Lyrics & Translation
Loneliness has started to spill out.
Even if I scream, no one hears me.
It doesn’t reach anyone else.
Everyone’s watching, but no one’s really looking.
They see nothing, growing colder.
They look at my trembling back and shrug it off with a苦笑い.
Like the wind,
You think I’m heartless.
You think I’ll be fine.
In the darkness, I stumble—I’m only human.
I’m soaked by sharp raindrops.
You think I’m unbreakable.
So how can I cry?
In this painful night, I’m only human.
I’m scared too, I’m only human.
When I lay my thorny pillow, deep loneliness presses on my breath.
I prayed that someday I could close my eyes and not wake up.
Everyone’s watching, but nobody’s paying attention.
They see nothing, just hold me tight.
You think I’m heartless.
You think I’ll be fine.
I stumble in the dark—I’m only human.
I’m soaked by sharp rain.
You think I’m unbreakable.
So how can I cry?
In this hurting night, I’m only human.
I’m afraid too, I’m only human.
I stumble—that I’m only human.
I’m scared too—that I’m only human.
You think I’m heartless.
You think I’ll be fine.
I stumble in the darkness—I’m only human.
I’m soaked by sharp rain.
You think I’m unbreakable.
So how can I cry?
In this painful night, I’m only human.
I’m scared too, I’m only human.
You think I’m unbreakable.
So how can I cry?
In this hurting night, I’m only human.
I’m afraid too, I’m only human.
