Lyrics
冷たい風...骨に刺さる...
Still I feel you in the air...
冷たい風が骨に刺さる
去年の痛みがまた蘇る
私から奪った春の香り
あの四月消えないまま
桜の下で泣いた笑顔
嘘みたいに消えた記憶
青空の下黒い影が
すべてを奪っていった
Why can't I let it go
Why can't I breathe alone
あの四月がやってくる
逃げ場のないこの記憶
壊れた心叫んでも止まらない
this endless pain
あの四月が離れない
胸を締めつける影
戻れないと分かっても
I'm still calling your name
時計の針が響いてる
止めたいのに止められない
灰色の道を歩くだけ
振り向けばすべて幻
真夜中の月が眩しくて
心臓が燃えるように痛い
もしもう一度出会えたなら
声を枯らして呼ぶだろう
Tell me where you are
Tell me who I am
あの四月がやってくる
胸の奥を焼き尽くす
思い出に埋もれてく
消えないまま falling down
あの四月が終わらない
夜に溺れていく
救えないと知りながら
I'm still lost in your light
消せない消えない君の残像だけ
触れたい届かない夢の中でも
あの四月がやってくる
何度でも繰り返す
壊れた私の時間は
あの日から止まったまま
あの四月が終わらない
春はもう来ないのに
それでもまだ探してる
I'm still calling your name
冷たい風がまた吹く
Still I remember you…

Cold wind… it cuts into my bones…
Still I feel you in the air…
The freezing wind pierces through my bones
Last year’s pain comes rushing back again
The scent of spring you took away from me
That April still won’t fade
Beneath the cherry blossoms, a tearful smile
Memories vanish like they were never real
Under the blue sky, a shadow turned black
And took everything from me
Why can’t I let it go
Why can’t I breathe alone
That April is coming back again
Nowhere left for me to hide
Even if this broken heart screams out loud
This endless pain won’t stop
That April won’t let me go
A shadow tightening in my chest
Even knowing I can’t go back
I’m still calling your name
The ticking clock echoes in my head
I try to stop it, but I just can’t
Walking alone on this colorless road
When I look back, it’s all just a ghost
The midnight moon is blinding bright
My heart burns like it’s on fire
If I could ever see you once again
I’d call your name until my voice runs dry
Tell me where you are
Tell me who I am
That April is coming back again
Burning everything inside my chest
Buried deep within these memories
Still falling down, still fading out
That April never ends
I’m drowning deeper in the night
Even knowing I can’t be saved
I’m still lost inside your light
I can’t erase it, your lingering shadow
Even in dreams, I can’t reach you
That April is coming back again
Repeating over and over again
My broken time has stopped completely
Since that day, it never moved
That April never ends
Even though spring will never come
Still I keep searching for you
I’m still calling your name
The cold wind blows again
Still I remember you…
