Donna Toki Mo (どんなときも) – Always
from Be MAX album.
——
Am I more honest than I think I am?
I need to ask someone, I’m feeling so insecure
The promise you made when I left on this journey
Has been abandoned, just like an old classroom
What those muddy sneakers can’t keep up with
Is not the train, nor time, but me
Always, always
To be myself
To be able to say “I like what I like!”
I want to hold on to that feeling
Always, always
The days I spent lost and searching
Will become my answer, that I know
Even if I hurt someone unknowingly
I have a dream which I won’t give up
Always saying “The past was better”
I really don’t want to live like that
I embrace these painful emotions
which make me want to disappear
I look in the mirror and smile, I’m still alright
Always, always
The space between these buildings seems narrow
Let the falling sunrays
Melt away our impatience
And someday, when I love someone
The strength to protect him
Will be converted into my power
Always, always
To be myself
To be able to say “I like what I like!”
I want to hold on to that feeling
Always, always
The days I spent lost and searching
Will become my answer, that I know
