Romaji

Only sixteen
Konya mujun darake no jiyuu ni
Owarenagara hashiridasu

Nannimo shibararetakunai tte
Sakebinagara
Kizuna motometeru hey
Mamorareru dake ja naku
Dareka wo mamoritai

Give me a reason to show you
Riyuu mo naku hohoemu tabi ni
(Won't you) tell me why I should try to
Ashita wo mitsumeyou to shinaide
Give me a reason to love you
Subete no housoku uragitte miseru
Tatoe sore ga unmei demo

Hitori dake no chikai
Gyutto sasayaite nemuru
Mou sukoshi dake sunao demo ii

Yatto mitsuketa kotae wa sugata wo kae
Watashi wo madowasu hey
Kuyashii hodo tooku kara
Karakawareteru mitai

Give me a reason to show you
Itsuka kimi ni oitsukitai
(Won't you) tell me why I should try to
Chikazuku hodo ni tooku naru mitai da
Give me a reason to love you
Ima wa hitori ja nai de
If I had you
Kono yoru mo kowakunai no ni

Give me a reason to show you
Furikaerinagara kita michi
(Won't you) tell me why I should try to
Mou tachitomaru koto wo osorenai yo
Give me a reason to love you
Honto wa wake nante iranai
Kodomo mitai ni koe wo agete hashirou

Give me a reason to show you...

English

I'm only sixteen
My freedom is full of contradictions
I run away tonight as it chases me

At the same time as I'm yelling
That I don't want to be bound by anything
I'm searching for a bond, hey
I don't just want to be protected
I want to protect someone

Give me a reason to show you
Every time I smile for no reason
(Won't you) tell me why I should try to
Without looking for tomorrow
Give me a reason to love you
I'll break all the rules
If that's what I'm destined to do

You're the only one who's promised that
You whispered it intensely before you went to sleep
You could put it a little more frankly

When you finally found the answer, it changed you
I'm charmed by it, hey
It's like you're kidding me
From so far away that it's annoying

Give me a reason to show you
I want to catch up to you someday
(Won't you) tell me why I should try to
It's like whenever I get closer to you you move further away
Give me a reason to love you
Don't leave me on my own now
If I had you
I wouldn't even be afraid of this night

Give me a reason to show you
I'm no longer afraid of standing still
(Won't you) tell me why I should try to
In this street I came to when I turned back
Give me a reason to love you
The truth is I don't need a reason
Let's raise our voices and run like children

Give me a reason to show you...
