Lyrics[]
Just give me a reason
To keep my heart beating
Don’t worry it’s safe right here in my arms
As the world falls apart around us
All we can do is hold on hold on
Take my hand
And bring me back
I’ll risk everything if it’s for you
A whisper into the night
Telling me it’s not my time and don’t give up
I’ve never stood up before
This time demo yuzurenai mono
Nigitta kono te wa hanasanai
So stand up stand up
Just gotta keep it
I wanna wake up wake up
Just tell me how I can
Never give up
Kuruoshii hodo setsuna no enrei
Just tell me why baby
They might call me crazy
For saying I’ll fight until there is no more
Urei wo fukunda senkou gankou wa kankakuteki shoudou
Blinded I can’t see the end
So where do I begin
Say not a word I can hear you
The silence between us
Nanimonai you ni utsutteru dake
I’ll take this chance and I’ll make it mine
Tada kakusenai mono kazatta you ni misekaketeru
So stand up stand up
Just gotta keep it
I wanna wake up wake up
Just tell me how I can
Never give up
Kanashimi to setsunasa no enrei
Just give me a reason
To keep my heart beating
Don’t worry it’s safe right here in my arms
Kudakete naite saite chitta kono omoi wa
So blinded I can’t see the end
Look how far we’ve made it
The pain I can’t escape it
Kono mama ja mada owaraseru koto wa dekinai desho
Nando kutabarisou demo kuchihateyou tomo
Owari wa nai sa
So where do I begin
Nigirishimeta ushinawanu you ni to…
Te wo hirogereba koboreochisou de
Ushinau mono nado nakatta hibi no dasei wo sutete
Kimi wo…
Just tell me why baby
They might call me crazy
For saying I’ll fight until there is no more
Urei wo fukunda senkou gankou wa kankakuteki shoudou
Blinded I can’t see the end
Look how far we’ve made it
The pain I can’t escape it
Kono mama ja mada owaraseru koto wa dekinai desho
Nando kutabarisou demo kuchihateyou tomo
Owari wa nai sa
It finally begins
Just give me a reason
To keep my heart beating
Don’t worry it’s safe right here in my arms
As the world falls apart around us
All we can do is hold on hold on
Take my hand
And bring me back
I’ll risk everything if it’s for you
A whisper into the night
Telling me it’s not my time and don’t give up
I’ve never stood up before
A person who does not give up even if it is time
This hand that I held won't speak
So stand up stand up
Just gotta keep it
I wanna wake up wake up
Just tell me how I can
Never give up
It's a crazy theory
Just tell me why baby
They might call me crazy
For saying I’ll fight until there is no more
Flashing eyes that contain sorrow are sensory impulses
Blinded I can’t see the end
So where do I begin
Say not a word I can hear you
The silence between us
It's just for nothing
I’ll take this chance and I’ll make it mine
Those who just can't hide it are pretending to be used for decoration
So stand up stand up
Just gotta keep it
I wanna wake up wake up
Just tell me how I can
Never give up
The beauty of sadness and sadness
Just give me a reason
To keep my heart beating
Don’t worry it’s safe right here in my arms
This feeling that cries openly, blooms and scatters
So blinded I can’t see the end
Look how far we’ve made it
The pain I can’t escape it
You can't end it just like this, can you?
No matter how many times I seem to die, no matter how many times I rot away
There is no end
So where do I begin
I grasped it so as not to lose it...
If I spread out my hand, it seems like it will spill over
Abandoning the daily inertia of having nothing to lose
You…
Just tell me why baby
They might call me crazy
For saying I’ll fight until there is no more
Flashing eyes that contain sorrow are sensory impulses
Blinded I can’t see the end
Look how far we’ve made it
The pain I can’t escape it
You can't end it just like this, can you?
No matter how many times I seem to die, no matter how many times I rot away
There is no end
It finally begins
Just give me a reason
To keep my heart beating
Don’t worry it’s safe right here in my arms
As the world falls apart around us
All we can do is hold on, hold on
Take my hand
And bring me back
I’ll risk everything if it’s for you
A whisper into the night
Telling me it’s not my time and don’t give up
I’ve never stood up before
This timeでも 譲れないもの
握ったこの手は離さない
So stand up stand up
Just gotta keep it
I wanna wake up wake up
Just tell me how I can
Never give up
狂おしいほど刹那の艶麗(えんれい)
Just tell me why baby
They might call me crazy
For saying I’ll fight until there is no more
愁いを含んだ閃光眼光は感覚的衝動
Blinded I can’t see the end
So where do I begin
Say not a word I can hear you
The silence between us
なにもないように映ってるだけ
I’ll take this chance and I’ll make it mine
ただ隠せないもの 飾ったように見せかけてる
So stand up stand up
Just gotta keep it
I wanna wake up wake up
Just tell me how I can
Never give up
悲しみと切なさの艶麗(えんれい)
Just give me a reason
To keep my heart beating
Don’t worry it’s safe right here in my arms
くだけて泣いて咲いて散ったこの思いは
So blinded I can’t see the end
Look how far we’ve made it
The pain I can’t escape it
このままじゃまだ終わらせる事は出来ないでしょ
何度くたばりそうでも朽ち果てようとも
終わりはないさ
So where do I begin
握りしめた 失わぬようにと...
手を広げればこぼれ落ちそうで
失うものなどなかった日々の惰性を捨てて
君を...
Just tell me why baby
They might call me crazy
For saying I’ll fight until there is no more
愁いを含んだ閃光眼光は感覚的衝動
Blinded I can’t see the end
Look how far we’ve made it
The pain I can’t escape it
このままじゃまだ終わらせる事は出来ないでしょ
何度くたばりそうでも朽ち果てようとも
終わりはないさ
It finally begins
