心做し (Kokoronashi) Will Stetson

Hey you know, if I could erase the world in front of me
Do you think I could laugh and cry and smile more vividly?
Though all the same I know my heart will break in pain
Just run away and don’t say anything

Hey you know, if I could forget all that’s become of me
Do you think I could erase the tears and live my life painlessly?
Though still I know that I can’t block out all the pain
It’s all the same, don’t show me anything

Even as all the space between us two may collapse
All I have is a heart breaking fast
Give it back

How cruel of you, how cruel of you, shatter my heart ‘till it breaks in two
Tear painfully, ‘till I break and bleed, do anything that you want of me
I still cry, though I try, to scream and fight you pass me by
Come take hold of me, ever gently, don’t let me go though I cry and say
“It’s okay.”

Hey you know, if my deepest thoughts could still come true someday
I would wish, I could be like you and laugh the pain away
But I don’t have the heart to turn away from fear
If nothing more
Could you just stay right here?
