Tell Me Why
GENERATIONS from EXILE TRIBE Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

「なんにも言わないで」と
囁(ささや)いた君は そっと
僕に口づけして
人混(ひとご)みへと 消えた
両腕の中 残されたのは
儚(はかな)い香りと 願いだけ
胸元の 愛の名残(なご)り
そっと隠して
Tell me why
何故、僕ら出会ったの?
愛し合えば 傷つくことだって
知ってたのに
So tell me why このぬくもりを
いつまでも 僕はずっと
忘れないよ Baby
Tell me why
Tell me why
出来ない約束は
しない方がいいと 微笑む
君は僕なんかより
ずっと大人だったね
変わらない過去に
また目逸(そ)らして
来ない未来に 期待した
その指の 罪の証(あかし)
握りしめて
Tell me why 何故、愛を誓ったの?
永遠なんて 僕らにないこと
知ってたのに
So tell me why あの口づけは
それだけは 真実だって
信じたいよ Baby
Tell me why
大人になったような
フリをしたけど
頭で分かっても この胸がまたYeah
恋しさに 疼(うず)き出すから
Oh why...
why...
Oh why...
Oh why...
Oh why...
Oh why...
今すぐそっと
Tell me why
何故、僕ら出会ったの?
愛し合えば 傷つくことだって
知ってたのに
So tell me why このぬくもりを
いつまでも 僕はずっと
忘れないよ Baby
Tell me why
Tell me why...
Tell me why...
