Unmei wa tsukamu mono da to omotta
Haya sugiru sokudo de torimaku
Sekai ni wa itsu shika tsukarete
Aijou wo sukui no te mo motome tsuduketa kedo
Todokitai itsu ka watashi wa watashi ni
Anata kara mitsukete moraeta toki
Jibun wo hokoru koto dekiru kara
Akirameru nante mou shitakunakute
Jama suru kakotachi ni te wo futta yo
Hajimete watashi ni oshiete kureta ne

Mawari bakari ki ni suru no wa mou owari ni shiyou
Kuchibiru ni sukoshi chikaduki hajimeru
Eien nante mita koto nai kedo
Ima no futari nara shinjirareru hazu
Mou hitori bocchi ja nai kara
Koi ga mina itsu ka owaru wake ja nai
Nagai yoru wo yagate akeru you ni

"Trust" is a song by Ayumi Hamasaki that explores the theme of trust and finding oneself through relationships. The lyrics begin with the idea of not believing in a "red thread" of fate, but realizing that fate is something to be grasped and seized. The fast pace of life is causing exhaustion for everyone, and even love and support can become sources of burden when looked to for salvation. However, the singer finds that by trusting herself and others, she feels stronger and more confident.
The lyrics also touch on the idea of vulnerability in love and relationships. The singer worries that staying by someone's side will only lead to them getting hurt, but eventually learns that true love requires taking that risk. The song concludes on a hopeful note, with the singer feeling ready to face the future and the challenges it brings.
