Missing Promise

Romaji
Toozakari hajimeta
Sono senaka wa mou furikaeranai
Nagai yo ga aketemo
Ayamachi to tsumi wa ima mo zutto kiezu ni
Ochiru yuuhi yami ga shinobiyori kuroku somatte yuku junsui
Omou hodo ni doushite kizu de tameshita?
Hoshikatta no wa tada hitotsu sono egao na no ni
Nando machigai tsuzuketa hibi wo
Hodoite musubinaosu you ni
Mayottemo ai ni yuku yo
Kanashii namida wa nugutte
Itsunomani wasurete ita
Sono yasashii koe wo sagashite
Mata te wo toriaeta nara
Kimi to mou ichido yakusoku wo
Togiresou na kanousei
Miushinawanai you ni oikakete
Te ni ireta mono nara
Risou to wa chigau dokoka kaketa aijou
Itami nageki yugameta mama buttsukeau sakasama no kotoba
Omou hodo ni doushite yurusenakatta?
Mamoritakatta egao wo kizukeba kowashite
Tatoe surechigai hanaretetemo
Kimi wo shinjirareta nara
Mata aeru hi ga kita ka na futari natsukashii kao de
Nanigenaku sugoshite ita
Ano toki wo omoikaesu you na
Ari no mama tsuujiaeteta
Marude unmei ka no you ni
Nakushita mono ga mou modoranai koto
Wakatte itemo
Negai wo kakeru koto yamerare wa shinai “itsuka”
Dore hodo taisetsu na hito datta no ka
Mune ga kurushimu tabi ni shitta
Tomo ni sugoshita hi wo waraiatta hibi wo
Nando machigai tsuzuketa hibi wo
Hodoite musubinaosu you ni
Mayottemo ai ni yuku yo
Kanashii namida wa nugutte
Itsunomani wasurete ita
Sono yasashii koe wo sagashite
Mata te wo toriaeta nara
Kimi to mou ichido yakusoku wo kawasou
Kitto…
Translation
For once you disappeared completely
And now I’ll never see you look back at me again
Even when dawn breaks after the long night
My mistakes and my sins have not been erased, even now
The sun sets and the creeping darkness dyes everything in pure black
The more I think about it, why did I try the painful route?
All I really wanted was to see your smile
If only I could take apart all the days I got wrong
And rearrange them correctly
Even if you lose your way,
I’ll find you and wipe away your tears of sorrow
Before I knew it, I had forgotten
That I was searching for your gentle voice
When I’m finally able to hold hands with you again,
We’ll make a promise once more
I chased after the possibilities that seemed cut off to me
So I wouldn’t lose sight of them
But if I were to catch one, it’d be different than I imagined
A love that’s missing something
Still warped with pain and grief, we clash with backwards words
The more I think about it, why couldn’t I have just forgiven you?
I realized I’m breaking the smile I wanted to protect
If I had just believed in you,
Even when we went separate ways,
Would a day come when we could see
The face of the person we missed so much again?
When I’m reminded of that time we spent together
We understood each other just the way we are
Like we were destined for each other
Even though I know I’ll never recover
The things I lost
I’ll never stop wishing, “Someday…”
Every time my chest feels tight, I remember
How important you were to me
The days we spent together, laughing together every day…
If only I could take apart all the days I got wrong
And rearrange them correctly
Even if you lose your way,
I’ll find you and wipe away your tears of sorrow
Before I knew it, I had forgotten
That I was searching for your gentle voice
When I’m finally able to hold hands with you again,
We’ll exchange promises once more
I’m sure we will…
Japanese Lyrics
遠ざかりはじめた その背中はもう振り返らない
長い夜が明けても 過ちと罪は 今もずっと消えずに
落ちる夕陽 闇が忍び寄り黒く染まってゆく純粋
想うほどに どうして傷で試した？
欲しかったのは唯一つ その笑顔なのに
何度間違い続けた日々を 解いて結び直すように
迷っても会いに行くよ 悲しい涙は拭って
いつの間に忘れていた その優しい声を探して
また手を取り合えたなら 君ともう一度約束を
途切れそうな可能性 見失わないように追いかけて
手に入れたものなら 理想とは違う どこか欠けた愛情
怒り嘆き 歪めたままぶつけ合う逆さまの言葉
想うほどに どうして許せなかった？
守りたかった笑顔を 気づけば壊して
たとえすれ違い離れてても 君を信じられたなら
また会える日が来たかな 二人懐かしい顔で
何気なく過ごしていた あの時間(とき)を思い返すなら
ありのまま通じ合えてた まるで運命かのように
失くしたものがもう戻らないこと わかってても
願いをかけること止められはしない “いつか…”
どれほど大切な人だったのか 胸が苦しむたびに 知った
共に過ごした日を 笑い合った日々を
何度間違い続けた日々を 解いて結び直すように
迷っても会いに行くよ 悲しい涙は拭って
いつの間に忘れていた その優しい声を探して
また手を取り合えたなら 君ともう一度約束を交わそう
きっと…
