from M(A)DE IN JAPAN album.

I looked into your eyes as you gave a gentle smile
And I heard a voice say “love does not exist in this world”
Your back, so small and unreliable as always
Appears even smaller and dimmer now
How much more must I strive
Before they stop telling me to strive on?
How much tougher must I pretend to be
Before I’m no longer affected by the words “you’re so strong”?
When I realized I had reached the place of my dreams
It was, in the end, just a continuation of reality
Repeating the same mistakes even now
Unable to make them right, regret piles up
I’ll walk on like this
I’ll walk on all the way forever
I’m no longer frightened of anything
And that’s the only thing that really frightens me
How much more must I strive
Before they stop telling me to strive on?
How much tougher must I pretend to be
Before I’m no longer affected by the words “you’re so strong”?
I’ll walk on like this
I’ll walk on all the way forever
I’m no longer frightened of anything
And that’s the only thing that really frightens me

Yasashiku waratteiru anata no me wo mitsumetetara
Kono yo ni wa ai nado sonzai shinai to kikoeta
Aikawarazu chiisakute tayorinai
Senaka wa imasara ni chiisakute bonyari suru
Ato dono kurai ganbatta nara
Ganbatte tte iwarezu ni sumu no
Ato dono kurai tsuyogatta nara
Tsuyoi ne tte kotoba kiki nagaseru no
Yume ni mita basho ni tadori tsuita ki ga shita toki
Soko wa kekkyoku tada no genjitsu no tsuzuki datta
Ayamachi wa imademo kuri kaesare
Tadasenai mama kita koukai ga fueterun darou
Kono mama boku wa aruite yuku yo
Kono saki zutto aruite yuku yo
Kowai mono nado ima wa mou nai yo
Tada sono koto ga totemo kowai yo
Ato dono kurai ganbatta nara
Ganbatte tte iwarezu ni sumu no
Ato dono kurai tsuyogatta nara
Tsuyoi ne tte kotoba kiki nagaseru no
Kono mama boku wa aruite yuku yo
Kono saki zutto aruite yuku yo
Kowai mono nado ima wa mou nai yo
Tada sono koto ga totemo kowai yo

KANJI
優しく笑っているあなたの目を見つめてたら
この世には愛など存在しないと聴こえた
相変わらず小さくて頼りない
背中は今更に小さくてぼんやりする
あとどの位頑張ったなら
頑張ってって言われずに済むの
あとどの位強がったなら
強いねって言葉聞き流せるの
夢に見た場所に辿り着いた気がした時
そこは結局ただの現実の続きだった
過ちは今でも繰り返され
正せないまま来た後悔が増えてるんだろう
このまま僕は歩いて行くよ
この先ずっと歩いて行くよ
こわいものなど今はもうないよ
ただその事がとてもこわいよ
あとどの位頑張ったなら
頑張ってって言われずに済むの
あとどの位強がったなら
強いねって言葉聞き流せるの
このまま僕は歩いて行くよ
この先ずっと歩いて行くよ
こわいものなど今はもうないよ
ただその事がとてもこわいよ
