Though it’d be fine if I were to give up…
Though I’m thinking I should just quit…
I can’t even run away;
So unsteady, so unsteady…
At the fault of my having no confidence,
I’m unable to even express myself,
Which makes me lose my confidence… in a spiral,
Spinning, spinning…
But now that we’ve met,
I won’t lose sight of it again!
If I have a smile,
I don’t need a single thing;
I don’t need,
Expensive things,
Or flashy jewellery.
Let’s gather around the dinner table,
Setting spaces for,
Yesterday’s mistakes,
And uncertain tomorrows.
Y’know, I don’t need a thing;
I don’t need,
Exquisite flavors,
Or fancy presentation.
Even if the taste of tears,
Is salty –
In the end,
If you can still smile,
That’s spice.
My feelings just can’t keep up,
And I end up stopping along the way.
But tomorrow just won’t wait for me,
So exasperated, so exasperated…
Joining hands ’til it hurts;
Keeping our shaking hands steady –
It’d be nice if we could keep moving forward,
At the speed of the beating hearts!
Let’s cry with all our might…
And laugh with all our might!
If we’re together,
I don’t need a single thing;
I don’t need any more,
Fake smiles,
Or false pride.
Let’s tidily fold away,
Weaknesses and complaints,
Storing them away in the back of a drawer.
Y’know, I don’t need a thing;
I don’t need,
That extra aroma,
Or unnecessary coloring.
Even if just the ingredients alone,
Is not enough,
If without decoration,
You can still smile…
No matter the group of people,
I’ve been alone;
Even if I’m still alone now,
I’m not lonely in the slightest!
If I have a smile,
I don’t need a single thing;
I don’t need,
Expensive things,
Or flashy jewellery.
Let’s gather around the dinner table,
Setting spaces for,
Yesterday’s mistakes,
And uncertain tomorrows.
Y’know, I don’t need a thing;
I don’t need,
Exquisite flavors,
Or fancy presentation.
Even if the taste of tears,
Is salty –
In the end,
If you can still smile,
If you can still smile,
With people precious to you…
If you can still smile,
Then above all else,
That’s spice.
