Lyrics - Original Japanese Version

Kimi no kotoba wa
Yume no yasashisa ka na?
Uso o zenbu ooikakushiteru
Zurui yo ne

Tabi tatsu kimi ni
Tsumetai senaka misete
Kiite ita yo hitori tatakau no?
Zurui yo ne

"Kaette kuru kara"
Oikoshite yuku kimi no koe
Ijihatte, tsuyoi furi
Toki o modoshite: sakeba yokatta?
Ikanaide to namida koboshitara?
Ima wa dekiru, donna koto mo

Ienakatta, sen no kotoba o
Harukana kimi no senaka ni okuru yo
Tsubasa ni kaete

Ienakatta, sen no kotoba o
Kizu tsuita kimi no senaka ni yorisoi
Dakishimeru

Yume no tsuzuki wa kimi o omoinagara
Ano hi no koto wasureta furi shite
Zurui yo ne

"Tegami o kaku kara"
Shisen sorashita kimi no koe
Ijihatte, tsuyoi furi
Toki o modoshite: okoreba yokatta?
Matenai yo to kata o otoshitara?
Ima wa dekiru, donna koto mo

Kikoeteru, sen no kotoba o?
Mienai kimi no senaka ni okuru yo
Tsubasa ni kaete

Kikoeteru, sen no kotoba o?
Tsukareta kimi no senaka ni yorisoi
Dakishimeru

Ienakatta, sen no kotoba o
La la la la...
Kimi no senaka ni okuru yo
Tsubasa ni kaete

Kikoeteru, sen no kotoba o?
La la la la...
Kimi no senaka ni yorisoi
La la la la la....

Lyrics - English Translation

Your words
The kindness of a dream?
Covering up all the lies
How unfair

You're leaving on your journey
Coldly you turn your back on me
I heard you're fighting alone?
How unfair

"I'll be back"
Your voice, passing me by
Being stubborn, pretending to be strong
Turn back time: should I have screamed?
Let loose the tears with a "Don't go"?
Now I can do anything

I couldn't say those thousand words
I'll send them toward your far-away back
Turn them into wings

I couldn't say those thousand words
I draw close to your wounded back
And hold you

The dream continues as I think of you
Pretending to have forgotten about that day
How unfair

"I'll write"
Your voice, eyes averted
Being stubborn, pretending to be strong
Turn back time: should I have gotten angry?
Shrugged my shoulders with a "I can't wait"?
Now I can do anything

Can you hear them, those thousand words?
I'll send them toward your unseen back
Turn them into wings

Can you hear them, those thousand words?
I draw close to your exhausted back
And hold you

I couldn't say those thousand words
La la la la...
I'll send them toward your back
Turn them into wings

Can you hear them, those thousand words?
La la la la...
I draw close to your back
La la la la...

Lyrics - Rejected English Version

I know that you lied to me
Using just your words to shatter me
Your words are like a dream
But dreams could never fool me
It's not right to me...

I'm acting so distant now
Turned my back as you walked away
But I was listening
That you fight your battles far from me
It's not right to me...

"Don't you worry 'cause I come back."
I could hear you speaking as you walked through the door
I acted strong to hide the pain when I turned back the pages
Crying out a windy answer
What if I shed my tears and begged you not to leave?

But now I'm not afraid
To do what's in my heart...

Those thousand words have never been spoken
So far away I'm sending them to you wherever you are
Suspended on shiny wings

Those thousand words have never been spoken
They'll treasure you, make you no longer dare seem
So far away, and hold you forever

That dream isn't over yet
I pretend and say, "I can't forget."
I still live in my day
You've been there with me all the way
It's not right of me...

"Don't you worry 'cause I'll write to you."
I could see you speaking as you looked away
I acted strong to hide the love when I turned back the pages
Anger might've been the answer
But if I shook my head and said that I can't wait

But now I'm not afraid
To do what's in my heart...

Those thousand words have never been spoken
So far away I'm sending them to you wherever you are
Suspended on shiny wings

Those thousands words have never been spoken
They'll treasure you, make you no longer dare seem
So far away and hold you forever

Those thousand words have never been spoken
La la la la
I'm sending them to you wherever you are
Suspended on shiny wings

Those thousands words have never been spoken
La la la la
Make you no longer here feel like calling me
La la la la...
