---|---|---|---|
TV version | 僕が僕を愛し抜くこと | boku ga boku wo aishinuku koto | Truly loving myself |
なあ まだ信じてもいいか? | naa mada shinjitemo iika? | Is it alright to still believe in that? | |
どこへ向かう旅だとしても | doko e mukau tabi datoshitemo | No matter where this journey takes us | |
あれ いつからだ? | are itsukarada? | Since when was it? | |
本音が弱音になったな | honne ga yowane ni nattana | Being honest became whining | |
逃げないことが強さになった | nigenai koto ga tsuyosa ni natta | Standing firm became strength | |
なあ 見つからない? | naa mitsukaranai? | Have you found it yet? | |
自信じゃなく自分自身 | jishin janaku jibun jishin | Not confidence, your true self | |
きっとまだ探せてない忘れものがあるはず | kitto mada sagasetenai wasuremono ga aruhazu | There must be something I've forgotten that I still haven't found | |
ずっとまだ伝えてない伝えたい言葉 | zutto mada tsutaetenai tsutaetai kotoba | Words I want to say That I still haven't said | |
見ててくれるなら魅せてみせるのに | mitete kurerunara misete miserunoni | If you would watch me, I'd captivate you | |
僕が僕を愛し抜くこと | boku ga boku wo aishinuku koto | Truly loving myself | |
なあまだ信じてもいいか? | naa mada shinjitemo iika? | Is it alright to still believe in that? | |
くすぶるのはちゃんと燃えたからだ | kusuburuno wa chanto moeta karada | I smolder because I've actually burned | |
どこへ向かう旅だとしても | doko e mukau tabi datoshitemo | No matter where this journey takes us | |
ただ目を見開いて | tada me wo mihiraite | I'll just open my eyes | |
夢を見る | yume wo miru | And dream my dream | |
夢を知る | yume wo shiru | And know my dream | |
Full version only | よう 生きてるかい?
本当の強さ きみだけが分かってればいいのさ 逃げたり傷ついた数だけ居場所は増えたりする 見ててくれ 姿じゃなく生き方を 僕が僕を愛し抜かなきゃ 終わらない聖者の交信 悲しみの縫い目に投げキッス どこへ向かう旅でも行こうぜ まだ手をとりあって 脳 映像 スカイはグレー 夜を駆ける 束の間 終幕 裏切りは愛のおまけ かさぶたになる日々 美しくはないのサ 腰に巻いた正義の切れ味はどんなだ 僕らは違う痛みを生きる 勇敢でいたい 立ち向かいたい 眠っていたストーリーを凄いスピードで覚ましたいや 僕が僕を愛せる強さを かなり愛してもいいか? くすぶるのだ 燃えカスになるまで どこへ向かう旅だっていいさ いいのさ ただ 目を見開いて息をする 生きるをする |
