1.It seems you want to make me the protagonist
2.Though it’s all about pain and things like that
3.I don’t want to stand out
4.But I do want to be your heroine5.
6.Born into a body I couldn’t choose
7.Am I drawn to touch the one I chose, you?
8.A whistle teases my reddened ears
9.And the autumn wind pushes my back
10.It steals away sighs that drift in white11.
12.Even on cloudy nights, the moon still shines
13.It hides because it wants to be found
14.Even beneath a blanket, it glows
15.Casting light over a small world
16.I wonder if you’ve already fallen asleep17.
18.I thought nothing could last forever
19.In moments of happiness
20.And I thought it might go on forever
21.In moments of pain
22.Even dressed in convenient lies
23.To cover inconvenient truths
24.My heart remains chilled somewhere deep inside25.
26.Even on cloudy nights, the moon still shines
27.If you avert your gaze, you’ll lose sight of it
28.So even on cloudy nights, I’ll search for the moon
29.The moon that shines even when I close my eyes30.
31.Please, may it light your steps
32.Please, may it shine on the jewels of your lashes
33.Please, may it illuminate even your darkest nights
34.Oh cloudy moon, show your face and cast your light35.
36.It seems you want to make me the protagonist
37.Though it’s about pain and its opposite
38.These unremarkable days
39.Clouded breaths turn white once more with laughter
