Ayumi Hamasaki - A Song For Xx Lyrics

Romaji:

Doushite naite iru no
Doushite mayotteru no
Doushite tachidomaru no
Nee oshiete
Itsu kara otona ni naru
Itsu made kodomo de ii no
Doko kara hashitte kite
Nee doko made hashiru no

Ibasho ga nakatta mitsukara nakatta
Mirai ni wa kita dekiru no ka wakarazu ni

Itsumo tsuyoi ko da ne tte iwaretsuzuketeta
Nakanai de erai ne tte homeraretari shite ita yo
Sonna kotoba hitotsu mo nozonde nakatta
Dakara wakaranai furi wo shite ita

Doushite waratteru no
Doushite soba ni iru no
Doushite hanareteku no
Nee oshiete
Itsu kara tsuyoku natta
Itsu kara yowasa kanjita
Itsu made matte ireba
Wakariaeru hi ga kuru

Mou hi ga noboru ne sorosoro ikanakya
Itsu made mo onaji tokoro ni wa irarenai

Hito wo shinjiru koto tte itsuka uragirare
Hane tsukerareru koto to onaji to omotte ita yo
Ano koro sonna chikara doko ni mo nakatta
Kitto ironna koto shirisugiteta

Itsumo tsuyoi ko da ne tte iwaretsuzuketeta
Nakanai de erai ne tte homeraretari shite ita yo
Sonna fuu ni mawari ga ieba iu hodo ni
Warau koto sae kutsuu ni natteta

Hitori kiri de umarete hitori kiri de ikiteyuku
Kitto sonna mainichi ga atari mae to omotteta

English:

Why am I crying?
Why am I lost?
Why did I stop?
Please tell me
When will I grow up?
How long can I stay a child?
Where have I come running from?
Where am I running to?

I had no place to live. I couldn't find one.
I don't know if I could have any hope for the future.

They always said I was a strong child.
They praised me, saying "you must be strong to not cry."
I didn't want those words at all.
So I pretended not to understand.

Why are you laughing?
Why are you by my side?
Why are you leaving me?
Please tell me.
When did you become strong?
Since when have you felt weakness?
How long must you wait
for the day you understand to come?

The sun is rising. I must go soon.
I can't stay in the same place forever.

You will someday be betrayed by your trust in people.
I thought it was the same as being rejected.
At the time I didn't have that kind of strength.
I definitely knew too much.

They always said I was a strong child.
They praised me, saying "you must be strong not to cry."
The more people said things like that,
the more even laughing became agony.

I was born alone. I'll go on living alone.
I thought that surely that kind of life is appropriate.
