YOUR SIDE~~~~~~

It's a little funny story sou mou modorenai
Iie wo dete I miss your heart
Kimi no tame sagashiteta Present
Nakusanu you ni mune ni shimau Oh nono...

Kuchibiru karamete ita ase iki zukai
Ikisou de You kiss so smart
Yurusarenai futari no koi wa choppoke na guuzen demo

If you love I imagine you kimi no kanashimi zembu
Kakushiteru namida no wake
Subete wo tsutsumi kimi wo ai su yo~
Sore kurai shika dekinai kedo
I'm on your side

Nisemono no yubiwa ga ima sei ippai
Nani mo nai I hate myself
Sore nanoni kimi wa ore ni dake subete yurusu dakishimetai
If you love I imagine you Kimi no yasashisa sagashi

Mayotteta toki wa sugite
Neru made ore wa kimi wo aisu yo~
Sore kurai shikai ienai kedo
I'm on your side

( Tanaka Koki's rap )
Baby, I can see in your eyes. It's a holy slowly night.
Hold you tight, shiritai kokoro no kizuato
Know the last chance. I cannot miss this shot
Whenever, wherever, futari forever...

Sore nanoni ore ni dake...
Kimi to ikiruu..

If you love I imagine you Kimi no kanashimi zembu
Kakushiteru namida no wake
Subete wo tsutsumi kimi wo aisu yo~
Sore kurai shika dekinai kedo
I'm on your side

If you love I imagine you Kimi no yasashisa sagashi (your heart)
If you love I imagine you Mayotteta toki wa sugite (toki was sugite)
Neru made ore wa kimi wo aisu yo
(I miss your heart, I’m on your side)
I’m on your side
(On your side)
(Yeah~)
(You’re mine)
