says so and again I go on living

救い損ねて生きてゆく

while failing to help someone.

すれ違う人　愛せたなら

If I could've loved the person I had passed by,

「知らない知らない」

誰かはいつも誰かのまま

dareka wa itsumo dareka no mama

Yet some person, as they are, always

passes along and vanishes.

知らぬ場所に消えるよ

shiranu basho ni kieru yo

while failing to choose something.

すれ違い　心見えたなら

If I could've looked into your heart when we had our disagreements,

「要らない要らない」

"iranai iranai"

I wouldn't be going,

“I don't need that, I don't need that.”

貴方はいつも貴方のまま

degrading, swallowed up by time.

You'll crumble, you'll be finished.
