Lyrics

Official English lyrics	Japanese	Romaji	Japanese-English translation
I would be lost, drifting along Floating up high, time after time And there you'd be, shining brightly Your smiling face to guide my way Bloody and bruised, brought to my knees When beaten down, when broken up You would appear, reach out to me, Heal every wound, and make me whole Was it all a dream? Will I never know? Foolish and blind to everything Had I realized, had I thought it through, Would you be here in my embrace? Shine bright once more Guide me to you Smile bright once more This time I will never let you go With your every smile hiding something more: Dark mysteries lurking beneath But I was consumed with this emptiness This selfishness, this void to fill Hear me once more Show me your smile This time for sure I'll see the truth hidden inside your tears But I, I know That you're long gone But I, I will go on Howling and hollow	漂い 流れて 迷った時でも あなたの輝く 笑顔が導く 傷つき倒れて 打ちひしがれても あなたに触れたら すべては癒され 浮かれてた？そうかもな 何も知らずに 気づくのが早ければ 抱きしめられたかい？ もう一度輝け 一度でいい見つけるから もう一度笑って 今度は離しはしない 笑顔には隠された 秘密があったね でき俺は空っぽで 求めてばかりで もう一度頼むよ 笑顔を見せて もう一度今度こそ 涙の跡に気づいてみせる ああ わかるよ あなたはいない でも俺は 叫び続ける 空っぽだから	Tadayoi nagarete Mayotta toki demo Anata no kagayaku Egao ga michibiku Kizutsuki taorete Uchi hishigarete mo Anata ni furetara Subete wa iyasare Ukareteta?

Maybe Without knowing anything If I realized it sooner, Would you still be in my embrace? Shine one more time One more time is enough, let me find you Laugh one more time I won't let you go this time Hidden in your smile You had a secret But I became empty And wanted more One more time, I ask of you Let me see your smile One more time, for certain I will notice the marks of your tears Oh, I understand now You're not here But I I will keep on screaming Because I am hollow
