lyrics: ayumi hamasaki
composer: kazuhito kikuchi
arranger: hal

choosing only the things you like

isn't irresponsible.
if you can't find anything you like
then why accept the responsibility?
i take only the possibilities that i'm ready to accept.

if it's something you don't need then

compassion is of no use at all.
if it's something important then
pain will probably accompany it.
loneliness that you feel together is worse
than a loneliness that you feel
by yourself.

no matter what loneliness comes,

no matter what pain you feel,
you mustn't close your eyes to it.
because even if you lose all your
words, even if you say it doesn't matter,
if you stumble
it will be there to help you up.
that's what kind of thing it is.

ah, that promise we made that day.

i don't want to keep it by myself.
ah, that far off dream we talked of throughout the night.
i don't want to make it come true by myself.
i can't tell anyone. i want to tell someone, that
that person is more important to me than anyone else.

la la la-
in a nonexistant place
i stand as i am.
please be yourself.
that's how i want you to be.

la la la-
in a nonexistant place
i stand as i am.
please be yourself.
i want you to be that way forever.
