[Verse 1 — Aoi] We used to stay when the lights went low Counting the stars through the studio window You held my hand when I wanted to run You said our dream had only begun We learned the steps on a worn-out floor Sang every line till our voices were sore You made me promise, whatever came We’d stand together when they called our names [Pre-Chorus — Aoi] Then one by one The numbers fell I heard the room But heard nothing else They took my hand You let yours go I saw you smile And I should have known [Chorus — Aoi with delayed whispered echoes] They called my name [Rei & Kirari, whispered] They called your name The whole room shone [Rei & Kirari, whispered] The whole room shone I reached the dream [Rei & Kirari, whispered] You reached the dream But I won alone [Rei & Kirari, whispered] You won all alone I held the light [Rei & Kirari, whispered] You held the light I faced the crowd [Rei & Kirari, whispered] You faced the crowd They said I won [Rei & Kirari, whispered] They said you won But I won alone [Rei & Kirari, whispered] You won all alone [Verse 2 — Aoi] Your empty place stayed beside me backstage Still in my heart, though they cleared off your name You said, “Don’t cry, this is what you deserve” But every kind word only made it hurt The cameras flashed and the music began I wore the smile we had always planned Thousands of voices were singing along But yours was the one that I wanted among them [Pre-Chorus — Aoi] I took the bow I played the part They gave me flowers You gave me heart I touched the sky Like we said we would It should have felt right It should have felt good [Chorus — Aoi with delayed whispered echoes] They called my name [Rei & Kirari, whispered] They called your name The whole room shone [Rei & Kirari, whispered] The whole room shone I reached the dream [Rei & Kirari, whispered] You reached the dream But I won alone [Rei & Kirari, whispered] You won all alone I held the light [Rei & Kirari, whispered] You held the light I faced the crowd [Rei & Kirari, whispered] You faced the crowd They said I won [Rei & Kirari, whispered] They said you won But I won alone [Rei & Kirari, whispered] You won all alone [Bridge — Aoi, piano only] I wanted this I always did I wanted the stage I wanted to live But not like this Not on my own I wanted the dream I wanted us both If I could go back I’d still take your hand We’d miss every step And still make our plans I got what I wanted I finally know A dream can come true And still leave you alone [Rei, whispered] Still leave you alone [Final Chorus — Aoi, with Rei and Kirari growing from whispers into soft vocals] They called my name [Rei & Kirari, whispered] They called your name The whole room shone [Rei & Kirari, whispered] The whole room shone I reached the dream [Rei & Kirari, whispered] You reached the dream But I won alone [Rei & Kirari, whispered] You won all alone I held the light [Rei & Kirari, softly sung] You held the light I faced the crowd [Rei & Kirari, softly sung] You faced the crowd They said I won [Rei & Kirari, softly sung] They said you won But I won alone [Rei & Kirari, softly sung] You won all alone [Outro — Aoi] They called my name And the whole room shone I reached our dream But I won alone [Rei & Kirari, barely whispered] You won all alone
