Romanized Lyrics

Iroiro kawatte yuku
Machi mo hayari no fuku mo
Demo wasurenaide
Nani wo erabu ka wa jibun da to
Dare ga kimeta no ka mo
Wakaranai joushiki ya
Minna no iu koto ga
Tadashii ki ga shite

Kokoro o oita basho ga
Kyuukutsu de shikkuri konakute
Tsubasa mo hirogerarenai
Sore ja imi ga nai wa

Anata wa dare to mo chigau
Watashi mo dare to mo chigau
Shiawase no katachi mo sou
Sorezore chigau hazu yo ne
Anata ni wa anata no tame
Watashi ni wa watashi no tame no
Pittari hamaru shiawase no
Katachi ga kanarazu aru no

Kaze no naka de saiteru
Karen na hana mitai ni
Toki ni wa tsumetai ame mo
Hitsuyou to ima wa wakaru

Honto wa kizuiteru desho?
Kanashimi ya tsurai dekigoto mo
Nanika wo oshiete kureta
Muimi na koto nado nai wa

Anata wa dare to mo chigau
Watashi mo dare to mo chigau
Shiawase no katachi mo sou
Sorezore chigatte mo ii no
Donna fuu ni ikite mo
Kore dake wa wasurenaide ne
Shiawase mitsukeru chikara
Watashitachi wa motteiru

Anata wa dare to mo chigau
Watashi mo dare to mo chigau
Shiawase no katachi mo sou
Sorezore chigau hazu yo ne
Anata ni wa anata no tame
Watashi ni wa watashi no tame no
Pittari hamaru shiawase no
Katachi ga kanarazu aru no

Shiawase mitsukeru chikara
Watashitachi wa motteiru

English Lyrics

So much is changing now
The city streets, the clothes in style
But never lose sight of this
What you choose is always up to you
This 'common sense,' who knows where it began?
Or the way that everyone insists
Their words must hold the only truth...
It can start to feel that way

If the place you rest your soul
Feels tight, like it doesn't fit
If you can't even spread your wings
Then what's the point of it?

You're unlike anyone else
And I'm unlike anyone too
So the shape of happiness we find
Must be different for me and you
There's one that's meant just for you
And one that's meant just for me
A form of joy that fits just right
It's out there, certainly

Like a delicate flower
Blooming in the wind's embrace
Sometimes even the cold, hard rain
Is needed now I see its place

Deep down, you know it's true, don't you?
The sadness, the times that feel so wrong
Each one was there to teach you something
Nothing's wasted, all along

You're unlike anyone else
And I'm unlike anyone too
So the shape of happiness we find
It's okay that they're different too
Whatever way you choose to live
Just hold this knowledge near
The strength to find our happiness
We already hold it here

You're unlike anyone else
And I'm unlike anyone too
So the shape of happiness we find
Must be different for me and you
There's one that's meant just for you
And one that's meant just for me
A form of joy that fits just right
It's out there, certainly

We hold the strength to find our happiness

Japanese Lyrics

いろいろ変わっていく
街も流行りの服も
でも忘れないで
何を選ぶかは自分だと
誰が決めたのかも
わからない常識や
みんなの言う事が
正しい気がして

心を置いた場所が
窮屈でしっくりこなくて
翼も広げられない
それじゃ意味が無いわ

あなたは誰とも違う
私も誰とも違う
幸せの形もそう
それぞれ違うはずよね
あなたにはあなたのため
私には私のための
ぴったりはまる幸せの
形が必ずあるの

風の中で咲いてる
可憐な花みたいに
時には冷たい雨も
必要と今はわかる

ホントは気づいてるでしょ?
悲しみや辛い出来事も
何かを教えてくれた
無意味な事など無いわ

あなたは誰とも違う
私も誰とも違う
幸せの形もそう
それぞれ違ってもいいの
どんな風に生きても
これだけは忘れないでね
幸せ見つける力
私たちは持っている

あなたは誰とも違う
私も誰とも違う
幸せの形もそう
それぞれ違うはずよね
あなたにはあなたのため
私には私のための
ぴったりはまる幸せの
形が必ずあるの

幸せ見つける力
私たちは持っている
