Lyrics
空気ばかり感じてしまう 敏感すぎるわたし
やさしくできる日もあれば 息が詰まる日もある
笑顔の裏で数えてる 誰かの小さなため息
「気づけた」ことが いつの間にか 重くなる
察して 埋めて 整えて
また自分を 後回しにして
ほんとは少しだけ 息をつきたくて
何も考えず ただ 揺れていたい
察しないで 言葉にして
わたしの心は 予測じゃ救えない
大丈夫って 言えない夜も
ちゃんと抱きしめて いいんだよね
何も考えない時間
そんなひとときが
あってもいいって 信じたい
目を合わせるだけでわかる そんな瞬間があるから
守れたものも確かにある だから嫌いになれない
だけど誰かの期待に 自分を合わせすぎた日は
帰り道 胸の奥で 静かに泣いてる
気づけることは 強さで
同時に 傷にもなる
人を責めるのは簡単で でもわたしはそうしたくなくて
ねぇ わたしのことも わたしが わかってあげたい
察しないで 言葉にして
わたしの心は 答えを急がない
平気なふり うまくなっても
ほんとは 休みたかっただけ
何も考えない時間
そんなひとときが
あってもいいって ここで言うよ
誰かのために 光れた日も
自分のために 暗くなる日も
どっちも わたしのままで
間違いじゃない
察しないで 言葉にして
わたしの心は わたしが守りたい
「優しさ」が 痛みに変わるなら
少しずつ ほどいていくよ
何も考えない時間
そんなひとときが
あってもいいんだって 今 歌うよ
********************
I feel the air before the words, I’m sensitive like that
Some days it lets me love so gently, some days I lose my breath
Behind my smile I count the signs, a quiet little sigh
And “being the one who notices” turns heavy over time
I fill the gaps and read between, I keep it all in place
And push myself behind again with an “I’m fine” kind of face
But honestly I just want
To stop my thoughts and sway a little, feel some space
Don’t make me guess, just say it out loud
My heart can’t be saved by reading ahead
There are nights I can’t say “I’m okay”
So let me hold myself instead
A time to think of nothing
A small and gentle break
I want to believe that I’m allowed to take
I know it just by meeting eyes, those moments come so clear
I’ve saved a lot by caring deep, that’s why I keep you near
But when I fit myself too much to what you hope I’ll be
On the way home my chest is quietly crying in me
Noticing can be my strength
And also where I’m bruised
It’s easy just to blame someone
But that’s not what I choose
So hey, I want to be the one
Who understands my heart first, too
Don’t make me guess, just say it out loud
My heart doesn’t have to rush a thing
Even if I’m good at acting fine
I only wanted rest—nothing
A time to think of nothing
A small and gentle break
I’m saying here: I’m allowed to take
Days I could shine for someone else
Days I go dark to save myself
Both of them are still my truth
None of this is wrong
Don’t make me guess, just say it out loud
I want to guard my heart with my own hands
If kindness turns to hurting me
I’ll slowly loosen all the bands
A time to think of nothing
A small and gentle break
I’ll sing it now: I’m allowed to take
