1.If you were suddenly gone, the world probably wouldn’t come to a halt
2.If I were suddenly gone, that girl might still be smiling
3.From the moment we’re born, we try to keep from being forgotten
4.By smiling, and smiling and smiling and smiling, until we’re sick to our stomachs5.
6.Being forgotten is more frightening than dying
7.I thought no one would pay attention to me if I didn’t howl like a mad dog
8.Just like those paintings that aren’t worth anything till a few decades after the artist dies
9.I wonder if these useless days would start seeming beautiful somehow, if I just died 10.
11.I’ve started feeling that just by breathing, just by being alive, I’m causing nothing but trouble.
12.I’ve given up on lots of things, including the kindness of others.13.
14.For as long as I can, I’ll squeeze my throat. Stopping my breath, stopping my breath
15.But it won’t kill me… I won’t die, so I don’t think it’ll be enough to forgive me.16.
17.Even if I try to keep up appearances, even if I’m told to just believe
18.You were terrible yesterday, with a face that screamed “I’ll kill you!!!”
19.Ever since being born, we’ve tried to cover over our reality
20.By smiling, and smiling and smiling and smiling, until we’re tired of smiling and crying in the shadows
21.And then we whisper, “I wanna die,” and sure enough, two or three people start avoiding us
22.Right now, it’s spreading throughout the whole world, there’s no day the dictator switch doesn’t get pushed*
23.I thought that if I could just have simpler relationships, I could make it through my whole life
24.Oh, it’s fine. I’m not saying all this to you, so don’t mind me, goodbye25.
26.Whenever someone smiles, someone else is in despair
27.Will you just say “that’s just how it is” and watch them die?28.
29.I’ll pin that person’s face to the wall, and I’ll stab it, and stab it
30.But that won’t kill them… they won’t die, so it’d be nice if that’d be enough to forgive them31.
32.Within my memories, I ask a child, “did you manage to make some friends?”
33.The child smiles with a face much like my own, “aren’t you the one who knows that best?”
34.That’s right, isn’t it? That’s how it is, but I’ve completely forgotten
35.Why?! Why is it that you can smile like you’re having so much fun?
36.Maybe there’s still time, maybe I can still reclaim it all 37.
38.For as long as I can, I’ll squeeze my throat. Stopping my breath, stopping my breath
39.But it won’t kill me… I won’t die, so tears came flowing out instead
40.I’ll smile tomorrow, I’ll force myself to smile, I’ll smile somehow, I’ll smile desperately
41.I’ll keep living on… I won’t die
42.So won’t you forgive me?
43.So won’t you forgive me?44.
45.If you were suddenly gone, the world probably wouldn’t come to a halt
46.If I were suddenly gone, that girl might still be smiling
47.But you smiled today… you, only you, smiled today
48.With just that, my whole world was saved
49.And that’s the honest truth
