Mainichi onaji you na koto no kurikaeshi de
Rifujin na koto ba, iya na koto ni mune ga itamu yo
Hito ni nagasarete
Jibun miushiraitakunai kara
Kesshite togarazu yasashii hito de arou

Yamanai ame wa nai to wakatteru kedo
Itsu made konna tsurai kimochi ga tsudzuku no darou
Ima made aruite kita michi hitei shitakunai nda
Jibun wo shinjite agerareru no wa jibun dake

Kachikan wa minna sorezore chigau kedo
Boku wa boku nari no michi wo arukitai

Itai yo kokoro wa kizutsuite iru no ni
Hyoumen no boku wa heizen to heikin na kao
Aa baka da na yowai na tsuyoku naritai na
Kyou wa mou sukoshi naite nemuritai

Dareka wo tasukeru furi shite hontou wa
Mienai yowasa kara jibun wo mamotteta
Demo sore wa yasashisa ni wa
Kawarii nai kara tte
Nigetebakari no otona ni narisou da

Dare mo shinjirarenakunatta toshitemo
Doushiyou mo nai mijimena kimochi ni nattemo
Muri shite mae dake wo mukanakute mo ii nda
Sukoshi yasunde mata aruki hajimereba ii sa

Hontou ni taisetsu na koto wasurekakete ta yo
Ima made sasaerarete koko ni iru koto

Kimi ni mo mamoritai mono ga aru you ni
Boku mo mata dareka ni mamorarete ikite iru
Kodoku nante kanchigai da yo hora kao agete
Daijoubu da yo konna ni aisareteru

Orignal / Kanji / 歌詞

毎日同じようなことの繰り返しで
理不尽なことば嫌なことに胸が痛むよ
人に流されて
自分見失いたくないから
決して尖らず優しい人であろう

止まない雨はないと分かってるけど
いつまでこんなつらい気持ちが続くのだろう
今まで歩いてきた道否定したくないんだ
自分を信じてあげられるのは自分だけ

価値観はみんなそれぞれ違うけど
僕は僕なりの道を歩きたい

痛いよ心は傷ついているのに
表面の僕は平然と平気な顔
あぁ馬鹿だな弱いな強くなりたいな
今日はもう少し泣いて眠りたい

誰かを助けるふりして本当は
見えない弱さから自分を守っていた
でもそれは優しさには
代わりないからって
逃げてばかりの大人になりそうだ

誰も信じられなくなったとしても
どうしようもない惨めな気持ちになっても
無理して前だけを向かなくてもいいんだ
少し休んでまた歩き始めればいいさ

本当に大切なこと忘れかけてたよ
今まで支えられてここにいること

君にも守りたいものがあるように
僕もまた誰かに守られて生きている
孤独なんて勘違いだよほら顔上げて
大丈夫だよこんなに愛されてる

There are two translations.

English Translation

Every day feels like the same thing repeating again
My heart aches from all the unfairness and painful things
Being swept along by others
Because I do not want to lose sight of myself
I will remain kind without ever growing sharp-edged

I know no rain lasts forever
But how much longer will these painful feelings go on
I do not want to deny the road I have walked until now
The only one who can truly believe in me is myself

Everyone carries different values in their heart
But I want to walk a path that feels true to me

It hurts, even though my heart is wounded
On the surface I wear a calm and unaffected face
Ah, I am foolish, weak, I want to become stronger
Tonight I want to cry a little more before I sleep

Pretending to help someone else when in truth
I was protecting myself from unseen weakness
But even so
That kindness was still real
At this rate I will become an adult who only runs away

Even if I reach the point where I cannot trust anyone
Even if I fall into unbearable misery
You do not have to force yourself to face only forward
It is enough to rest a little and start walking again

I was beginning to forget what truly matters
That I am standing here because I have been supported all along

Just like you have something you want to protect
I too am living while being protected by someone
Loneliness is only an illusion, so lift your face and see
It is alright, you are loved this deeply

Official English Translation

Every day feels like the same thing on repeat
Careless words from others, and
Forcing myself to do things I don't want to makes my heart hurt
I don't want to lose myself by just going along with others
So I try to remain kind, never sharp

Though I know the rain doesn't last forever
How much longer will these painful feelings go on?
I don't want to deny the path I've walked so far
Because the only one who can truly believe in me is myself

Everyone has different values and perspectives
But I want to walk my own path, my own way

It hurts, even though my heart is wounded
Yet on the surface, I keep a calm and composed face
Ah, how foolish, how weak I am
I want to be stronger
Tonight, I just want to cry a little and fall asleep

Pretending to help others, in truth
I was protecting myself from invisible weaknesses
But telling myself that it's still a form of kindness
I feel like I might become an adult who only runs away

Even if I find it hard to trust anyone
Even if I feel utterly miserable and helpless
It's okay not to force myself always to look forward
I can take a break and start walking again when I'm ready

I was starting to forget what truly matters
That I've made it here with the support of others

Just like you have something you want to protect
I, too, am living, protected by someone
Loneliness is just a misunderstanding, lookup
It's okay, see how much love surrounds you
