Lyrics
【Intro】
夜が まだ
終わり方を 思い出せずにいる
【Verse 1】
靴ひも ほどけたまま
コンビニの灯りに 立ち尽くして
「ここまでかもな」って
自分にだけ 聞こえる声で言った
スマホの画面は 明るすぎて
誰の人生も 順調に見える
比べる気力も もうなくて
ただ 息だけが 残ってる
【Pre-Chorus】
立てなくていい
前も向かなくていい
今日は 倒れたままでいい
【Chorus】
大丈夫って 言わなくていい
頑張れも 今はいらない
どん底で ひざを抱えてる
その姿を 俺も見てた
負けたままでも 君は君で
終わってなんか いないから
朝になっても 無理に起きなくていい
光が射すまで ここにいるよ
【Verse 2】
間違えた数だけ
理由を 集めてきたな
でもどれも 本当で
どれも 足りなかった
笑う練習も
強がる癖も
今日は全部 脱ぎ捨てて
名前が 呼ばれても
返事できずに 黙ってた
【Pre-Chorus 2】
恥でもない
弱さでもない
それは 生きてる”しるし”だ
【Chorus】
立ち上がれって 言わないよ
夢を見ろとも 言わない
どん底で 息をしてる
それだけで 十分だ
壊れたままでも 君はまだ
小さな声で 歌ってる
明日じゃなくていい
今日じゃなくていい
そのままで 生きていけ
【Outro】
夜はいつも
説明なしで終わる
だから今は
まだ 決めなくていい

English Lyrics
(Natural, singable, restrained tone)
Intro
The night still
doesn’t remember
how to end
Verse 1
With my shoelaces undone
I’m standing under the convenience store light
“Maybe this is it,” I said
in a voice only I could hear
The screen on my phone is too bright
Everyone’s life looks like it’s going fine
I don’t even have the strength to compare
Only my breathing is left
Pre-Chorus
You don’t have to stand up
You don’t have to look ahead
It’s okay to stay fallen today
Chorus
You don’t have to say “I’m okay”
You don’t need “hang in there” right now
Curled up at rock bottom
I’ve been there too
Even if you lost, you’re still you
This isn’t the end
Even if morning comes, you don’t have to rise
I’ll stay right here until the light comes in
Verse 2
As many mistakes as I made
I collected reasons along the way
Every one of them was true
And none of them were enough
Practicing how to smile
The habit of pretending strong
Today I took them all off
When my name was called
I stayed silent, unable to answer
Pre-Chorus 2
It’s not shame
It’s not weakness
It’s proof you’re alive
Chorus
I won’t tell you to stand up
I won’t tell you to dream
Breathing at rock bottom
That alone is enough
Even broken, you’re still
singing in a small voice
Not tomorrow
Not today
Just stay alive as you are
Outro
Night always ends
without explanation
So for now
you don’t have to decide
