Lyrics
It is a message that fits nicely into Emiko-Chan's story as she learns to accept herself and her introversion.
================================
[Verse 1]
誰も見てないところで
涙こらえてたこと
笑って誤魔化すその肩が
少し震えてたこと
[Verse 2]
優(やさ)しい人だと言われてきたこと
弱音が吐けなかったこと
ずっと心に抱え込んできたこと
[Pre-Chorus]
なにも言わなくていいから
無理に声にしなくていい
[Chorus]
君がずっと堪えてきたこと
こぼれ落ちる涙と一緒に
言葉にできないその想いを
流し終わるまで泣いてほしい
涙は拭くから そのまま眠ってほしい
バラバラの心を
無理に集めなくていい
泣きじゃくった顔のままで
今日は眠ればいい
[Instrumental Solo]
[Bridge]
生きてきたすべてがちゃんと
君の顔に宿ってるから
痛みを知った分だけ
周りを幸せにしてるから
あたしにはわかってるんだよ
[Chorus]
悔しいことも 情けないことも
逃げ出したい日も 眠れない夜も
消えない傷跡も
どれだけ痛かったのかも
君が何を飲み込んだのかも
何も言わなくていい
今日もこうして君に救われているんだから
君は君のままでいい
================================
English translation
[Verse 1]
In a place where no one is watching
The way you were holding back your tears
The way your shoulders, laughing it off to hide it,
Were trembling just a little
[Verse 2]
The way you've been told you're a kind person
The way you couldn't voice your complaints
The way you've been carrying it all in your heart
[Pre-Chorus]
You don't have to say a word
You don't have to force yourself to speak
[Chorus]
Everything you've been enduring for so long
Together with the tears that overflow
Those feelings you can't put into words
I want you to cry until they've all washed away
I'll wipe your tears, so just fall asleep like that
You don't have to force yourself
To pick up the pieces of your broken heart
Just as you are, with your face stained from crying
You should just sleep today
[Bridge]
Everything you've lived through
Is clearly reflected in your face
Because as much as you've known pain
You've made those around you happy
I understand that
[Chorus]
The frustrating things, the pathetic things
The days you want to run away, the sleepless nights
The scars that won't fade
How much it hurt
What it was that you swallowed down
You don't have to say anything
Because even today, I am saved by you like this
You are fine just as you are
