english:

for my dear...
lyrics: ayumi hamasaki
composer: yasuhiko hoshino
arranger: yasuhiko hoshino

maybe i'm singing this song because

i can't say the words i want to say the most.

the happiness i've dreamed of

is best before it's realized because
if i finally achieve it, i'll be attacked
by my fear of losing it.

so people aren't simple enough

to satisfy me.

everyone has their wounds,

but sometimes kindness
soaks in. it hurts a lot;
so much that they being to cry.

i'm healed by my loneliness.

i don't want to be alone,
i have you, so
i want to sleep peacefully.

maybe because someday i'll be able to say

the words i want to, i sing on and on.

maybe i've come to like this person because

i can't hear the words i want to hear the most.

ichiban ni iitai kotoba dake ienakute

kono uta o utatte iru no ka mo shirenai

yume ni mita shiawase wa

tsukamu made ga ichi ban ii
te ni irete shimaeba kondo wa
ushinau kowasa osou kara
da kara tte warikireru kurai
ningen tte kantan demo nai

dare mo ga kizu wo motte

iru kara toki ni yasashisa ga
shimite kite totemo itaku tte
naki dashisou ni nattari suru

samishisa ga jibun o tsukurou

hitori kiri naritakunai kara
watashi ni wa anata ga iru kara
heiki to omotte nemuri ni tsukitai

itsu no hi ka iitai kotoba dake iesou de

uta o utaitsudsukete iku no ka mo shiranai

ichi ban ni kikitai kotoba dake kikenakute

hito o suki ni nattari suru no ka mo shirenai
