ROMAJI

watashi no kuchibiru ga hitotsu uso wo tsuita
sore wa sasai na riyuu kara de
dare no tame demo naku
tada oroka na jibun wo
mamoru tame datta n' darou

ki ga tsuita koro ni wa kazoekirenu uso ni
kakomarete ugokenaku natteta nasu sube mo naku

miageta sora kirei deshita
kimi no koto wo omoimashita
kimi no you ni tsuyoku mae wo muite
aruite iketara to

sonna michi no tochuu genjitsu kara nigeta
arayuru itami kara mo nigeta
ima wa konna dakedo
itsuka risou doori no
jibun ni naru no dakara to

iiwake shita ato de iikagen mezameta
dekiru koto wa ima wo ikinuku koto dake datta

konna koe wa todokimasu ka

JAPANESE

私の唇がひとつ嘘をついた
それは些細な理由からで
誰の為でもなく
ただ愚かな自分を
守る為だったんだろう

気が付いた頃には数え切れぬ嘘に
囲まれて動けなくなってたなすすべもなく

見上げた空綺麗でした
君の事を想いました
君のように強く前を向いて
歩いて行けたらと

そんな道の途中現実から逃れた
あらゆる痛みからも逃げた
今はこんなだけど
いつか理想通りの
自分になるのだからと

言い訳した後でいい加減目覚めた
出来る事は現在を生き抜く事だけだった

こんな声は届きますか
君の胸へ響きますか
君の背を生きる道しるべに
今日も歩いてます

見上げた空綺麗でした
君の事を想いました
君のように強く前を向いて
歩いて行けたらと

こんな声は届きますか
君の胸へ響きますか
君の背を生きる道しるべに
今日も歩いてます


  
ENGLISH (Translation)

My lips told a lie
For a trivial reason
I suppose it was for no one else
But only to protect me
When I was thoughtless

When I noticed, I was trapped and at a loss
Surrounded by countless lies

The sky I looked up at was beautiful
I thought of you
I wished I could walk with firm steps
Facing forward like you

But I escaped from the reality
Escaped from all the pain
I said to myself
"I'll be my ideal self some day
Though I'm far from that now"

After such excuses, my eyes were opened
What I could do was only to live in the present time

Does this voice reach you?
Does it ring in your heart?
I'm walking on today
Looking at your back as a guidepost to live

The sky I looked up at was beautiful
I thought of you
I wished I could walk with firm steps
Facing forward like you

Does this voice reach you?
Does it ring in your heart?
I'm walking on today
Looking at your back as a guidepost to live
