選ばなかった私 (Erabanakatta watashi) / I Who Did Not Choose

In a world divided between those who would destroy the Spark and those who would burn everything to protect it, she remains in the silence in-between. Once, she made a choice—not to choose sides, but to care for what others abandoned. Bound by a promise to the Spark and haunted by what she could not undo, she tends to lives no longer seen as worth saving. This song is her voice — quiet, unwavering, and rooted in the soil of everything lost. --- Project playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/d933cc27-4d4d-40d1-9f2c-8a0a7660b568 --- English lyrics below ⬇️ --- [Verse 1] 父と母が帰らなかった夜、 空も見上げられなかった。 無力な自分を責めて、 私はあの子と契約をした。 命を戻すために。 でも戻ってきたのは、 あの頃の私じゃなかった [Chorus 1] あの子を消せば　人が救われる あの子を守れば　世界が燃える 命を数え　命を捨てる どちらも　選べない 彼女（イグニス）は　何も言わない だから私は　ここに残る 咲けなかった　命のそばで 誰にも　見えない場所で [Verse 2] 庭は今日も静かだった。 誰も来ない。来ることもない。 咲いたはずの花は枯れて、 命の声は土に眠っている。 でも私が去ったら、 この場所も消えてしまうから 私は残る　一人でも。 [Chorus 2] あの子を消せば　明日が守れる あの子を守れば　光が消える 命を測り　命を捨てる 誰にも望まれない選択 彼女（イグニス）は　何も言わない だから私は　ここに残る 咲けなかった　命のそばで 誰にも　見えない場所で [Verse 3] 彼を呼び戻したとき、 戻ってきたのは彼自身だった。 でも彼は知らない——自分が死んでいたことを。 私は知っている。それだけが違っていた。 彼は変わっていない。 だけど私は　もう隣にいられない。 その命は、 私の嘘から始まっているから。 [Final Chorus] 誰も来なくても　私は咲く 誰も見なくても　ここで咲く 戦うためじゃない 変えるためでもない ただいつか　あの子がここを通ると信じて そのとき　一輪でも咲いていたなら それでいい それだけでいい --- English lyrics --- [Verse 1] The night they never returned to me, I stared at the ground, silently. Blaming myself for being so small, I reached for a voice that answered the call. I made a vow with no true plan — To bring back life… but lost who I am. [Chorus 1] If she dies, the world survives. If she lives, the fire arrives. They count the lives, then throw them away — I won’t choose. I can’t obey. The Spark says nothing, so I remain With those who never bloomed in vain. Out of sight, where no one sees — Not even her. Not even me. [Verse 2] The garden’s quiet, as it's always been. No one enters. Nothing within. The flowers fall before they bloom — Their voices sleep beneath the gloom. But if I leave, it all will fade. So I remain. Though I’m afraid. [Chorus 2] If she is gone, the skies may clear. If she is saved, the dawn may sear. They weigh the lives and burn them through — I don’t consent. I still won’t choose. The Spark says nothing, so I remain With those who never bloomed in vain. Out of sight, where no one sees — Not even her. Not even me. [Verse 3] I brought him back. And yes, he came. But he never knew the flame Had once consumed him. I knew well. And that became my private hell. He looked the same, but I withdrew — His life began with what’s untrue. He lives because I told a lie — And I can’t stay beside that life. [Final Chorus] Even if no one ever comes, I bloom. Even if no one sees, I do. Not for a war, Not for the end. Only because The Spark may one day pass again — And if a single flower stands… That will be enough. That’s where I am.
