Itsu datte naku kurai kantan da kedo waratte itai
Anata no ai ga hoshii yo

Honto no jibun no sugata ga sukoshi zutsu boyake dashite'ru
Oshiyoseru hitonami no naka kotae dasenai mama sagashite ita
Uso ya iiwake jouzu ni naru hodo munashisa ni kowaku naru yo

Itsu datte naku kurai kantan da kedo waratte itai
Tsuyogatte'tara yasashisa sae wasurechau kara sunao ni naritai
Anata no ai ga hoshii yo

Hito wa minna itsu datte hitori bocchi na ikimono
Da kara sou dare ka ga hitsuyou sasaeraretakute sasaete itakute
Tashika na mono wa nani mo nai keredo shinjite'ru kokoro ga aru

Taisetsu na mono hitotsu mitsukeraretara mamoritoosou
Takasugiru kabe butsukattara kizu o ottara mata tateba ii
Hoka ni wa nani mo nozomanai kara tatta hitotsu sore dake de ii
Anata no ai ga hoshii yo
