I realise the screaming pain Hearing loud in my brain But I'm going straight ahead with the scar

忘れてしまえばいいよ 感じなくなっちゃえばいい 擦(す)りむいた心に蓋(ふた)をしたんだ

傷ついたって平気だよ もう痛みは無いからね その足を引きずりながらも

見失った自分自身が 音を立てて崩れていった 気付けば風の音だけが…

伝えに来たよ　傷跡を辿って 世界に押しつぶされてしまう前に 覚えてるかな 涙の空を あの痛みが君の事を守ってくれた その痛みがいつも君を守ってるんだ

伝えに来たよ　傷跡を辿って 世界に押しつぶされてしまう前に 覚えてるかな 涙の空を あの痛みが君の事を守ってくれた その痛みがいつも君を守ってるんだ

「傷付かない強さよりも 傷つけない優しさを」 その声はどこか悲しそうで

掛け違えた　ボタンみたいに こころ身体　離れていった もう一度 心を掴んで

伝えに来たよ　傷跡を辿って 世界に押しつぶされてしまう前に 覚えてるかな 涙の空を あの痛みが君の事を守ってくれた その痛みがいつも君を守ってるんだ

いつか聞いた あの泣き声は 間違いなくそう 自分のだった 全てはこの時のために…

きっと始めから わかってたんだ もう二度と自分だけは離さないで 気付いてくれた　君への合図 あの痛みが君の事を守ってくれた

伝えに来たよ　傷跡を辿って それなら もう恐れるものはないんだと 忘れないでね 笑顔の訳を あの痛みが君の事を守ってくれた あの痛みが君の事を守ってくれた その痛みがいつも君を守ってるんだ

English
I realise the screaming pain Hearing loud in my brain But I'm going straight ahead With this scar

Can you hear me Can you hear me Can you hear me, so am I

I don't mind if you don't remember All the feelings that we used to share For I've sealed away my heart into the darkness

It's just fine if you end up hurting me 'cause I don't feel pain anymore I just drag my feet behind me Towards what's held in store

I had been led astray With no hope to be found My heart withered away And I fell to the ground

Then I heard a voice within the blowing of the wind

Please let me show you the pain My scars have made me obtain Before the weight of the world Comes crashing down on my shoulders

Do you remember the time Our tears fell down from the sky

Someday soon when I'm gone Never think that I'll neglect you For the pain that I've Sealed away in your heart will protect you

Can you hear me, so am I

English (Full Version— literal)
I realize the screaming pain Hearing loud in my brain But I'm going straight ahead with the scar

Can you hear me/can you hear me/can you hear me So am I

It's okay if you've forgotten It's okay if you don't feel it anymore I know it's because you've covered up your scraped up heart

It's okay if you hurt me because there's no pain anymore Even as you're dragging your feet behind you

The self you lost Made a sound, then crumbled to nothing If you realize it, only the sound of the wind...

has come to answer you, so follow the scar Before you are crushed under the weight of the world Do you remember? That sky of tears That pain has protected you for me That pain is always protecting you

"More than the strength to not hurt anyone, towards a kindness that doesn't hurt anyone" In that voice, somewhere, sadly

Like crossed buttons You've separated your body from your heart One more time, grab onto your heart...

I've come to answer you, so follow the scar before you are crushed under the weight of the world Do you remember it? That sky filled with tears That pain protected you for me This pain is always protecting you

That crying voice heard somewhere, sometime Unmistakably was mine All of it was for this moment...

I'm sure you knew from the very beginning Just don't ever let go of yourself again As a sign to you who has realized that, That pain has protected you for me

I've come to answer you, so follow the scar If you do so, there's no longer anything to fear Don't forget it, okay? It was all for that smiling face That pain has protected you for me That pain has protected you for me This pain will always protect you for me

I realise the screaming pain Hearing loud in my brain But I'm going straight ahead, with this scar

Can You Hear Me (x2) Can You Hear Me (So am I)

i don't mind if you don't remember all the feelings that we used to share cause i sealed my heart into the darkness

it's just fine if you end up hurting me, cause i don't feel pain anymore I just drag my feet behind me, Towards what's held in store

I had been led astray With no hope to be found My heart withered away And I fell to the ground

Then I heard a voice within the blowing of the wind

Please let me show you the pain My scars have made me obtain Before the weight of the world Comes crashing down on my shoulders

Do you remember the time Our tears fell down from the sky

Someday soon when I'm gone Never think that I'll neglect you For the pain that I've Sealed away in your heart will protect you

Can you hear me, so am I

Although I've blocked all of my feelings Even the ones caused by being kind Every now and then I hear a voice Inside me seem to cry

Like when you undo A button from it's hole My bitter torment drew My body from my soul

So I'm crying out in hopes to fill my empty heart

Please let me show you the pain My scars have made me obtain Before the weight of the world Comes crashing down on my shoulders

Do you remember the time Our tears fell down from the sky

Someday soon when I'm gone Never think that I'll neglect you For the pain that I've Sealed away in your heart will protect you

Can you hear it? Can you feel it? Can you hear me? Can you hear me?

Can you hear me? Can you hear me? Can you hear me? So am I

I have finally found All of the heartbroken moans That I keep hearing sound Are from my voice alone

And I've done this all for this one moment here with you

I'm sure that right from the start You always knew in your heart That I'd always be the one That you could count on to care for you

I have been leading you to The sign that I left for you Someday soon when I'm gone Never think that I'll neglect you

If you will follow the pain That through me you have obtained There is nothing in this world That will be able to hurt you

But don't forget all the things That bring out your smile away

Someday soon when I'm gone Never think that I'll neglect you Someday soon when I'm gone Never think that I'll neglect you For the pain that I've Sealed away in your heart will protect you

Can you hear me Can you hear me Can you hear me So am I
