Hamasaki, Ayumi - Breakdown Lyrics

[Romanized:]

Yasashiku waratte iru anata no me wo mitsumetetara
Kono yo ni wa ai nado sonzai shinai to kikoeta

Aikawarazu chiisakute tayorinai
Senaka wa ima sara ni chiisakute bonyari suru

Ato dono kurai ganbatta nara
Ganbattette iwarezu ni sumu no
Ato dono kurai tsuyogatta nara
Tsuyoi ne tte kotoba kikinagaseru no

Yume ni mita basho ni tadori kiita ki ga shita toki
Soko wa kekkyoku tada no genjitsu no tsuzuki datta

Ayamachi wa ima demo kurikaesare
Tadasenai mama kita koukai ga fueteru n darou

Kono mama boku wa aruite yuku yo
Kono saki zutto aruite yuku yo
Kowai mono nado ima wa mou nai yo
Tada sono koto ga totemo kowai yo

Ato dono kurai ganbatta nara
Ganbattette iwarezu ni sumu no
Ato dono kurai tsuyogatta nara
Tsuyoi ne tte kotoba kikinagaseru no

Kono mama boku wa aruite yuku yo
Kono saki zutto aruite yuku yo
Kowai mono nado ima wa mou nai yo
Tada sono koto ga totemo kowai yo

Kono mama

[Japanese:]

優しく笑っているあなたの目を見つめてたら
この世には愛など存在しないと聴こえた

相変わらず小さくて頼りない
背中は今更に小さくてぼんやりする

あとどの位頑張ったなら
頑張ってって言われずに済むの
あとどの位強がったなら
強いねって言葉聞き流せるの

夢に見た場所に辿り着いた気がした時
そこは結局ただの現実の続きだった

過ちは今でも繰り返され
正せないまま来た後悔が増えてるんだろう

このまま僕は歩いて行くよ
この先ずっと歩いて行くよ
こわいものなど今はもうないよ
ただその事がとてもこわいよ

あとどの位頑張ったなら
頑張ってって言われずに済むの
あとどの位強がったなら
強いねって言葉聞き流せるの

このまま僕は歩いて行くよ
この先ずっと歩いて行くよ
こわいものなど今はもうないよ
ただその事がとてもこわいよ

[English translation:]

When I gazed into your eyes as you smiled sweetly
I heard, "Love doesn't exist in this world"

Your back is small and forlorn as always
But now it's even smaller and becoming faint

After how much longer must I try my hardest
Until I'm stopped being told to do my best?
After how much longer must I pretend to be strong
Until I can ignore the words "You're strong"?

When I'd felt like I'd finally reached the place of my dreams
In the end it was just a continuation of reality

Mistakes are repeated even now
And, unable to correct them, regrets increase

I'll keep on walking like this
I'll walk on after this forever
I no longer have anything I'm afraid of now
And just that really scares me

After how much longer must I try my hardest
Until I'm stopped being told to do my best?
After how much longer must I pretend to be strong
Until I can ignore the words "You're strong"?

I'll keep on walking like this
I'll walk on after this forever
I no longer have anything I'm afraid of now
And just that really scares me
