Boku Ga Shinou To Omotta No Wa

The reason I thought I'd die
Was because the seagull cried on the pier
Drifting away with the waves, disappearing
Chase the past and fly away

The reason I thought I'd die
Was because the apricot blossoms bloomed on my birthday
In that dappled sunlight
If I take a nap
Will I become a part of the earth

White misty rain, the lighthouse in the fishing port
The rusty arch, the bike I threw away today
In front of the wooden station's stoop
A heart that can't depart anywhere
Today feels just like yesterday
If I want to change tomorrow, I have to change today
I know, I know, but

The reason I thought I'd die
Was because my heart felt empty
Crying because it's not fulfilled
Surely because I wish to be fulfilled

The reason I thought I'd die
Was because my shoelaces came undone
I'm not good at tying them back
Connections with people are also firm

The reason I thought I'd die
Was because the boy was staring at me
Kneeling on the bed, apologizing to the me of that day

The faint light of the computer
The sounds of life in the fortress room
The intercom chime
The boy in the birdcage, blocking his ears
Fighting against invisible enemies
The Don Quixote of the six-tatami room
The goal is always something cruel

The reason I thought I'd die
Was because I was called a cold person
Crying because I want to be loved
Because I've come to know the warmth of people

The reason I thought I'd die
Was because you smile beautifully
Thinking only about death
Surely because I'm too serious about living

The reason I thought I'd die
Was because I hadn't met you yet
The world became a little more likable
Knowing that people like you exist
I have a little hope for the world where people like you live
