Why do you shed tears when you were just born?
Whom do you hate?
How can we explain that why you are here?
Once sweethearts, now forever apart
Evidence is everywhere that fairy tales don’t exist
Whoever caused you at such a young age already understands the heartbreak

It’s not your fault
It’s not your fault
It’s not your fault
Don’t say that your birth caused corruption
It’s the world itself that’s already corrupt
which causes you to settle this “debt” as soon as you come into this world.
And you witnessed the world’s extreme cruelty
then lead you thought that you were the one who toppled the domino

It’s not your fault
It’s not your fault
It’s not your fault
Wish your innocent heart never rot
Don’t let the darkness engulf your surroundings
Drag you down, and then
affects your elegance on straightening out this chaotic world

It’s not your fault
It’s not your fault
It’s not your fault
Don’t say that the world was corrupt from the moment you were born
It’s you who brought lights to it
Please let go of your misunderstandings
It’s you who showed me the new world
