Yakusoku wa Iranai / I Don't Need Promises
Grapefruit, Hotchpotch

nee, aishitara, daremo ga
konna kodoku ni naru no?
nee, kurayami yori mo, fukai kurushimi
dakishimeteru no?

nanimo kamo ga futari kagayaku tame
kitto 

kimi wo, kimi wo ai shiteru
kokoro de, mitsumete iru
kimi wo, kimi wo shinjiteru
samui yoru mo

nee, koishite mo, dare nimo itsu ka
owari ga kuru no?
nee, aozora yori mo, sunda
tokimeki sutete shimau no?

kisetsu kawaru no kaze
michi wo hashiru, zutto

kimi wo, kimi wo ai shiteru
kokoro de, mitsumete iru
kimi wo, kimi wo shinjiteru
samui yoru mo

tatoe ashita nakushite mo
anata wo ushinatte mo
dekiru kagiri no egao de kagayakitai

namida de ima yobikakeru
yakusoku nado iranai
kimi ga kureta taisetsu na tsuyosa dakara

hitomi de ima yobikakeru
yakusoku nado iranai
hitomi de ima te wo nobasu
samui yoru mo
Say, does everyone feel this lonely
when they’re in love? 
Say, do they embrace the pain
that’s even deeper than the darkness?

It’s all been so that we can shine,
I just know it!

You, I love you
I’m gazing at you with my heart
You, I believe in you
Even on the coldest night

Say, even if someone’s in love,
could the end someday come for them, too? 
Say, could you just throw away a feeling
that’s clearer than even the blue sky?

The wind of the changing seasons
Running along the street, all the way

You, I love you
I’m gazing at you with my heart
You, I believe in you
Even on the coldest night

Even if I lost tomorrow
and even if I lost you, too
I want to shine, smiling as best I can

With my tears, I call out to you now
I don’t need promises, or anything like that
Because you gave me your precious strength

With my eyes, I call out to you now
I don’t need promises, or anything like that
With my eyes, I reach out to you now
Even on the coldest night
