Lyrics
boku wa kodoku de usotsuki itsumo yume bakari miteru kimi wa kidzuite'nai furi dakedo soredemo dakishimeru n' da
 * -|Romaji=

marude kyuuketsuki mitai ni kimi no yasashisa wo suitsukushite shimau ki ga suru n' da

hitotsu owaranai kanashimi ga bokura wo tsutsumikondara dakiatte asa wo matou itsuka naoranai kizuato mo bokura yuruseru no kana ano koro to kawaranai egao de...

mayonaka boku wa yume wo mite hidoku unasarete me wo samashita manatsu no yoru no kurai yume mado no soto ni hateshinai yami

soshite yukkuri me wo tojitara kimi ga mabuta ni ukande furimuite kiete shimau yo moshi yakusoku no ano basho ni tadoritsukenai to shitemo kimi no te wo boku wa hanasanai darou.

kimi ga yasashiku waratta tooi sekai no dekigoto mitai ni boku wa kodoku de usotsuki itsumo yume bakari miteru I'm lonely and a liar And all I do is dream You pretend you don't notice But you still hold me
 * -|English translation=

I feel like I'm a vampire And I'll end up sucking up all your kindness

If one endless sorrow should surround us Let's hold each other and wait til morning I wonder if we'll someday be able to allow the scars that don't heal With a smile that's still the same as back then...

I had a dream in the middle of the night I tossed and turned and then woke up It was a dark, midsummer night's dream Outside the window was endless darkness

The hatred and jealousy reflected in the mirror And love and desire and warmth

And when I closed my eyes, you appeared on the inside of my eyelids If I turn around, you'll disappear Even if we never arrive at that promised place I don't think I'll let go of your hand...

You smiled tenderly as if it were something that happened in a distant world I'm lonely and a liar and all I do is dream ぼくは孤独でウソつき いつもユメばかり見てる 君は気づいてないふり だけど　それでも抱きしめるんだ
 * -|Japanese=

まるで吸血鬼みたいに　君のやさしさを 吸い尽くしてしまう気がするんだ

ひとつ　終わらない悲しみが ぼくらを包み込んだら 抱き合って　朝を待とう いつか　なおらない傷跡も ぼくら許せるのかな あの頃と　かわらない笑顔で…

真夜中　ぼくは夢をみて ひどくうなされて目をさました 真夏の夜の暗い夢 窓の外に果てしないヤミ

鏡の中にうつった　憎しみと嫉妬 愛と欲望と　ぬくもりと

そして　ゆっくり目をとじたら 君がまぶたに浮かんで 振り向いて　消えてしまうよ もし　約束のあの場所に たどり着けないとしても 君の手を ぼくは　はなさないだろう…

君がやさしく笑った 遠い世界の出来事みたいに ぼくは孤独でウソつき いつもユメばかり見てる
