Nemurenai yoru wa itsumo kimi ga inai wake ni (1)
kizukanu furi de toki o kazoete kokoro no sukima fusaide
    The nights I can't sleep can always be blamed on the fact that you're not here
    Pretending I don't notice, the presence in the corner of my heart that time taught me

Tameiki de nurikatameta kabe ni mamorareteru
konna yoru ni wa tsuyogari sae mo atokata mo naku kieteku
    I armored myself with sighs, protected by the walls
    On a night like this, even more than trying to be strong, I disappear without a trace

Aitakunatte shikata nakute kimi no namae o yobu
sunao ni natte kokoro no naka kimi o sagashiteiru
    I want to see you, there's no use, I cry your name
    I become honest, I'm searching for you in my heart

Ima ni natte kizuitemo nanimo kawari wa shinai
moshimo ano toki sunao ni nareru tsuyosa ga sukoshi areba to
    Even if I realize it now, nothing will change
    If, at that time, I had been honest, and had a little strength

Aitakunatte kiri ga nakute akirameyou to suru
kimi no egao ga mabushisugite kurai kono heya ni wa
aitakunatte ima sugu ni mo yoru o koeteyukeru
sunao ni natte kimi no moto e kono omoi todokeyou
    I want to see you, without debating I move to give up
    Your smile is just too bright in the dark of this room
    I want to see you, even right now, if I can cross over the night
    I'll become honest, like I'm sending this feeling to where you are

Notes;
1)where they sing 'wake' the kanji for 'riyuu' is there, but the meaning essentially doesn't change
