休んでも消えない光

今日も笑って　何もないふり 胸の奥だけ　雨が降ってる 返せない言葉　抱えたままで 誰にも見せずに　朝を越えた 頑張った数だけ　強くなれると 信じてきたけど　眠れない夜もある 休んでも　消えない光がある 立ち止まる君を　責めなくていい 涙まで　隠さなくていいから 今日は少しだけ　心をほどいて 比べる声に　追いつかれそうで 自分の歩幅を　忘れかけてた 空っぽになった　心の中にも まだ温かい希望が残る 声にならない日も 前を向けない日も 君が君でいるだけで 世界は少し　あたたかい 休んでも　消えない光がある 頑張りすぎた日々は　無駄じゃない 急がなくていい　置いていかれない ゆっくり息をして　また歩き出せばいい 君のままでいい 夜明けの端で　小さく笑えた

Smiling again today, pretending nothing's wrong Only deep inside your chest, a quiet rain keeps falling Still holding words you could never answer You crossed into morning, letting no one see You believed that the harder you tried, the stronger you'd grow But still there are nights when sleep just won't come Even when you rest, there's a light that won't fade No need to blame yourself for standing still You don't even have to hide your tears Just for today, let your heart unwind a little The voices that compare were closing in on you And you were forgetting the pace of your own stride Even inside a heart that's been emptied out A warm and gentle hope is still alive On the days the words won't come On the days you can't look ahead Just by being who you are The world grows a little warmer Even when you rest, there's a light that won't fade All those days you pushed too hard were never in vain You don't have to rush, you won't be left behind Just breathe it slow, and you can start to walk again Stay just the way you are At the edge of dawn, you found a small soft smile
