Verse 1
(Mid-tempo, spacious, smooth vocal delivery)
This empty space is echoing,
君が飛び立つ空を見てる
But now I'm watching the horizon,
長いサヨナラを待つだけ
(Just waiting for a long goodbye)
I never should have compromised,
Or fed the hunger in your eyes.
You grew into a towering tree,
僕はまだ土の中の種 (I'm still a seed in the dirt)
Pre-Chorus (Faster, rhythmic, drums start building)
Echoes of the things you said,
頭の中を回ってる
I’m just hanging by a thread,
流した涙は戻らない
(Can't un-cry the tears I bled)
Chorus 1 (Explosive, full band/heavy synths dropping in)
Swept away by every promise that you made!
I was the one who climbed the mountain in the shade!
Everything I did, every single part of me,
Was just to see you—
ただ君が自由になるように
(Just so you could be free)
Verse 2 (Punchy, driving bassline, faster vocal delivery gliding over the beat)
The roots you laid have broken through the ground,
While I'm still hiding 見えない場所で
You're chasing down the sun in every sky,
影の中から見つめてる
(...watching from inside the shadows)
I told myself I wouldn't pull you back,
But now my world is fading into black.
You got the sky, the stars, the galaxy,
思い出に縛られたまま
(...leaving me tied up in the memory)
Pre-Chorus (High tension, rising synth riser)
Echoes of the things you said,
頭の中を回ってる
I’m just hanging by a thread,
流した涙は戻らない
(Can't un-cry the tears I bled)
Chorus 2 (Massive energy, maximum volume)
Swept away by every promise that you made!
I was the one who climbed the mountain in the shade!
Everything I did, every single part of me,
Was just to see you—
ただ君が自由になるように (Tada kimi ga jiyuu ni naru you ni)
(Just so you could be free)
Bridge (The Emotional Pivot)
(Music cuts out almost entirely. Very slow, intimate vocals, building back up to a crescendo)
もし時間を巻き戻せたら…
(Moshi jikan o maki-modosetara... / If I could rewind time...)
それでも君に一線を越えさせてしまうだろうか？
(Soredemo kimi ni issen o koesasete shimau darou ka? / Would I still let you cross the line?)
(Drum fill kicks in)
I gave you wings, and I took the fall!
君に全てを捧げるために、心を壊した！
(Kimi ni subete o sasageru tame ni, kokoro o kowashita! / To give you everything, I broke my heart!)
Guitar Solo / Dance Break
(120-130 BPM high-energy instrumental section)
Final Chorus (Bilingual Mashup - Maximized Emotion) (Adding background vocal runs/ad-libs. Singing the first half in Japanese, returning to English for the punchline)
君が交わした全ての約束に心を奪われた！
僕は陰に隠れて山を登った！
Everything I did, every single part of me,
Was just to see you—
ただ君が自由になるのを見るためだった。
Outro (Bilingual Fade Out)
(Music fading out, returning to the moody atmosphere of Verse 1)
ああ、君はそびえ立つ木だ…
And I'm still a seed.
ただ君が自由になるのを見たいだけ。
Just to see you free.
