[Verse 1]
あなたは迷っていてもドアは開いているよ
二人の世界だけでは満たされないのでしょう?

[Pre-Chorus]
羽をあげるから信じて飛べばいい

[Chorus]
Kiss me good-bye, love is memory
あなたを失っても

[Verse 2]
愛した記憶が強さに変わるから
確かな物を探して誰もが恋するが

[Pre-Chorus]
揺るがない愛は自分の中にある

[Chorus]
Kiss me good-byeさようなら
新しい私に変わる
Kiss me good-bye, love is memory
新しい二人に変わるなら

[Outro]
Kiss me good-bye泣かない
あなたを愛せたから
あなたを愛せたから
