My World

My World

My World

Leaning against the wall, I spent the whole night thinking about myself
かべにもたれてひとばんじゅうかんがえてみたんだじぶんのこと
kabe ni motarete hitobanjuu kangaete mitanda jibun no koto
Is the path I’ve chosen really the right one? I just can’t tell anymore
えらんだゆくさきはここでいいのか？わからなくなるんだ
eranda yukusaki wa koko de ii no ka? wakaranaku narunda
But no answers come, and no matter where I go, it’s a desperate struggle
でもこたえなんてでないままさどこにいたってひっしなものさ
demo kotae nante denai mama sa doko ni itatte hisshi na mono sa
I lift my downcast gaze a little, and the morning I see is clear
うつむいたしせんをすこしあげみえたあさはすんでた
utsumuita shisen o sukoshi age mieta asa wa sundeta

To be true to who I am
ぼくがぼくであるために
boku ga boku de aru tame ni
What is it that I must never lose?
うしなっちゃいけないものはなに
ushinaccha ikenai mono wa nani?
The answer that won’t come easily is painful and agonizing
かんたんにでないこたえはつらくてくるしいよ
kantan ni denai kotae wa tsurakute kurushii yo
Don’t keep dwelling on a single mistake over and over
たったいちどのミスをなんどもくよくよしないで
tatta ichido no miss o nandomo kuyokuyo shinaide
If I keep walking, maybe I can love my world
あるけばあいせるかな my world
arukeba aiseru kana my world

The more I want to hold something dear, why does it slip away?
だいじにしたいとおもうほどどうしてはなれてくのだろう
daiji ni shitai to omou hodo doushite hanareteku no darou?
I tell myself: This is enough, but then I keep searching for more
もうこれいじょうはないといいながらまたもとめるけど
mou kore ijou wa nai to iinagara mata motomeru kedo
We give names like dreams or love to things we can’t see
かたちのみにあらないものに名前をつけてゆめやあいと
katachi no mienai mono ni namae o tsukete yume ya ai to
And feel a little proud—ah, but deep down, that’s not really it
よぶことで少しほこらしげあほんとうはそんなんじゃないのに
yobu koto de sukoshi hokorashige ah hontou wa sonnan ja nai no ni

To be true to who I am
ぼくがぼくであるために
boku ga boku de aru tame ni
These words lead me astray
このことばがまよわせる
kono kotoba ga mayowaseru
The answer that won’t come easily is painful and agonizing
かんたんにでないこたえはつらくてくるしいよ
kantan ni denai kotae wa tsurakute kurushii yo
At the very least, let’s face forward and move on without hesitation
せめて、まえをむいてゆこうもともとせずに
semete, mae o muite yukou motamota sezu ni
What I'm searching for is sure to be found in this world
さがしものはみつかるはずこのworldで
sagashimono wa mitsukaru hazu kono world de

I threw it all away because it wouldn’t get through
つたわらなくてなげだした
tsutawaranakute nagedashita
I thought it’d be better if everything just broke apart
ぜんぶこわれてしまえばいいとおもっていた
zenbu kowarete shimaeba ii to omotteita
But I was wrong
でもちがう
demo chigau
If I could turn even sadness into kindness
かなしみさえやさしさにかえていけたら
kanashimi sae yasashisa ni kaete iketara
Little by little, I could come to love this world
すこしずつだけどせかいをすきになれる
sukoshi zutsu dakedo sekai wo suki ni nareru
That’s why—
だから
dakara

To be true to who I am
ぼくがぼくであるために
boku ga boku de aru tame ni
I keep searching for what that means
それがなにかをさがして
sore ga nanika o sagashite
Getting hurt, stopping in my tracks, it’s painful and agonizing
きずつきたちどまりつらくてくるしいよ
kizutsuki tachidomari tsurakute kurushii yo
But this is my one and only life—don’t keep blaming yourself
だけど、いちどっきりだじぶんをくよくよせずに
dakedo, ichidokkirida jibun o kuyokuyo seme zuni
If I keep walking, I know I can love my world
あるけばあいせるさ my world
arukeba aiseru sa my world

The light is waiting up ahead
ひかりはすすむさきにある
hikari wa susumu saki ni aru
