Japanese Lyrics
 Life's a very Sweet & Bitter Beauty Song ねえ きみなら何を歌う?

Go Ahead or Back…Right or Left 瞬間瞬間 選択の連続 涼しい顔してたって 意外に いや、かなりマジだし Life's a very Sweet & Bitter Beauty Song

犬みたいにしっぽ 振って機嫌取りしたり 図々しく生きれない どんなに損だと言われても

敏感が厄介Teenager 鼓動がすぐドキドキ 暴れて困るけど

同じステージの上にいるじゃん ってそれだけでなんか勇気沸くね 低音だって 高音だって 得意な声でみんな言いたいことSinging so Loud

Choose Friend or Love…Light or Deep 純情愛情 混沌で悶絶 楽しい顔してたって その裏で傷ついてたり Life's a very Sweet & Bitter Beauty Song

猫みたいに爪を 立てて自分守るように 器用に歩けない 何度転んで恥かいても

繊細が専売Teenager 鼓動が不意にフルフル 震えて騒ぐけど

同じナンバーで泣いたらいいじゃん 十人十色は承知の上で 低温だって 高温だって 火傷したらみんな痛いんだしShouting so Loud

同じステージの上にいるじゃん ってそれだけでなんか勇気沸くね 低音だって 高音だって 得意な声でみんな言いたいことSinging so Loud 同じナンバーで笑えばいいじゃん 十人十色は承知の上で 低俗だって 高潔だって 本当の気持ちだけ抱きしめてShouting so Loud

Life's a very Sweet & Bitter Beauty Song Life's a very Sweet & Bitter Beauty Song Life's a very Sweet & Bitter Beauty Song ねえ きみなら何を歌う?

Life's a very Sweet & Bitter Beauty Song So, what are you gonna sing?

"Go Ahead" or "Back"... "Right" or "Left" There's a choice to be made every moment you get Despite your calm face, strangely you... nah, actually you look quite serious Life's a very Sweet & Bitter Beauty Song

You go tail-waggin' like a dog trying to please everyone ('Cause) you can't live like a rebel even when you're told you'll lose out

You're an sensitivity-conscious teenager but your heart troubles you By beating fast and thrashing about so easily

Aren't we all standing on the same stage? ...and hey just saying that kinda lifts our courage, eh? With a low range or a high one Everyone's saying what they wanna say using their best voices  singing so loud

Choose "Friend" or "Love"... (Going) "Light" or "Deep" All these feelings and emotions, you'd pass out to the panic they can do Behind your happy face you're hurting inside Life's a very Sweet & Bitter Beauty Song

You go clawin' like a cat trying to protect yourself (So) you still can't walk straight and fall over so many times it's embarrassing

You're a meticulously delicate teenager but without notice your eardrums Vibrate and shake furiously

Can't we all cry to the same song? Though we know it's different people, different taste Low or high, take any temperature you want but Everyone hurts when they get burnt shouting so loud

Aren't we all standing on the same stage? ...and hey just saying that kinda lifts our courage, eh? With a low range or a high one Everyone's saying what they wanna say using their best voices  singing so loud Can't we all smile to the same song? Though we know it's different people, different taste Brash or gentle, rude or dignified Everyone's holding onto only their true feelings shouting so loud

Life's a very Sweet & Bitter Beauty Song Life's a very Sweet & Bitter Beauty Song Life's a very Sweet & Bitter Beauty Song So, what are you gonna sing? }}
