ふらふらな帰り道
家までの慣れた距離
ため息が　白く溶けてゆく

最寄りのコンビニ寄って
いつものアイス買って
ああ 泣けてきちゃう

汗かいて　涙もして
徹夜して　もがいたけど
足りなくって

がんばれないよ　これ以上は
がんばるしか　道はないけれど
気休めの自分へのご褒美じゃ
誤魔化せない
ほんとの自信だって欲しい

こんな小さな街じゃ
何にもなれるはずない
かっこつけ　うちを出た私

夢に夢を見ていた
あの日よりも上手に
笑えてるかな？

寂しくて　電話をした
けど何故か　言えなかった
「会いたいよ」

がんばりたいの　もうちょっとだけ
強がること　できるうちはまだ
いつの日か叶えられたときには
笑ってほしい
ほんとはダサい私を

だれに憧れてた？
どんな子どもだった？
見失ったら　すぐに迷子になりそうだ
何度だって　挫けたけど
それでも　まだ胸は鳴ってるの

「がんばれないよ　これ以上は」
胸を張って　言える時までは
早歩きに疲れた　この足も
止められない
さあ　明日もがんばれ

がんばりたいよ　もうちょっとだけ
強がること　できるうちはまだ
いつの日か叶えられたときには
笑ってほしい
ほんとはダサい私を

誤魔化せない
ほんとの自信だって欲しい

It’s an unsteady walk path home
I’m used to how far the distance until then is
My sighs melt into white

Stopping in at the nearest convenience store
While I’m buying my usual ice cream
Ah, I end up crying

Drenching myself in sweat, crying so many tears
Pulling so many all-nighters, I struggled so much
But it’s not enough in the end

I don’t have it in me anymore to go on any longer
Yet I don’t have any choice but to keep on going
I can’t fool myself into thinking this is a treat
For my complacent self
I wish I had some real self-confidence

I left home, acting all cool and saying
“I’ll never become anything
In such a small town like this”

I wonder if I can smile any better
Than those days
Where I was just dreaming and dreaming?

I was lonely, so I called back home
But for some reason, I was still not able to say
“I miss you”

I want to try just a little bit more
I still want to smile
When someday, all my hope and dreams come true
Even while I fake it until I make it
I’m really just so lame

Who was I trying so hard to be like?
What kind of child was I being?
When I lost sight of what I was chasing, I soon became like a lost child
I’ve been discouraged so many times
But, even so, my heart still cries out

“I don’t need to try anymore, to go any farther”
Until the time when I can say that proudly
My legs, so tired of their brisk walking
Can’t stop
OK, I’ll keep on trying

I want to try just a little bit more
I still want to smile
When someday, all my hope and dreams come true
Even while I fake it until I make it
I’m really just so lame

I can’t fool myself
I wish I had some real self-confidence
