A Song for XX // born alone, we go on to live alone...

A Song for XX // hamasaki ayumi
lyrics: ayumi hamasaki

Why are you crying?
Why are you so unsure?
Why have you come to a stand-still?
Come on, tell me

When are you going to grow up?
How long can you stay a child?
Where have you come running from
And just how far do you intend to go on running?

I was so out of place
I didn't fit in, didn't belong
And I had no idea whether there was any
Hope for the future

They all kept telling me I was a strong kid
"Don't cry," they said,
"There's my good little one."
I didn't want a word of that kind of praise,
So I feigned ignorance

Why are you smiling?
Why are you with me?
Why are you leaving?
I just wanna know

What made you stronger?
When did you realize your weakness?
How long must we wait
Until we are able to understand one another?

It's nearly dawn
I've gotta get going
I can't stay in the same place forever

Believing in people means eventually being betrayed
To me, that's no different from being spurned
At the time, I didn't have the fortitude even to try and believe
I'm sure I knew too much about too many things

Born all alone, we live on alone
I believed that to be
The natural course of things

La la la-i...
