A Song for ××

Lyrics: Ayumi Hamasaki

Composition: Yasuhiko Hoshino

Arrangement: Yasuhiko Hoshino

---

Why am I crying?
Why am I lost?
Why do I stand here still?
Please, tell me

When am I going to become an adult?
Until when am I allowed to stay a child?
Where have I been running from?
And tell me, where am I headed?

I didn't have a place where I belonged, I could never find one
I didn't even know if I could have any hopes for my future

I was always called a strong child
They told me I was good for not crying
I never once wished for any of those words
So I pretended that I didn't understand

Why are you smiling?
Why are you by my side?
Why are you leaving me?
Please, tell me

Since when have I become strong?
Since when have I felt so weak?
How long should I keep waiting
Until we finally understand each other?

The sun is rising already... I must go now
I can't stay in the same place forever

If I trust somebody, eventually they will betray me
I always thought that felt the same as being rejected
Back then I didn't have that kind of strength
I'm sure I knew way more things than I needed

I was always called a strong child
They told me I was good for not crying
The more people around me said that
The more painful it became to even smile

I was born alone, I'll live alone
I was always certain that I'd end up like that

La-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la
