Lyrics (Japanese)

Translation

静かな夜の中でIn the quiet of the night

ひとり君を思い出すAlone, I think back on you

部屋の隅でうずくまるCurled up in the corner of my room

声も出せずに凍えてたFrozen still, unable to make a sound

気づかれないようにずっとSo no one would ever notice

強がって笑ってたI kept smiling, acting strong

本当の気持ちはBut what I truly feel inside

誰にも言えないままI could never say to anyone

時計の音だけが響く部屋でIn a room where only the clock keeps echoing

止まった時間が心を締めつけるTime stands still and tightens around my heart

大丈夫って繰り返してもNo matter how many times I say I'm okay

心はついてこないよMy heart just won't catch up to the words

夜の闇に紛れた涙がA tear lost in the dark of night

ひとつまたこぼれてくSpills over, one and then another

本当は気づいてほしかったThe truth is, I wanted you to notice

強くなんてなれないよI can't be strong, not really

こんな弱さも全部Even all of this weakness in me

誰かに知ってほしいのにAnd yet I wish someone would come to know

平気なふりをしてたI pretended I was fine

君の前でもずっとEven in front of you, all this time

傷つくのが怖くてSo afraid of getting hurt

本音を隠してたI hid away the truth in me

少しずつひび割れてくLittle by little it starts to crack

心の奥のほうDeep down in the heart of me

見えない傷がA wound no one can see

静かに広がってくQuietly keeps spreading wide

閉ざした気持ちがほどけないままMy sealed-off feelings still won't come undone

また夜に飲まれていくAnd so I'm swallowed by the night again

大丈夫って繰り返すほどThe more I keep on saying I'm okay

孤独が深くなるよThe deeper the loneliness grows

強くなれと言われるたびにEach time they tell me just be strong

何も言えなくなるI lose every word I have

本当はそばにいてほしいThe truth is, I want you here beside me

ただそれだけなのにThough that's all I'm asking for

言葉にできないままI still can't turn it into words

夜がまた更けていくAnd the night grows late once more

誰にも見せない涙がA tear I show to no one

心を締めつけるTightens around my heart

このまま消えてしまえたらとIf only I could vanish just like this

思う夜もあるけどThere are nights I even wish for that

それでも朝は来るからAnd yet the morning always comes

また息をしてしまうSo I find myself still breathing

弱いままでもいいとThat it's alright to stay this weak

いつか言えるかなWill I someday learn to say

大丈夫って言わなくてもいいI don't have to say that I'm okay

心は嘘をつかないThe heart never tells a lie

夜の中で揺れてるこの気持ちThis feeling swaying through the night

そのままでいいんだよIt's alright to leave it just as it is

本当はひとりじゃないとThe truth is, I want to try and believe

信じてみたいからThat I'm not alone, and so

壊れそうなこの夜をThis night that feels like it could break

少しずつ越えていくLittle by little, I'll make it through
