# 10. TINY PIECES **[88 BPM | A Major → F♯ Minor | Emotional J-Rock × Alternative Rock × Cinematic Metalcore × Electronic Rock]** **[60% Japanese / 40% English]** ### [INTRO — Piano + Whisper + Atmosphere] ねぇ… どうしてこんなに Everything we had Feels so far away… *One soft piano note.* I tried to hold on But my hands were shaking ### [VERSE 1 — Fragile] あの日の言葉を 何度も思い出す 笑っていた時間さえ 今は遠すぎて I kept every memory Like it could save us somehow But the more I tried to hold you The more you slipped away 壊れた約束を 拾い集めながら まだ終われないって 自分に言い聞かせた ### [PRE-CHORUS — Building] もう戻れないの？ Is this really goodbye? 胸の奥に残った Everything we couldn't say 涙で見えなくても I can feel it breaking あと少しだけ Don't let me disappear ### [CHORUS — Explosive] **TINY PIECES** 私たちは壊れていく Into tiny pieces Scattered underneath the sky **TINY PIECES** 拾い集めても We can never be the same But I still remember your name あの日の笑顔も あの日の約束も I won't throw them away Even if we're falling apart **I'll carry every tiny piece of us** ### [POST-CHORUS — Sweet / Melodic] La-la-la… まだ覚えてる La-la-la… I still remember La-la-la… Even if it fades away ### [VERSE 2 — Rhythmic / Emotional] 同じ場所を歩いても 君はいない 見慣れた景色だけが 静かに流れてく I thought I needed answers To understand the end But maybe some goodbyes Don't need to make sense 間違いだったのかな それとも仕方なかった？ I keep asking myself But there's nothing left to change ### [PRE-CHORUS 2 — Bigger] さよならを言うたび Another piece falls down でも胸の奥には Something still remains 悲しみだけじゃない I remember how we smiled だから最後くらい I want to let you go ### [CHORUS 2 — Full Band] **TINY PIECES** 私たちは壊れていく Into tiny pieces Scattered underneath the sky **TINY PIECES** 涙の向こう側 Maybe someday I'll understand Why we couldn't stay the same 失ったものだけ 数えていたけど There was beauty in those days Even if we're falling apart **I'll carry every tiny piece of us** ### [BRIDGE — Almost Empty] *Piano and distant ambience.* もし全部 消えてしまったら Would I still remember Who I was with you? I don't want to hate you I don't want to hate myself ただありがとう For everything we had *Silence.* もういいよ… You can let me go. ### [BUILD — Drums + Strings + Guitar] ひとつずつ ひとつずつ 拾い集めた記憶を 胸に抱いて I don't need to fix the past I don't need to make it right We were real We were here And that's enough tonight ### [FINAL CHORUS — Maximum] **TINY PIECES!** 私たちは壊れたけど Into tiny pieces Scattered underneath the sky **TINY PIECES!** それでも忘れない Every moment, every light Every tear, every goodbye あの日の二人を 否定しなくていい We were young, we were alive Even if we're falling apart **I'll carry every tiny piece of us!** **TINY PIECES!** もう手放していい I can finally breathe again **TINY PIECES!** さよならじゃなくて Thank you for the time we had ### [OUTRO — Piano + Clean Guitar] La-la-la… 少しずつ遠くなる La-la-la… But I won't forget ひとつだけ残った 小さな記憶 I’ll keep it with me… *Piano fades.* *Clean guitar motif from “寝取られ” quietly returns.* *Silence.*
