I realize the screaming pain
Hearing loud in my brain
But I’m going straight ahead with the scar

“Better to forget, better to go numb”
I put a lid on my scraped heart

“I don’t mind the hurt cause I don’t feel the pain anymore”
As I limp away

I lost sight of myself, and I
Collapsed with a clatter
Before I knew it, there was only the wind to be heard…

I followed your scars to let you know
Before you were crushed by the world
Do you remember that sky filled with tears
That pain has protected you
This pain is what always protects you

“Kindness that seeks not to hurt is more important than having the strength not to be hurt”
That voice carried a hint of sorrow

Like buttons that were done up wrong
The heart had left the body
Seize your heart once again

I followed your scars to come to let you know
Before you were crushed by the world
Do you remember that sky filled with tears
That pain has protected you
This pain is what always protects you

That sound of someone crying I once heard was
No doubt, my own
Everything happened for this moment…

I guess I knew from the start
Please don’t ever let me go again
You realized this was my sign to you
That pain has protected you

I followed your scars to let you know
That if that was the case, there was nothing to fear anymore
Don’t forget the reason behind that smile
That pain has protected you
That pain has protected you
This pain is what always protects you

I realize the screaming pain
Hearing loud in my brain
But I’m going straight ahead with the scar

「忘れてしまえばいいよ　感じなくなっちゃえばいい」
擦りむいた心に蓋(ふた)をしたんだ

「傷ついたって平気だよ　もう痛みは無いからね」
その足を引きずりながらも

見失った　自分自身が
音を立てて　崩れていった
気付けば風の音だけが…

伝えに来たよ　傷跡を辿って
世界に押しつぶされてしまう前に
覚えてるかな　涙の空を
あの痛みが君の事を守ってくれた
その痛みがいつも君を守ってるんだ

「傷付かない強さよりも　傷つけない優しさを」
その声はどこか悲しそうで

掛け違えた　ボタンみたいに
こころ身体　離れていった
もう一度　心を掴んで

伝えに来たよ　傷跡を辿って
世界に押しつぶされてしまう前に
覚えてるかな　涙の空を
あの痛みが君の事を守ってくれた
その痛みがいつも君を守ってるんだ

いつか聞いた　あの泣き声は
間違いなくそう　自分のだった
全てはこの時のために…

きっと始めから　わかってたんだ
もう二度と自分だけは離さないで
気付いてくれた　君への合図
あの痛みが君の事を守ってくれた

伝えに来たよ　傷跡を辿って
それなら　もう恐れるものはないんだと
忘れないでね　笑顔の訳を
あの痛みが君の事を守ってくれた
あの痛みが君の事を守ってくれた
その痛みがいつも君を守ってるんだ
