Hiroko Anzai Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

LET YOU GO LET YOU GO
BECAUSE I LOVE YOU
TOO MUCH LOVE
LET ME GO LET ME GO
WE'RE HAVING NOWHERE
TO SURVIVE ALONE
ひどい頭痛さえも
明日になれば良くなるけど

明日が来てもあなたは戻らない
自分で壊したの幸せ壊したの
泣いても届かない
好きなのに何故?
淋しいよって言えなかった
淋しいよって言いたかった
一緒になろうあの約束
嬉しかった今は哀しい
LET YOU GO LET YOU GO
BECAUSE I LOVE YOU
TOO MUCH LOVE
LET ME GO LET ME GO
WE'RE HAVING NOWHERE
TO SURVIVE ALONE
あなたの幸せの
ためなら私はかまわない
深い悲しみへと落ちてもいい
広く果てないこの空の下で生きて
行ってくれるだけで
それだけでいい
私の羽が傷付いた日
飛ばしてくれた大空へと
飛ばしてあげる今あなたを
見えなくなるまで好きだから
LET YOU GO LET YOU GO
BECAUSE I LOVE YOU
TOO MUCH LOVE
LET ME GO LET ME GO
WE'RE HAVING NOWHERE
TO SURVIVE ALONE

淋しいよって言えなかった
淋しいよって言いたかった
一緒になろうあの約束
嬉しかった今は哀しい
私の羽が傷付いた日
飛ばしてくれた大空へと
飛ばしてあげる今あなたを
見えなくなるまで好きだから
LET YOU GO LET YOU GO
BECAUSE I LOVE YOU
TOO MUCH LOVE

LET ME GO LET ME GO
I'M NOT A WOMAN POSSESS YOU
