Lyrics

Japanese (日本語歌詞)	Romaji (ローマ字)	English
BABY　悲しみの強烈なスコール BABY　まどろみを彷徨う孤独感	BABY Kanashimi no kyōretsuna sukōru BABY Madoromi o samayō kodoku-kan	Baby, I'm a broken man, I'm just a shattering storm. Baby, try to find my way as the lonely shadows swarm.
WOWWOWWOW　男は MISSING YOU　寂しい OH IT'S BLUE・・・Crying	WOWWOWWOW Otoko wa MISSING YOU Sabishī OH IT'S BLUE・・・Crying	Whoa, I'm just a man, Missing you, please understand. Without you, I'm dying.
NO　誰にも　言わない魂 結局孤独　選ぶよ NO　戻れない　ガキだったあの日に 戻る事出来ない	NO Darenimo Iwanai tamashī Kekkyoku kodoku Erabu yo NO Modorenai Gakidatta ano hi ni Modoru koto dekinai	No, no one will know how I bear my pain alone. In the end, I choose my solitude. No! I can't go back to my days of innocence. Can't go back, there is no return.
去年よりも　ひとつ年を重ねた 君は君は今はどこだろう	Kyonen yori mo Hitotsu-toshi o kasaneta Kimi wa kimi wa ima wa dokodarou	Another cycle of seasons has passed us by and I can't help Wonder, I wonder, I wonder just where you are now.
とても綺麗になったと噂を 聞かされたけれど	Totemo kirei ni natta to uwasa o Kikasa retakeredo	I hear from everyone that you are different and that you are Yet more beautiful than before.
WOWWOW 君が今をとてもとても幸せ 感じているなら それも大切な現実	WOWWOW Kimi ga ima o totemo totemo shiawase Kanjite irunara Sore mo taisetsuna genjitsu	Whoa... If you say that you are happier now and that's just the way you Feel about everything now, Well then I guess it's just the way that it is...
