Track 02 on the Yakusoku single

Kimi wa tamerau tsubomi
dakishimereba furueru
gomen ne to furueteru
    You are a hesitant bud
    If I hold you, you quaver
    I'm sorry, you quaver

Koi suru kokoro no mama de
yume miru no wa tsumi janai
kizu o osore kokoro itsuwaru hou ga
tsumibukai sa
    It's not a sin to see dreams
    while having love in your heart
    Afraid of being hurt, deceiving your heart
    is a deeper sin

Meguriatte
motomeai kyou soshite wakareru kedo
unmei wa hajimatteiru
    We met,
    claimed this day, and now we part but
    your destiny is beginning

Irozuku kimi wa yume-hajime-hana
ima wa kono te hanasou
boku no tame ni muri shite hohoemu
kimi ga koishii
    Changing colour, you are a dream-starting flower
    For now, let go of this hand
    Forcing yourself to smile for me
    I miss you

Warawanakute ii nakanakute ii
kinou to onaji sayonara
sakou to suru hana wa mayowanai
eien no wakare janai
    You don't have to smile, don't have to cry
    The same good-bye as yesterday
    Flowers that try to bloom don't hesitate
    We won't be apart forever

Akaku somarikiru mae no
hanabira no guradeeshon
hieta kuuki suikomu tabi kimi ga
tooku naru
    The gradation of petals
    before fully turning red
    Each time you take a breath of cool air
    you grow more distant

Yume miru to
nanika hitotsu nakusu to iu keredo
boku ga zenbu mamotteageru
    They say that
    when you see dreams you lose something but
    I'll protect everything for you

Namida de hiraku yume-hajime-hana
kimi no mune nurasu kedo
kisetsu wa sugu hitomawari o shite
haru ga kuru kara
    Opened with tears, a dream-starting flower
    They soak your breast but
    The seasons will soon come full circle
    and spring will come so

Tokimeki nagara tomadoi nagara
arukitsuzuketara ii
ashita e muku urunda hitomi ni
haruka na kimi mo utsuru
    While your heart beats, while feeling confused
    You only have to keep walking
    In your eyes wet with tears turned to tomorrow
    the view of you in the distance is reflected

Yume miru no mo akirameru no mo
kokoro wa himei o ageru
sono sakebi o boku ga nogasazu ni
kiiteiru kara
    Both in seeing dreams and in giving up
    The heart cries out
    Without missing it, I am listening
    to that cry so

Irozuku hana wa yume-hajime-hana
ima wa kono te hanasou
sakou to suru kimi wa mayowanai
eien no wakare janai
    The flower changing colour is a dream-starting flower
    Now, let go of this hand
    You who try to bloom don't hesitate
    We won't be apart forever
