JAPANESE

一体何を期待してるというの
握り締めてる電話が震える度
いちいち胸が高鳴って
でもすぐにため息に変えて
もう何度繰り返し

来る訳ないいつかなんて言葉
いつまで信じてるつもり

ねぇ忘れてしまえばいい
少し夢見ていただけだって
奇跡なんて起こるわけも
ない事くらいわかってるのに
わかってるのに

急にすべてがわからなくなったって
あの日突然言い出してごめんね

最後に見た涙が今もまだ
頭から離れずにいる

ねぇどうして目に前の君を
信じてあげられなかったんだろう
好きなものを不器用なくらい
好きなだけでじゅうぶんだった
はずなのにね

ねぇ私は君に何かを
残してあげる事が出来たかな

ねぇこのまま時が過ぎたら
私には何が残るんだろう
それでもまだ奇跡を願い
続ける心?それともただの

傷跡かな?


   
ENGLISH (Translation)

What am I expecting?
Every time the phone receiver
I'm grasping trembles
My heart leaps
But soon I'm let down with a sigh
How many times will I continue to do this?

How long am I going to believe the words, "some other day"
When it will never come?

It's better to forget
Thinking that I just dreamed for a little while
Though I know very well
A miracle will never happen
Though I know very well

I'm sorry I told you abruptly that day
That everything became suddenly unclear

The last time that I saw your tears
Is still clinging to my memory

Why couldn't I believe in you .
Right in front of me?
You see? It must have been good enough
Only to love what I was loving
Almost clumsily

I wonder if I could leave
Something for you

When time passes by
What will be left for me?
My heart going on wishing for a miracle?
Or just

A scar?
