MAYOIUTA

Kōsaten no mannaka isogu hito ni magirete
Boku dake ga atemonaku tadayō mitai da

Hayari no uta wa itsumo boku no koto wa utattenai
Nē bijon no naka kara waraikakenaide

Mata kyō mo koe ni narazu ni nomikonda kanjō
Shitagaki umetsukushite
Ah sō yatte nansenkai yoru wo koeru

Boku no tame soredake soredake dattanda yo
Deguchi sagashi koboreta dake no kotoba
Kimi no kokoro e todoite sukima wo chotto umeru nara
Konna boku demo koko ni iru sakebu yo
Mayoi hoshi no uta

Towareru koto wa nazeka shōrai no koto bakari
Me no mae ni iru boku no ima wa ozanari de

Hanayagi ni najimenai kono kokoro wo mushishite
Kagayakashī ashita wo suishō shinaide kure

Yozora ni chikachika hikaru tayorinai hoshikuzu
Tamerainagara hagurete
Ah samayotteiru sore ga boku

Boku ni naru sore shika sore shika dekinai darou
Dare no mane mo umaku yarenainda
Konna itai hibi wo nande taikutsu datte katazukeru?
Yoromekinagara demo mogaiteirunda yo
Mayoi hoshi no uta

Boku no tame soredake soredake dattanda yo
Namida nagashi yatto umareta kotoba
Dokoka de onaji yōni hirihirisuru mune kakaete
Furueru kimi ni boku mo iru sakebu yo
Mayoi hoshi no uta

I stand alone, lost in the busy crowd
At the center of a crossroads, drifting aimlessly

No one ever writes songs about people like me
Please, don't mock me from your point of view

Another day of biting my tongue, holding back my emotions
Completing a draft yet unfinished
Ah, that's how I spend the countless nights, time and time again

It's for my own sake, and that's all, and that's all there ever was
Searching for a way out, my words poured out and well over
I hope they reach you, and mend the scars left on your soul
Even as I am, I am alive, and I scream out
The cry of a wandering star

People only ever care about what your future holds
The present-day me who stands before them may as well be nothing

Cast aside, ignored because I can't force myself to shine bright
So just stop telling me how promising my tomorrow could be

Dim hints of stardust flicker, forsaken in the night sky
Faltering, hesitating, losing sight of their path
Ah, the one lost and wandering... is me

I'll try to be me, and that's all, and that's all I can do now
I can't try to be like someone else, that'll never work out at all
Why should I consign these painful days to just being dreary?
Even though I stumble, I'll struggle on, the best I can
The cry of a wandering star

It's for my own sake, and that's all, and that's all there ever was
My tears fall, but they gave rise to lyrics in the end
I know you're the same way, you feel the same pain cutting through your chest
Though you tremble, I am with you, and I sing out
The song of the wandering stars^[1]
