Lyrics
The self that pretends to be fine
At that point, you’re not fine at all.
Even if someone reaches out their hand,
No matter how much they push you forward,
Whether you take that step,
Whether you grab that hand,
Only you yourself decide.
"They just worried about me."
"They just helped me."
They don't ask for anything in return.
You don't have to worry, I'll be right here.
You don't have to say anything, I'll be right here.
You don't have to say anything.
It's okay, I won't ask anything,
I'll just be right here.
I will absolutely not let you be alone.
I will absolutely not let you be alone
The past that has gone by,
you can't change it.
What matters
is only the road ahead.
That was your past, but now, it’s different.
Try to exchange more words.
What the other person is feeling,
What they are thinking—
If you can understand each other,
Something will change.
The people around you from your perspective,
You from their perspective.
"Try to stand up."
"It's going to be okay."
Because you realized it now,
Because you realized it before you lost it,
Because we met like this,
You still have time,
You still have time.
That feeling, that hand,
is meant to protect something precious
and to grasp happiness.
Don't try to sacrifice yourself.
I'm ready to fall with you.
But listen,
If we both fall, we're both lost.
You will lose the place you can return to.
So, if something happens, lean on me.
So, if something happens, lean on me.
Giving up on yourself,
cutting yourself off—
You don't need to do that anymore.
Let's protect what remains.
Between words and feelings,
Something is communicated between hearts.
Surely, you are not alone.
What can be done is now and the future.
Tears won't stop.
It's okay, that's for everything until now.
People change, they can change.
Even if you don't want to change, you can't remain the same.
And yet,
When you decide you want to change,
it's not easy to do so.
Let's choose the path that makes you happy, without hesitation.
You deserve to be happy. (It's okay to be happy.)
Because it's too late after you regret it,
Have the courage to draw your own line.
You deserve to be happy. (It's okay to be happy)
Because it's too late after you regret it,
Have the courage to draw your own line.
