いつもそう 単純で くだらないことがきっかけで
It's always like that, over something simple and trivial,
傷つけてしまうよね 途切れてく会話 虚しいよ
I end up hurting you, our conversations fall silent, it's all so empty.
言葉が不器用すぎて 邪魔ばかりする
The words are too clumsy, always getting in the way,
好きなのに伝わらない こんな想い 切なくて
I love you, yet my feelings can never reach you, it’s so painful.
「愛しい」だなんて 言い慣れてないけど
"Precious" is a phrase I’m not used to saying,
今なら言えるよ 君のために
But now I can say it, for you, my dear.
となりで笑っていてくれるのならば
If you can just be there smiling by my side,
これ以上 他に何も要らないよ
I don’t need anything more than this, not a thing.

From the moment we met, everything began,
傷つけあう日もあるけれども
There are days when we hurt each other too.
「いっしょにいたい」と そう思えることが
"I want to be together," that's what I feel
まだ知らない明日へと つながってゆくよ
It's connecting to a tomorrow that I still don't know
精一杯 背伸びして 平然を装っていたけど
With all my might, I stretched and feigned calmness,
余裕などないくせに また 笑顔つくってしまった
Even though there's no ease, I still made a smile
会えない夜はきまって 淋しさ おそう
On nights when we can't meet, loneliness always strikes
好きだから不安になる こんな想い 悲しくて
Because I love you, I become anxious; this feeling is so sad
「守ってあげる」と あの時言ったこと
What I said back then, "I'll protect you,"
ためらう気持ちも 嘘じゃないよ
The hesitation I feel isn't a lie, you know
それでも 信じてゆこうとする想い
Yet still, I want to believe in this feeling
壊れてしまわぬように 抱きしめていたい
I want to hold you tight so you won't break
こんなにこんなに 君を好きになって
I love you this much, so much,
本当に本当に嬉しいから
I'm truly, truly happy,
たとえば この先くじけてしまっても
Even if I falter on the path ahead,
にぎりしめたその手を もう離さない
I'll never let go of the hand I've clasped tight.
出逢えたことから 全ては始まった
Everything began from the moment we met,
傷つけあう日もあるけれども
Though there are days we hurt each other,
「いっしょにいたい」と そう思えることが
"I want to be together"—that's what I feel,
まだ知らない明日へと つながってゆくよ
It leads us toward a tomorrow yet unknown.
