KANJI
どうして泣いているの
どうして迷ってるの
どうして立ち止まるの
ねえ教えて
いつから大人になる
いつまで子供でいいの
どこから走ってきて
ねえどこまで走るの
居場所がなかった 見つからなかった
未来には期待出来るのか分からずに
いつも強い子だねって言われ続けてた
泣かないで偉いねって褒められたりしていたよ
そんな言葉ひとつも望んでなかった
だから解らないフリをしていた
どうして笑ってるの
どうしてそばにいるの
どうして離れてくの
ねえ教えて
いつから強くなった
いつから弱さ感じた
いつまで待っていれば
解り合える日が来る
もう陽が昇るね そろそろ行かなきゃ
いつまでも同じ所には いられない
人を信じる事って いつか裏切られ
; はねつけられる事と同じと思っていたよ
あの頃そんな力どこにもなかった
きっと 色んなこと知り過ぎてた
いつも強い子だねって言われ続けてた
泣かないで偉いねって褒められたりしていたよ
そんな風に周りが言えば言う程に
笑うことさえ苦痛になってた
一人きりで生まれて 一人きりで生きて行く
きっとそんな毎日が当り前と思ってた
ENGLISH (Translation)
Why are you crying?
Why can't you decide?
Why do you give up?
Please tell me
When do i become an adult
How long can i stay as a child
Where did i run from
And where would i run toward
I couldn't find my place. i couldn't find it
I didn't know if i can hope for future
I've been told that i'm strong
I don't cry and they are proud of me. they gave me accolades
I didn't wish for any of these words
That's why i pretend that i didn't understand
Why are you laughing?
Why do you stay with me?
Why do you leave me?
Please tell me
When did i become strong?
When did i notice my weakness?
How long do i have to wait
To get to know each other?
The sun has risen already i have to go soon
I can't stay in the same place for too long
Trusting someone will only let me down
And i'll be the one who is hurt
That day, i couldn't do anything
Maybe, i knew too much about it
Ii've been told that i'm strong
I don't cry and they are proud of me. they gave me accolades
The more everyone around me talked in that way
Even things that made me smile became painful
I thought i was born alone and i would live by myself
I thought that kind of life is normal until i met you
