----

My lips told a lie
For a trivial reason
I suppose it was for no one else
But only to protect me
When I was thoughtless

When I noticed, I was trapped and at a loss
Surrounded by countless lies

The sky I looked up at was beautiful
I thought of you
I wished I could walk with firm steps
Facing forward like you

But I escaped from the reality
Escaped from all the pain
I said to myself
"I'll be my ideal self some day
Though I'm far from that now"

After such excuses, my eyes were opened
What I could do was only to live in the present time

Does this voice reach you?
Does it ring in your heart?
I'm walking on today
Looking at your back as a guidepost to live
