english:

monochrome
lyrics: ayumi hamasaki
composer: dai
arranger: naoto suzuki, dai

maybe it wasn't there to begin with

that fun, sad, and kind story.

maybe it was a dream or illusion.

maybe i slept too long.

in the season when i can feel

the smell of summer in the blue sky
i remember a face.

the scenery of the city began to distort

i searched for sunglasses
so i could lose all the colors.

what i wanted to be?

not a princess.
what i wanted to have?
not glass slippers.

what i wanted to be?

i wanted to be with you.
what i wanted to have?
was your smiling face.

the wind and the smell of summer

cut through today's sky.
it's ok so i agreed
because if it's fate like we said
then we can meet again somewhere.

la la la la la la i...
it's ok so i agreed.
la la la la la la...
because i'm so strong.
