Hourglass Story

けさぼくはさかさまにたって
kesa boku wa sakasama ni tatte
せかいをみていた
sekai wo mite ita
かわらないけしきのなかで
kawaranai keshiki no naka de
あすをさがしていた
asu wo sagashite ita

こころのがらくたにうまった
kokoro no garakuta ni umatta
なくしたかこのかのぴーす
nakushita kako no piisu
ひとつひとつすりぬけていたんだ
hitotsu hitotsu surinukete itan da
なみだとともに
namida to tomoni
すなどけいのように
sunadokei no you ni

ときのなみに
toki no nami ni
あせるたびに
aseru tabi ni
たいせつなものをみうしなっていた
taisetsu na mono wo miushinatte ita
but the answer i need
but the answer i need
has been there in front of me
has been there in front of me

I've tried so hard to see
I've tried so hard to see
The good inside of me
The good inside of me
But all that I could find
But all that I could find
Was the heartache left in me
Was the heartache left in me

I tried so hard to break
I tried so hard to break
The chains surrounding me
The chains surrounding me
To let myself become
To let myself become
Who I was meant to be
Who I was meant to be
In my life
In my life

みえないかべに
mienai kabe ni
ぶつかるたびに
butsukaru tabi ni
くりかえしじぶんをひていしていた
kurikaeshi jibun wo hitei shite ita
but the change that i need
but the change that i need
Is to set myself free
Is to set myself free

I've tried so hard to see
I've tried so hard to see
The good inside of me
The good inside of me
But all that I could find
But all that I could find
Was the heartache left in me
Was the heartache left in me

I tried so hard to break
I tried so hard to break
The chains surrounding me
The chains surrounding me
To let myself become
To let myself become
Who I was meant to be
Who I was meant to be

たとえいつかすなにのこした
tatoe itsuka suna ni nokoshita
あしあとがきえてしまっても
ashiato ga kiete shimatte mo
ぼくのあかしはときがきざんでる
boku no akashi wa toki ga kizanderu

うんめいなんてしんじてないけど
unmei nante shinjitenai kedo
いきてるんだとただかんじたくて
ikiterun da to tada kanjitakute
このせかいでひとりじゃないんだと
kono sekai de hitori ja nain da to
きみがぼくにみせてくれた
kimi ga boku ni misete kureta

I've tried so hard to see
I've tried so hard to see
The good inside of me
The good inside of me
I've tried so hard to find
I've tried so hard to find
The strength inside of me
The strength inside of me

But if I can't go on
But if I can't go on
When every hope is gone
When every hope is gone
I pray that there will be
I pray that there will be
A hand to lead me on
A hand to lead me on

I've tried so hard to see
I've tried so hard to see
The good inside of me
The good inside of me
But all that I could find
But all that I could find
Was the heartache left in me
Was the heartache left in me

I just need to believe
I just need to believe
The strength inside of me
The strength inside of me
And piece together all
And piece together all
The shards of broken dreams in my life
The shards of broken dreams in my life

けさぼくはさかさまにたって
kesa boku wa sakasama ni tatte
せかいをみていた
sekai wo mite ita
とまっていたぼくのじかんが
tomatte ita boku no jikan ga
またうごきだしていた
mata ugokidashite ita
すなどけいのなかで
sunadokei no naka de
