あふれだす想い
あなたとの毎日が
消えるのが怖くなって
逃げ出すの
二人すれ違ったあの日
いまでもわたしの隣は
あなたの場所だから
帰って来てくれると思ってるから

This Love is"illusion"?

真っ直ぐに私みてくれた
あなたその優しい手好きだった
ずっと一緒にいると
「ごめんね」と離れても
その手が遠くに感じて苦しくなる
すぐそばに行きたいよ
あなたが来れないなら私が
会いにいくよ
ずっとずっと会いたくて
待っていたんだから
あふれだす想い
あなたとの毎日が
消えるのが怖くなって
逃げ出すの
二人すれ違ったあの日
いまでもわたしの隣は
あなたの場所だから
帰って来てくれると思ってるんだよ
This Love is"illusion"?

いつだろうか消えたんだ
優しいその手の温もり
なんでわたしじゃだめなの?
聞きたいよ
あなたがいなくなって
時間 (とき) が止まったまま
ずっとそのまま変わらずに
今も待っているから
あふれだす想い
あなたとの毎日が
消えるのが怖くなって
逃げ出したの
二人すれ違ったあの日
いまでもわたしの隣は
あなたの場所だから
そう思い続けて待っているけど
"意味が無い"のかな?

大切なものを失った
瞬間 (しゅんかん) から
ずっとあなたを求めて
探し始めたんだ。
あふれだす想い
あなたとの毎日が
消えるのが怖くなって
逃げ出したよ
あなたの今を知った時
わたしの隣はずっと
あなたの場所だから

だけど今日で終わりにしようね
This Love is"illusion"?
