Lyrics
※日本語原詞は下部にあります。
//--------------------------------------------
“This is not goodbye,” you softly say
Why are you smiling that way?
“This is not the end,” you gently claim
You say the heart still lives on, stays
With words worn thin by comfort’s lie
Don’t name the time that you and I
Shared every breath, every flame
Don’t give our hours a borrowed name
Until that final light you cast arrives
I’ll stay right here, I’ll stay alive
Through countless nights, unbroken still
You give a warmth that feels like will
No lines, no sides, you let it flow
A gentle heat the whole world knows
So bright it burns, so cold it feels
A mercy sharp enough to kill
Within the shadow that you made
I’ll be the last light that remains...
“Be strong alone,” you act as though
I was never special, so
With scripted lines, a hollow pose
You call it truth — my heart says no
All the laughter, stacked in time
All the days that you were mine
You can’t name them, you can’t define
What we were was beyond a sign
When I was lost and out of air
You dropped my weight without repair
A joke you threw to ease the pain
How many times did I clap again?
I laughed, didn’t I…
Through countless nights, unbroken still
You gave me love, you gave me will
When you said “It’s fine,” I walked ahead
Smiling through the words you said
But losing you, and standing here
Unable to let you see this fear
That is the deepest pain I feel
Hey… someday
Will I smile and say
“These words sound just like you” again?
Until that day comes into view
Can I keep going — tell me, can I too?
Through countless nights, unbroken still
You gave me courage, gave me will
When you said “That’s enough,” I chose my way
Never doubting, never swayed
So may the ember that you gave
Be shared with someone else someday
Stay close… just stay and watch me live
Forever… please, just watch me live
Until the day your quiet sorrow fades
I’ll keep the light — until the final day
For ever,4o ever your heart...

“別れじゃない“と あなたはいう
どうして 笑顔なの？
“終わりじゃない”と あなたはいう
心は 生き続けると
使い古された そんな慰めで
わたしとあなたの時間に
名前をつけないで
膝をついたわたしに
あなたが差し伸べた手
その感触は 無いけれど
ぬくもりは 覚えてる
あなたの言葉がわたしに
どれほどの勇気を与えたろう
あなたが”ダメだ”といえば
わたしは素直に謝れた
あなたを失う悲しみを
あなたと分かち合えないこと
それが、一番、悲しい…
わたしを独り立ちさせようと
あなたは“特別じゃない”フリをする
そんな作られたごまかしで
心は 動かないよ
積み重ねた 笑い合った
わたしとあなたの時間に
名前なんてつけられない
途方に暮れたわたしの
肩の荷を下ろすように
あなたが言った 冗談に
何度 手を叩いたろう
笑っただろう
あなたの言葉がわたしに
どれほどの愛を与えたろう
あなたが”大丈夫”といえば
わたしは笑顔で歩けたの
あなたが心にそっと灯した
ぬくもりを見せられないこと
それが、一番、悲しい…
ねえ、いつの日か
笑って思い出せるのかな
“ああ、この言葉、まるであなただ”と
そんな日が来るまで
わたしは、がんばれる？
あなたの言葉がわたしに
どれほどの勇気を与えたろう
あなたが”それでいい”といえば
わたしは迷わず進めるの
あなたがくれたともしびを
他の誰かにも分け合えるよう
そっと、そばで、見守って…
ずっと、ずっと、見守って…
