Afterglow - That's why I'm here. Lyrics (Romanized)
BanG Dream! Girls Band Party Song Lyrics (Romanized)

1.分かってたことだった　ずっと何処かで
2.いつか迎えるその日を　目の端に追い払っても
3.信じてやまなかった永遠は
4.あっけなく終わってしまう
5.瞬きをする間に6.
7.(Oh oh oh)
8.大切だから傷つけたくない
9.(Oh oh oh)
10.大切だから傷つきたくない
11.ずるいね　全部言い訳だった
12.それじゃ何も守れない
13.痛くて　苦しくても──14.
15.勝手に燃え尽きて
16.勝手に終わらせないで　お願い
17.君しかいらない　この夕焼けだけでいい
18.だからさ、歌わせてあたしたちを
19.可能性も未来もまだまだ
20.怖くたって　辛くたって
21.もう逃げない　逃げたくないから22.
23.当たり前にあった色々が
24.一つ一つと無くなり　それがまた当たり前へと
25.残酷さに潜む煌めきが
26.季節も人も時間も　美しいと思わせるんだ27.
28.(Oh oh oh)
29.伸びた前髪　ほつれたボタン
30.(Oh oh oh)
31.褪せた教科書　窓からの景色
32.変わってゆくものと
33.変わってはいけないものを
34.あたしたち知ってるから　大丈夫35.
36.淡い桃色　青みがかったオレンジ　燃える赤
37.これからはどんな色も見逃さない　絶対
38.終わらせてあげないから
39.君が思う何百倍もの大好きで離さないよ
40.間違いだったなんて思わないよう41.
42.(Oh oh oh)43.
44.あたしそしてみんな
45.それぞれから見えている夕焼けが
46.大事なものに変わりはない
47.今はそれだけでいいさ48.
49.想う気持ちは一緒なんだから50.
51.勝手に燃え尽きて
52.勝手に終わらせないで　お願い
53.君しかいらない　この夕焼けだけでいい
54.だからさ、歌わせてあたしたちを
55.可能性も未来もまだまだ
56.怖くたって　辛くたって
57.もう逃げない　逃げたくないから58.
59.あたしがずっと　守るからきっと60.
61.…こっちを見て62.
63.分かってたことだった　ずっと何処かで
64.だからこそ真正面で
65.受け止めてよ　あたしを

1.It was something I knew all along, somewhere deep inside
2.Even if I try to push away the day that will eventually come
3.The eternity I believed in
4.Ends so easily
5.In the blink of an eye6.
7.(Oh oh oh)
8.Because it’s important, I don’t want to hurt you
9.(Oh oh oh)
10.Because it’s important, I don’t want to be hurt
11.It’s unfair, it was all just excuses
12.With that, you can’t protect anything
13.Even if it hurts, even if it’s painful──14.
15.Burning out on its own
16.Don’t end it on your own, please
17.I only need you, this sunset is enough
18.So let us sing
19.There are still so many possibilities, so much future
20.Even if it’s scary, even if it’s tough
21.I won’t run away anymore, because I don’t want to run away22.
23.Various things that were taken for granted
24.One by one, they disappear, and that becomes the new normal
25.The glitter hidden in cruelty
26.Makes seasons, people, and time. Seem beautiful27.
28.(Oh oh oh)
29.Long bangs, a button that’s coming loose
30.(Oh oh oh)
31.A faded textbook, the view from the window
32.Things that are changing
33.And things that shouldn’t change
34.We know them all, so it’s okay35.
36.Pale pink, bluish orange, burning red
37.From now on, I won’t overlook any color, never
38.Because I won’t let it end
39.I love you hundreds of times more than you think, I won’t let you go
40.I won’t let you think it was a mistake41.
42.(Oh oh oh)43.
44.Me, and everyone else
45.The sunset we see from each of our perspectives
46.Is still something precious
47.For now, that’s enough48.
49.Our feelings are the same50.
51.Burning out on its own
52.Don’t end it on your own, please
53.I only need you, this sunset is enough
54.So let us sing
55.There are still so many possibilities, so much future
56.Even if it’s scary, even if it’s tough
57.I won’t run away anymore, because I don’t want to run away58.
59.Because I will always protect you, for sure60.
61.…Look this way62.
63.It was something I knew all along, somewhere deep inside
64.That’s why, face me
65.And accept me head-on
