"The English lyrics are listed below after the Japanese lyrics." 返せない言葉が 画面に残って 気づけば窓には 夜が降りる 誰かの新しい 灯りが増えるたび 嬉しいはずなのに 胸がせまくなる 少し休もうと 目を閉じてみても 心だけ先へと 走ろうとする 止まった私を 責めなくたって 街の時計は 進んでゆく 誰も悪くない わかっているから 寂しいなんて 言えなかった 誰かの光を 消したいんじゃない ただ 同じ場所にいたかった 休んでいいと 言い聞かせても 世界はそっと 先へ進む 自分に向けた 優しさだけでは 追いつけない夜も あるんだよね 言葉を選んで また消してしまう 短い返事が 遠くに思えた 笑顔を交わした あの日の続きを どこかでずっと 探している 大丈夫なんて 自分に告げても 何かを失う 音が怖くて それでも誰かの 歩幅を責める そんな自分には なりたくない 誰も悪くない わかっているから 一人で答えを 探していた まぶしい光の そばにいたくて 伸ばした手だけが 宙に残る 休んでいいと 言い聞かせても 時間はずっと 流れてゆく 自分に向けた 優しさだけでは 埋まらない距離も あるんだね ふと鳴り出した 小さな音が まだ胸の中で 息をしていた 何も解けない 夜のままでも 好きだと思える ものがある 誰も悪くない わかっているから 寂しいなんて 言えなかった 置いていかれる 怖さを抱いて まだ同じ空を 見上げている 休むことにも 勇気がいるね 世界の時計は 止まらないけど 答えのないまま 夜が更けてく それでも音は 消えないでいる ─────────────── The words I couldn't send still linger on my screen Before I even know it night falls across the glass Each time another light begins to shine somewhere I should be so happy but my chest is closing in I try to take a break and close my tired eyes My heart keeps running on somewhere ahead of me Even if I don't blame the part of me that stopped The clocks across the town keep ticking all the same No one's to blame I know that much is true So I could never say how lonely I had been I never wished to dim somebody else's light I only wished to stay right where we used to be I tell myself it's fine to rest a little while And still the world moves on so quietly ahead Being kind to myself is sometimes not enough Some nights I can't catch up no matter how I try I pick my words with care then erase them once again Even the shortest reply feels far beyond my reach The smiles we used to share those days we spent together I'm still looking somewhere for the rest of our story I whisper "I'll be fine" but I still hear the sound Of something in my life slipping away from me But I don't want to blame the pace that others keep I don't want to become someone who would do that No one's to blame I know that much is true I searched for all the answers on my own again I wanted to be near those lights that shine so bright My outstretched hand was left suspended in the air I tell myself it's fine to rest a little while But time just flows along and carries on without me Being kind to myself is sometimes not enough Some distances remain no matter what I do And then a little sound began to ring somewhere It's still alive and breathing deep inside my heart Though nothing has been solved and night remains the same There's still something here that I can truly love No one's to blame I know that much is true So I could never say how lonely I had been With all my fear of being left somewhere far behind I'm still here looking up at the same endless sky Even taking a break can take a little courage The clocks of this world won't stop their hands for me The night keeps growing late with no answer in sight And still, that little sound refuses to fade away
