Kowareru hodo aishitemo
Sanbun no ichi mo tsutawaranai
Junjou na kanjou wa karamawari
I love you sae ienaideiru my heart

Nagaku nemurenai yoru ga
Kimi e to omoi
Sore wa koi na n desu to sasayaku yo

Tomedonaku katari kakeru
Yureru kodou wa
Binetsu majiri no tameiki e to kawaru

Give me smile and shine days
Kimi no smile de
Itetsuku yoru no samusa
No mo good koraerareru

Kowareru hodo aishitemo
San bun no ichi mo tsutawaranai
Junjou na kanjou wa karamawari
I love you sae ienaideiru my heart

Manatsu no ame no you ni
Kawaita suhada
Uruosu kimi no egao ga mabushikute

Give me a smile and shiny days
Kyuu ni sumasanaide
Donna ni konnan de nankan na kabe mo
Koeru kara

Kowareru hodo aishetemo
San bun no ichi mo tsutawaranai
Junjou na kanjou wa karamawari
I love you sae ienaideiru my heart

My heart

Even if I love you to the point of breaking
Not even 1/3 of my feelings will reach
My true feelings are going nowhere
I can't even say "I love you" my heart

These long sleepless nights
Are my thoughts towards you
"Is this love" I whisper

My endless talk hangs unfinished in the air
And my wavering heartbeat
Turns into a fever mixed with a sigh

Give me a smile and shiny days
With your smile
I can withstand the cold
Of a frozen night

Even if I love you to the point of breaking
Not even 1/3 of my feelings will reach
My true feelings are going nowhere
I can't even say "I love you" my heart

Like rain in the middle of summer
The dry, bareness moistens
Your smile is bright

Give me a smile and shiny days
Don't suddenly look unconcerned
Because we can overcome any wall
That stands in our way

Even if I love you to the point of breaking
Not even 1/3 of my feelings will reach
My true feelings are going nowhere
I can't even say "I love you" my heart

My heart

Your smile is bright

Give me a smile and shiny days
Don't suddenly look unconcerned
Because we can overcome any wall
That stands in our way

How much do I have to love you
For these feelings to reach you?
When you look at me, I can’t say it
My words drift off into space

The further separated we are
The more I realize how precious you are
The more I yearn for you
The more I feel the painful distance in my heart

Give me a smile and shiny days
Give me a smile and nice days
If only I could have embraced you
In my arms

How much do I have to love you
For these feelings to reach you?
Even though I could say it properly
In my dreams

Even if I love you to the point of breaking
Not even 1/3 of my feelings will reach
My true feelings are going nowhere
I can't even say "I love you" My heart
