素晴らしき16才 [Subarashiki 16 sai] [English translation]

I want to leave but I can't

This city where I was born and raised

As the morning comes and the night goes

My surroundings are still the same

I draw a map on a piece of paper

I'm going to travel alone

The illusion disappeared since that day

We all grow up when we fall in love

I want to grab it but I can't

The happiness that passed me by

The flower bloom and fall

I'm still not strong enough

I hang my clothes on the window

Avoiding stares from people

I've learned about loneliness since that day

We all grow up when we fall in love

Tears fall on my chest

I wait for it to dries up

I've learned about goodbye since that day

We all grow up when we fall in love
