Sayonara de owaru wake ja nai (サヨナラで終わるわけじゃない)

itsumo no hidamari de
sotto hitomi tojite shinkokyuu shita
sugisatta tsukihi ga
ukande wa kieteku hikari to kage

nani wo yarikitta no ka?
soretomo yarinokoshita ka?
ima nara reisei ni omoidaseru

SAYONARA de owaru wake ja nai
wakaregiwa ni tsuyogatte mita
nukumori ni amaetara kitto
atarashii jibun ni narenai

tsumetai kaze ga fuku
samishii yoru ni hitori hoho wo nurasu
mirai ga kuru mae ni
ikutsu mo no yume wo mite asa wo matou

nani wo yatte mitai no ka?
kore kara dou ikiru no ka?
jiyuu to iu na no hiroi sora yo

SAYONARA de owaru wake ja nai
watashi wa mata arukihajimeru
itsu no hi ka furimukeba kitto
kono michi wo kita imi ga wakaru

dakara ima wa kidzukanaide
namida nugutta sono ato wo...
yasashii kotoba kakeraretara tachidomarisou
sora wo miagesusumu

SAYONARA de owaru wake ja nai
wakaregiwa ni tsuyogatte mita
nukumori ni amaetara kitto
atarashii jibun ni narenai

いつもの陽だまりで
そっと瞳閉じて 深呼吸した
過ぎ去った月日が
浮かんでは消えてく光と影

何を遣(や)り切ったのか?
それとも遣(や)り残したか?
今なら冷静に思い出せる

サヨナラで終わるわけじゃない
別れ際に強がってみた
温もりに甘えたらきっと
新しい自分になれない

冷たい風が吹く
寂しい夜に一人 頬を濡らす
未来が来る前に
いくつもの夢を見て朝を待とう

何をやってみたいのか?
これからどう生きるのか?
自由という名の広い空よ

サヨナラで終わるわけじゃない
私はまた歩き始める
いつの日か振り向けばきっと
この道を来た意味がわかる

だから今は気づかないで
涙 拭ったその跡を…
やさしい言葉 掛けられたら立ち止まりそう
空を見上げ進む

サヨナラで終わるわけじゃない
別れ際に強がってみた
温もりに甘えたらきっと
新しい自分になれない

In the usual patch of sunlight
I softly close my eyes and take a deep breath
Visions of the passing days
Come to me and fade away in light and shadow

What was I able to accomplish?
And what more was left to be done?
Only now can I calmly remember

Goodbye doesn’t mean it ends
Though I put on a brave face during our parting
If I let myself be coddled by your warmth
I wouldn’t be able to change myself

A colder wind starts to blow
On nights when I’m alone there are tears on my cheeks
Before the future arrives
I’ll dream so many dreams while waiting for the dawn

What is it I want to achieve?
And how should I live from now on?
What we call freedom is a vast, expansive sky

Goodbye doesn’t mean it ends
As I’m starting to move forward again
I’m sure someday when I turn to look back
I’ll understand the meaning of the path I took

Because right now I can’t perceive
What comes after I dry my tears…
If I’m burdened by kind words I may not move forward
So I’ll walk while looking up at the sky

Goodbye doesn’t mean it ends
Though I put on a brave face during our parting
If I let myself be coddled by your warmth
I wouldn’t be able to change myself
