I belong on a B5-sized paper
The words that spill out from my pen fall from my hands
I didn't expect them to reach anyone
In this tiny world, my gaze is downcast
This feeling is mine and mine alone
You are you, not me
Yet how did you know this feeling?
You must've been hurt somewhere, too
I'm not the only one who's lost
I might look strong, but that's not true at all
Even when I feel fragile, even during the times I want to run away
I'll keep standing here desperately
The crooked letters, written down by my tremblings hands, took flight
Within this ever-moving sound,
I can raise my face and sing
I wonder if my lost voice will reach you (will it reach?)
I want to show you everything in my heart (I want to show you)
My voice squeezed out
Reaching out for the warmth, I realized you were there
Even though I kept crying all alone during those nights (even during those nights)
My current self will definitely be able to move forward (moving forward)
I could think like this because you were here for me
"Thank you"
I've disliked the sound of rain
Ever since the day I got crushed
But for some reason, now I want to cherish it
Even if I'm going to break down again
(My past self was so afraid)
But once again, I want to keep believing
(Even if I have to learn it the hard way)
As long as I'm with you, I think I can believe in myself
I'm still not good at smiling
And I'm not good at making eye contact either
I'm not confident at all, but even then...
(Within this moment)
The sound of that applause crossed over my memories,
Completely replacing the sound of that rain
And it resonated throughout my body
Even though I'm still so clumsy (I'm still clumsy)
And I'm still not used to things like
Someone kindly and patiently waiting for me (kindly and patiently)
It's frustrating that I can't keep up with those words, but
I wish I could find a place (find a place)
For my voice to be within your heart (within your heart)
You, who so kindly listened to me
I want to go with you
I wonder if my lost voice will reach you (will it reach?)
I'll never forget the day I took a step forward (I won't forget)
All these foreign emotions
Rushed through my mind
Although I'm unreliable and still can't lift my gaze (this kind of me, too)
It wasn't wrong for my smoldering self to feel like this (it wasn't wrong)
I could think like this because you were here for me
"Thank you"
