変化はとても素敵な事だけど
自分を失くすって意味じゃない
根っこにあるこれまでもこれからも
貫ける自分があってこそ
確かに限界を感じて何もかもに
背を向けてうずくまっていた
日々もあったけれど
もう迷ったりしない 後悔なんてない
あなたと出会うのは運命だったの
あたしである意味を 存在する意義を
与えて教えてくれるのはいつも
あなただから

だけどね時々顔も見たくない
くらい憎たらしい日もあるから
もう二度とこの視界に入らないで
なんて思う事もあるの
だからって離れてしまえる訳でもない
結局どんな時も一番側に居て欲しい
重力におされて 引力にひかれて
あなたと出会うのは必然だったの
何も逆らえない 敬服するしかない
解ってるあなたなしのあたしは
あたしじゃない
もし完璧なメロディーがあるなら
あたしはまだ出会いたくない
もう迷ったりしない 後悔なんてない
あなたと出会うのは運命だったの
あたしである意味を 存在する意義を
与えて教えてくれるあなたが
重力におされて 引力にひかれて
あなたと出会うのは必然だったの
何も逆らえない 敬服するしかない
解ってるあなたなしのあたしは
あたしじゃない

Change is very nice
But it doesn't mean losing yourself
It's just so, on the condition that you have the root
You've held on up to now and will hold on hereafter
Though it's true that there were days
When I felt my limits
Turned my back on everything and crouched down
I won't lose my way anymore, I have no regrets
It was my destiny that I met you
Because you always give and teach me
The meaning and the significance of my existence
tell me why

I don't know

(I won't tell u why)
But sometimes I hate you so much
That I don't even want to see your face
And I think to myself
"Never come into my sight"
But it doesn't mean that I can be apart from you
After all, I want you to be my side most and anytime
Pushed by gravity, pulled by attractive force
I met you by necessity
I can't go against you, but just admire you
I know that I'm not myself without you
If a perfect melody exists
I don't want to meet it yet
I won't lose my way anymore, I have no regrets
It was my destiny that I met you
Because you give and teach me
The meaning and the significance of my existence
Pushed by gravity, pulled by attractive force
I met you by necessity
I can't go against you, but just admire you
I know that I'm not myself without you
