Utada Hikaru

Romaji

Chiisana koto de daiji na mono wo ushinatta
Tsumetai yubiwa ga watashi ni hikatte miseta
"ima sae areba ii" to itta kedo sou ja nakatta
Anata e tsudzuku doa ga oto mo naku kieta

Anata no shiawase negau hodo wagamama ga fueteku yo
Soredemo anata wo hikitometai itsu datte sou
Dareka no negai ga kanau koro ano ko ga naiteru yo
Sono mama tobira no oto wa naranai

Minna ni hitsuyou to sareru kimi mo iyaseru tatta
Hitori ni naritakute sukoshi gaman shisugita na

Jibun no shiawase negau koto wagamama dewa nai deshou
Sore nara anata wo dakiyosetai dekiru dake gyutto
Watashi wo namida ga kawaku koro ano ko ga naiteru yo
Kono mama bokura no jimen wa kawakanai

Anata no shiawase negau hodo wagamama ga fueteku yo
Anata wa watashi wo hikitomenai itsu datte sou
Dareka no negai ga kanau koro ano ko ga naiteru yo
Minna mo negai wa douji ni wa kanawanai

Chiisana chikyuu ga mawaru hodo yasashisa mi ni tsuku yo
Mou ichido anata wo dakishimetai dekiru dake

English

Through something small, I lost something precious
The sparkle of my cold ring told me that
“I wish I could just have this moment” I said, but I didn’t
The door to you disappeared without a sound

The more I wish for your happiness, the more selfish I become
But I want to keep you with me for always, yeah
When someone’s wish comes true, that girl is crying
There’s still no sound coming from the door

Everyone needs you, I can heal you
I just want to be alone, I’ve been through too much

Wishing for my own happiness isn’t selfish, right?
If it’s not, then I want to hold you as tight as I can
When my tears dry, that girl is crying
Our ground still hasn’t dried

The more I wish for your happiness, the more selfish I become
You won’t keep me with you forever
When someone’s wish comes true, that girl is crying
Everyone’s wishes don’t come true at the same time

As this small world keeps turning, I get better at tenderness
I want to hold you once more
As gently as I can
