Boku Ga Shinou To Omotta No Wa
Mika Nakashima
The Reason I Thought I'd Die
The reason I thought I'd die is because the seagull cried on the pier
Floating between the waves, disappearing, chasing the past, flying away
The reason I thought I'd die is because the apricot blossoms bloomed on my birthday
If I sing in that dappled sunlight, can I become a dead insect and soil?
White misty rain, the lighthouse of the fishing port, a rusty arch bridge, an abandoned bicycle
In front of the wooden stove at the wooden station, a heart that can't set off 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 is because my heart became empty
Crying because it's not fulfilled, surely because it wants to be fulfilled
The reason I thought I'd die is because my shoelaces came untied
I'm not good at tying them back, connections with people are also weak
The reason I thought I'd die is because the boy was staring at me
On the bed, bowing down, saying sorry to the me of that day
The faint darkness of the computer, the sounds of daily life in the constantly meeting room
The sound of the intercom chime, a boy in a birdcage covering his ears
Fighting invisible enemies, a Don Quixote in a six-mat room
The goal is always something ugly
The reason I thought I'd die is because I was called a cold person
Crying because I want to be loved, surely because I've come to know the warmth of people
The reason I thought I'd die is because you smile beautifully
Thinking only about death is surely because I take living too seriously
The reason I thought I'd die is because I hadn't met you yet
I've started to like the world where people like you are born a little
I have a little hope for the world where people like you live
