もうすぐさよならなんだね 結局何にも言えないまま 追い越していく	yuuyake sora no shita de naranda futatsu no kage kimi wa sukoshi odoroite boku o mita mousugu sayonara nanda ne kekkyoku nani mo ienai mama oikoshite iku	Under the sunset sky, Two shadows side-by-side You looked at me, a little surprised It's soon goodbye, isn't it? In the end, I couldn't say anything I'll go on ahead
知らないうちに気持ちは膨らんでた まるで生き物だね　抑えても零れる まっすぐぶつかる強さも優しさも大好きだった	shiranai uchi ni kimochi wa fukurandeta maru de iki mono da ne osae temo koboreru massugu butsukaru tsuyosa mo yasashi sa mo daisuki datta	Before I knew it, my feelings had grown Like a living thing, it spills out even when restrained I loved your confronting strength yet comforting kindness
走り出す先にもうキミは　キミはいない でも見える　光の残像 時が経っても　いつまでもきっと	hashiri dasu saki ni mou kimi wa kimi wa inai demo mieru hikari no zanzou toki ga tattemo itsumademo kitto	Towards where I run, you’re no longer there But still I see it, the afterglow of light Even as time passes, it'll always be here
憧れていたんだ もう一緒にはいられないけど 風を切り駆け抜けていく 後ろ姿　眩しい微笑みを 僕は絶対　忘れないよずっと	akogareteita nda mou issho ni wa ireranai kedo kaze o kiri kakenukete iku ushiro sugata mabushii hohoemi o boku wa zettai wasurenai yo zutto	I admired you Though we can't be together anymore, Running through the wind, Your view from behind is a dazzling smile I'll never forget it—till the very end
