1.They shut me out, saying “There’s no place for you here,”
2.Turning me away at the gate
3.As blood seeps from my wind-chapped fingertips
4.I remember the feel of those big hands
5.That once held me so gently—
6.Just a little longer, I want to keep living strong7.
8.Hand in hand with pain all this time
9.Crushed beneath the weight of loneliness
10.Someday, I’ll see you again
11.In the end credits, everyone’s smiling
12.Living out the next chapter of the story13.
14.Maybe that’s just wishful thinking—
15.I laugh as I keep believing from the sidelines
16.If you’re thinking the same thing too
17.Then maybe somewhere, you’re smiling now as well
18.In this world, what can we really do?19.
20.Come on, let’s smile—
21.With all the love we’ve got22.
23.They say I’ve “changed for the worse,”
24.Or that I should “try to change a little more.”
25.I just want to live without stirring up waves
26.But deep inside, I’m screaming
27.That I don’t want it all to end like this
28.Am I just waiting to die in these empty days?29.
30.Even if the sun never rises
31.Even in a cold and dark era
32.I want to keep singing to the very end
33.I don’t hear any ending song—
34.There must be a darkness we can still light up35.
36.Sure, they laugh and call it idealistic
37.But I keep believing from the sidelines
38.Everyone is a light for someone
39.Maybe somewhere, you’re singing too—
40.In this world, what can we really do?41.
42.Just existing is a burden, isn’t it?
43.Maybe it’d be easier to erase myself… yeah, easier44.
45.Ah, I failed again—another failure
46.How many years have I said the same thing?
47.Should I just stop? Should I give up?
48.Maybe I’ll sing a song like that to get through the night49.
50.Hand in hand with pain all this time
51.Crushed beneath the weight of loneliness
52.Someday, I’ll see you again
53.In the end credits, everyone’s smiling
54.Living out the next chapter of the story55.
56.Even in a world full of nothing but pain
57.I want to keep believing
58.In moments that make my heart dance
59.Maybe somewhere, you’re walking forward too
60.There must be a darkness we can still light up61.
62.Come on, let’s smile—
63.With all the love we’ve got
