当たり前になってた
何かあればすぐ
僕の帰る場所は君の胸の中
いつでも迎えて
くれると思ってたから
歩き慣れたはずの君の家までの
道が真っ暗になって
たどり着けない

心に鍵がかかった
力も声も役にたたない
耳を傾けてくれなきゃ届かない
後悔だけが残されたまま...
君のいる私の未来の話を
不安になる度に
言葉を交した
私より君が諦めずにいてくれた
何度も同じ過ち繰り返してまた
君を裏切った「ゴメン」
これで何度目?
「もう一度信じてほしい」なんて
言えた立場じゃないでも
失ってから
君が気付かせてくれたコト
0からでも
時間がどれくらいかかったとしても
ひんやり冷たい壁へと
変わってしまった扉にさえ
差し込む程に輝いてる僕に変わり
今度は僕が君の帰る場所になりたい
Ah 君とじゃなきゃ何の意味もない

約束だけが残されたまま...
やっぱり君と叶えたいから

She apologizes for betraying their trust and wishes they could start again. She is grateful that her partner never gave up on her even when she did and helped her realize the mistakes she had made.
