1.When the days feel suffocating,
2.Take a break if you need to.
3.That person seems to be managing just fine,
4.So why not go on vacation?5.
6.Trying not to care,
7.Fighting every day just to protect myself.
8.Wait a second—
9.I should be laughing,
10.But suddenly, the tears just come.11.
12.There are people I can’t catch up to,
13.That magical talent of theirs.
14.And here I am, just ashamed of myself.
15.Will I eventually
16.Give up someday?17.
18.I want to teach myself, teach myself, teach myself,
19.That it’s not all just hardship.
20.Time drags on in a messy way,
21.But isn’t it okay
22.To embrace something bittersweet,
23.Something tender?
24.Isn’t that love?
25.And surely, it’s okay to do what you love, right?26.
27.The weekend gathers crowds of people,
28.Long lines and those waiting their turn.
29.Even that person who seems so good at everything
30.Must have gained their balance of on and off through some pain.31.
32.I don’t want to be disliked—
33.If possible, I want everyone to like me.
34.But just a little,
35.The way I force myself feels so disgusting,
36.That by midnight, I can’t even cry.37.
38.Love, romance,
39.Friendship—I don’t really understand them,
40.But maybe it doesn’t have to be so complicated.
41.Is there someone out there
42.Waiting for me?43.
44.I want to teach you, teach you, teach you,
45.That it’s not all just hardship.
46.Even if, in the end, you drift far away,
47.Let’s treasure today, when we can still laugh.
48.Someday, it’ll be goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.49.
50.In the crowd full of enviable people,
51.I want to tell you I like you.
52.There are days that aren’t fun,
53.That much I can’t deny.54.
55.I know, I know, I know,
56.That it’s not all just hardship.
57.Someday, you’ll forget—
58.The days we spent together, the scent of those moments.59.
60.When the days feel suffocating,
61.Take a little break.
62.It’s okay to rest—it’s okay to rest.
