charade(Lyrics)
Songwriting : HANCE Arrangement : Kentaro Ishigaki
I can't get close to your heart even now, I've gently moved away as many times as your tears.
If we meet on a street corner at night, let's leave our lonely thoughts there
Lonely and close to each other, not waiting for an answer.
If you're choosing words, I'll hold you.
I could feel your breath for just a few moments, so I smiled as softly as your tears.
If we meet in that place tonight, let's kiss there as many times as we want.
Shoulder to shoulder, in pain, not knowing the answer.
If you're choosing words, I'll accept you
Lonely and close to each other, not waiting for an answer.
If you're choosing words, I'll hold you.
Shoulder to shoulder, in pain, not knowing the answer.
If you're choosing words, I'll accept you.
I'll accept you.
I'll never let you go.
