Even without you, the sun will rise
新しい一日の始まり
It's the beginning of a new day
今日選んだアミダくじの線が
The line I chose in today's lottery
どこに続くかは分からない
I don't know where it will lead
怠け者な私が毎日働く理由
The reason this lazy me works every day
ああ 両手に空を 胸に嵐を
Ah, with the sky in both hands, a storm in my heart
ああ 君にお別れを
Ah, farewell to you

Ah, what was left behind on this seaside was
いつも置き手紙
Always leaving a note
ああ 夢の中でも 電話越しでも
Ah, even in dreams or over the phone

いつも置き手紙
Always leaving a note

Said it's okay to be alone

With a skeptical mind, I'm still pondering

ああ 君に触れたいよ

ああ 憶えている最後の一行は
Ah, the last line I remember is
「必ず帰るよ」
"I'll definitely come back"

送り続けるよ
Will keep sending you my thoughts

ああ 声を聞きたいよ
Ah, I want to hear your voice
ああ 言葉交わすのが苦手なら
Ah, if you're not good at exchanging words
今度急にいなくなる時は
Then next time you suddenly disappear
何もいらないよ
I won't need anything at all
Tell me that you'll never ever leave me
Tell me that you'll never ever leave me
Then you go ahead and leave me
Then you go ahead and leave me
What the hell is going on?
What the hell is going on?
Tell me that you really really love me
Tell me that you truly, truly love me
Then you go ahead and leave me
Then you turn around and leave me
How the hell do I go on?
How the hell do I carry on?
Tell me that you'll never ever leave me
Tell me that you'll never, ever go away from me
Then you go ahead and leave me
Then you turn around and leave me
What the hell is going on?
What the hell is happening?
