Just give me a reason
To keep my heart beating
Don't worry, it's safe right here in my arms
As the world falls apart around us
All we can do is hold on, hold on

Take my hand
And bring me back

I'll risk everything if it's for you
A whisper into the night
Telling me it's not my time and don't give up
I've never stood up before this time 
でも 譲れないもの
握ったこの手は離さない

So stand up, stand up
Just gotta keep it 
I wanna wake up, wake up
Just tell me how I can
Never give up
狂おしいほど刹那の艶麗

Just tell me why baby
They might call me crazy
For saying I'll fight until there is no more
愁いを含んだ閃光 眼光は感覚的衝動
Blinded I can't see the end
So where do I begin

Say not a word I can hear you
The silence between us
なにもないように映ってるだけ
I'll take this chance and I'll make it mine
ただ隠せないもの 飾ったように見せかけてる

So stand up, stand up
Just gotta keep it
I wanna wake up, wake up
Just tell me how I can
Never give up
悲しみと切なさの艶麗

Just give me a reason
To keep my heart beating
Don't worry, it's safe right here in my arms
くだけて泣いて咲いて散ったこの思いは
So blinded I can't see the end

Look how far we've made it
The pain I can't escape it
このままじゃまだ終わらせる事は出来ないでしょ
何度くたばりそうでも朽ち果てようとも
終わりはないさ
So where do I begin

握りしめた 失わぬようにと
手を広げればこぼれ落ちそうで
失うものなどなかった日々の惰性を捨てて
君を

Just tell me why baby
They might call me crazy
For saying I'll fight until there is no more
愁いを含んだ閃光 眼光は感覚的衝動
Blinded I can't see the end

Look how far we've made it
The pain I can't escape it
このままじゃまだ終わらせる事は出来ないでしょ
何度くたばりそうでも朽ち果てようとも
終わりはないさ
It finally begins
