Lyrics & Translation

[English] Everyone needs you
I cherish you more than anything
Always, I need you
Everyday miracles are shown by ordinary characters everywhere
Rehearsals and acting cycles, trying to become someone
You regret again, giving those 'no good' signals
Uneffective improvisation, tears that don’t flow
In the blink of an eye, stubbornness and spilled weakness
It’s telling you that you exist inside yourself
That's perfectly fine
Everyone needs you
I cherish you more than anything
Always, I need you
Because every ordinary character everywhere has meaning
You feel you can't be yourself anymore
"Where am I, who am I right now?"
Come back anytime on days like that
Burning sideways glances, clenched fists, a captivating adapter
Show me more, close the script
Show me that you’re just being yourself—Que sera, sera
Everyone needs you
You struggle, and that sparkle shines through
Always, I need you
Don't forget, unseen in your eyes is life itself
No need to compare; you're meant to play your unique role
It may seem like nothing changes without one person
Is this okay? Why is it okay? That sort of thing...
It's not wrong, it's not right, but it's lovable
A light will shine for you
Everyone needs you
I've come to like you
Always, I need you
Everything that brought me to this stage
Has meaning simply because it was created
