Keep The Faith
KAT-TUN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ここなら You know, baby
居場所があったし
「信じること」口で言えても
傷つくから
小さな声で 優しさ探し歩き
疲れた羽で しゃがみこんでいる
No! No! No!
必ず I'll keep it for you
一人じゃ 明日見失うから
派手に 叫ぶのさ Keep the faith
敵無し 不可能も無し
とばすぜ 燃え上がれ本能
つまらねぇ 毎日抜け出すぜ
固い約束さ Keep the faith
間違いだらけの街
何かが自分変えようとしても
おびえないで
心の中は変えられない
足りない言葉 ピエロは痛み抱え
作り笑い 立ちつくしてる
No! No! No!
You show me the faith
必ず I'll keep it for you
俺らが 明かりを灯すから
一人 泣かないで Keep the faith
その声 離れてても
心は この場所にある
夢見て 倒れて立ち上がれ
すべて賭けるのさ Keep the faith
誰も 何も 見ないふりで
君を傷つける
俺ら そばに 感じるだろ
君をそこから 救い出すよ
Count down 開始 5 to the 4
Don't touch センサー 3 to the 2
I don't wanna change
da style, keep da faith
自分のPaceでRace これはGame
そろそろ着火 Runaway 1
Lifeをかけた愛撫でBlaahh...
だから 近くに..."Sweety"
No! No! No!
You show me the faith
必ず I'll keep it for you
一人じゃ 明日見失うから
派手に 叫ぶのさ Keep the faith
敵無し 不可能も無し
とばすぜ 燃え上がれ本能
つまらねぇ 毎日抜け出すぜ
固い約束さ Keep the faith
夢見て 倒れて立ち上がれ
すべて賭けるのさ Keep the faith
