Lyrics

I've been thrown the gaijin glare for so long
By now I take the scorn in stride
Got no time for pride, that only serves to divide
Got no time for miscommunication

I've been trying to set this straight for so long
Trying to hammer out what's bent
You trust in my intent, you must be heaven-sent
And I've been trying to let you know
That I love you so

I've been trying to find a girl for so long
That tears have often filled my eyes
Under azure skies, as we said our last goodbyes
I was trying to let you know
That I love you so

I love you so
You'll never know
But I love you so
I love you so, oh, oh, Woah

I've been trying to set this straight for so long
Trying to hammer out what's bent
You trust in my intent, you must be heaven-sent
And I've been trying to let you know
How much I need you

I've been trying to find a girl for so long
That tears have often filled my eyes
Under azure skies, as we said our last goodbyes
I was trying to let you know
That I love you so

I love you so
You'll never know
But I love you so
I love you so, oh, oh, Woah

Ah, ah
Ah, ah
Ah, ah

Japanese Lyrics

美しい渋谷
外人だと皆を差す
他人（ヒト）を見下すような眼で
溝を探めるだけの
プライドや言葉の壁に拘ってる場合じゃない
そう、ずっと、割り切ろうとしてた
歪んだ心（モノ）叩き直し
君は、そんな僕をわかってくれる女神
君に伝えよう
I love you so...
ずっと、君を探し続け
何度も泣きたくなった
あの青空の下、別れの言葉を交わした
君に伝えたかった
I love you so...
忘れないで
でも、I love you so...
