[Verse 1]
正直過ぎることは時に　人を傷つけ夢を奪う
正義を盾にして弱さを隠している

[Verse 2]
つきたくない嘘をつくのは　大事な人を守りたいから
優しさは時折悪者になり愛の味方になる

[Chorus]
それが
Life, life 苦しい時も
Life, life 信じていたい
「正しい」と「間違い」の間に真実はあるから

[Verse 3]
この世に永遠はないけど　それでも幸せはあること
あなたの温もりが教えてくれた　今でも会いたいよ

[Chorus]
それが
Love, love 苦しい時も
Love, love 忘れないから
Ah,「出会い」と「別れ」までの間に真実があること

[Bridge]
動けなくても　歩けなくても
なくしたものは　取り戻せるから　もう一度踏み出せば, oh

[Chorus]
それが
Life, life 苦しい時も
Life, life 信じていたい
「正しい」と「間違い」の間に真実はある
Love
苦しい時も
Love, love 忘れないから
「出会い」と「別れ」までの間に真実があること
真実はあるから
