Lyrics & Translation

[English] Somehow I feel like I can see what's ahead.
It seems like there's no clear future for myself.
I try looking at the world from a different angle.
I was just sitting here, bored, resting my chin on my hand.
Sometimes I get complimented, but I can't just smile honestly—that's who I am.
I feel like I might just run out of strength.
It's shocking—this morning's news.
I curled up in bed.
I just want to keep sleeping like this.
Where is my worth? I've been searching for it.
Clenching it so tightly, I feel suffocated in this small room.
Am I still able to truly be myself without making mistakes?
I probably know there’s no such thing as a perfect answer, but still...
Outside is already so cold, the wind is blowing.
I'm only getting anxious, trying my best.
But I took a little courage and made a step.
Today is just a day to live for tomorrow.
It's just me, always holding things in, unable to ask for help.
It's a parade of my own mistakes.
A moment filled with kindness, like a melting crystal of ice.
I check my palms pressed together, feeling it.
I don't need to be the best; I want to give that to you.
Even if I don't stand above someone, I believe I can still shine.
You don’t have to try so hard; you carried a heavy load for me.
If I trust in you, I wonder if I can walk a little further.
Always, always, always.
Surely, surely, surely.
