I translated the lyrics using ChatGPT, so there may be some mistranslations.

 

When a silent scream stirs the midnight
And I get lost in this square room
I want you to call out to me—
From the place inside me where you once were.

When ugly thoughts rage through my body
And dig their claws into yesterday and tomorrow
I want you to smile at me—
From the place inside me where you disappeared.

Even from there, your voice still reaches me here.
I can get my heart back right away.
Even with trembling legs, I can move forward—
Just like the sky rolls on automatically.

As the ordinary days come attacking one after another,
I hope I can hold on, without being swallowed.
Sharp, thorny sounds pierce my ears,
But I still want to be like you.
So I want you to watch over me—
From the place of goodbye inside me.

Little by little, the footprints have grown.
Even a little, I want to be like you.
I've come this far—
From the place inside me where you once were.

So that I can finally move away from there,
Even if it's just a millimeter, my heart won't drift away.

The feelings I wanted to tell you took time
And finally became words—
But now, I can't say them anymore.

So I won’t lose what we had together.
And I won’t forget what I’ve lost either.
No matter how far apart we are, it’s still here.
Because you're here, I can go anywhere.

Even with trembling legs, I can move forward—
Just like the starry sky still spreads above.

Even if I can't feel that way just yet,
I know I won’t see you again unless I move.

I want to see you. I want to see you.
Ooh, whoa, yeah.
