For You

Lyrics: Hikaru Utada
Composition: Hikaru Utada & TAKURO
Arrangement: Kei Kawano

I put on my headphones and hide in the crowd
I feel I might've already disappeared
The music even muffles my own footsteps
I wanna keep dancing until I forget our fight and you too

When I return to my messy room
your presence confirms my loneliness

If only I could be kind
only for myself, not for anyone else
I can't feel lonely alone
That's why for you I hope I can be stronger
I hope it reaches you someday. I wanna give you the same loneliness
That's why I sing this song for you

Even on mornings I don't wanna wake up, I'll wake up for your face
On nights I can't sleep, I'll hum the song you gave me

Don't misunderstand: I'm not trying
to rely on you or anything or anyone

If there's a song I can sing only for myself
not for anyone else, then I don't wanna learn it
That's why for you I should be used to it...
I can be honest, but I feel like I'm gonna burst when you misunderstand me
That's why I sing this song for you

I want to make you cry
Let me hurt you. I'll fix it
When I wanna fly, you always give me a brighter sky
You want to make me cry
Joy taught by grief
When I wanna shine, you always give me a darker sky

If only I could be kind
only for myself, not for anyone else
I can't feel lonely alone
That's why for you I hope I can be stronger
I hope it reaches you someday. I wanna give you the same loneliness
That's why I sing this song for you

If there's a song I can sing only for myself
not for anyone else, then I don't wanna learn it
That's why for you I should be used to it...
I can be honest, but I feel like I'm gonna burst when you misunderstand me
That's why I sing this song for you
for you

For You

Heddofon wo shite hitogomi no naka ni kakureru to
Mou jibun wa kiete shimatta'n ja nai ka to omou no
Jibun no ashioto sae keshite kureru you na ongaku
Kenka no koto mo kimi wo mo wasureru made odotte itai

Chirakatta heya ni kaeru to
Kimi no sonzai de jibun no kodoku kakunin suru

Dareka no tame ja naku jibun no tame ni dake
Yasashiku naretara ii noni
Hitori ja kodoku wo kanjirarenai
Dakara For you tsuyoku nareru you ni
Itsuka todoku you ni kimi nimo onaji kodoku wo agetai
Dakara I sing this song for you

Okitakunai asa mo kimi no kao no tame ni okiru yo
Nemurenai yoru wa kimi ga kureta uta wo kuchizusamu'n da

Kanchigai shinai de yo daremo nanimo kimi ni tayorou to
Omotteru wake ja nai kara

Dareka no tame ja naku jibun no tame ni dake
Utaeru uta ga aru nara watashi wa sonna no oboetakunai
Dakara For you nareteru hazu nanoni
Sunao ni nareru noni gokai sareru to harisakesou sa
Dakara I sing this song for you

I want to make you cry
Kizutsukesasete yo naoshite miseru yo
Tobitai toki wa You always give me a brighter sky
You want to make me cry
Kanashimi de oshiete kureta yorokobi
Kagayakitai toki wa You always give me a darker sky

Dareka no tame ja naku jibun no tame ni dake
Yasashiku naretara ii noni
Hitori ja kodoku wo kanjirarenai
Dakara For you tsuyoku nareru you ni
Itsuka todoku you ni kimi nimo onaji kodoku wo agetai
Dakara I sing this song for you

Dareka no tame ja naku jibun no tame ni dake
Utaeru uta ga aru nara watashi wa sonna no oboetakunai
