tatoba, tatoba!
tatoba, tatoba!
tatoba, tatoba!
tatoba, tatoba!
"if i just hadn't done that then,
if i'd just done that instead..."
those "what ifs" are just hypotheticals
they won't change the reality
if i just give up, saying "i'm weak,"
and let my regrets
pile irreversibly,
i won't be able to move
pretending not to see, walking the other way, stepping by — that's too bad
as a person, and as myself, i don't want to do that
that's the one promise that i can't break
if there's a light that seems
like it'll disappear before my eyes
i want to protect it
with my own hands
i can go nowhere
i have no place to escape to
i must face it and fight it
regret nothing
tatoba, tatoba!
tatoba, tatoba!
tatoba, tatoba!
tatoba, tatoba!
if i become a great person, a strong person —
even if i grow up at all —
there's no way i can win
against the regrets i left behind in the past
if i have the courage to step forward,
i'll get by ignoring it
but the scars on my heart
can't turn back time
you can't blame it on anyone else — you can't delete that memory
it's all just part of the fate inside me
so even if i'm afraid, i'll just laugh
it's not so that i can
say i'm doing it for someone's sake
i'm just trying to give you
a sign that i'm trying my best
i can go nowhere
i believe that i must leave it behind
and stop fooling myself
regret nothing
is all this preparation everyone does
for the endless tomorrows ahead really necessary?
even if you count up all the things in front of you
it won't help you — so instead of that,
find the strength so that you won't feel remorse
in other words,
regret nothing
if there's a light that seems
like it'll disappear before my eyes
i want to protect it
with my own hands
i can go nowhere
i have no place to escape to
i must face it and fight it
regret nothing
