[Chorus]
Silent girl
疲れてる目で
何が伝えたいのこの夜に
愛から切り放されても
一人じゃないと思い出して

[Verse 1]
過ちは毎晩　獣になって
良心を踏み荒らす
攻撃はようやく　朝方おさまり
眠りにおちるの

[Chorus]
Silent girl
全てのものに
始めがあれば終わりもある
去って行ったあの人のことを
自由にしてもいいんじゃない

[Verse 2]
誇れない過去なら　誰もが一つは
胸に秘めているから
悲しみを受け入れ　責めるのをやめて
心を許して

[Chorus]
Silent girl
涙することも
ため息さえも苦になって
ああ待って　でももう一度
愛されたいのなら
愛されたいのなら
心を開いて

[Outro]
Silent girl
Silent girl
