Pretending To Be Strong

Pretending To Be Strong
Evening Star Fantasy Ambience

Lyrics:
Pretending I'm strong, saying "I'm OK"
Nodding softly to convince myself
To the memories fading into the distance
On that day, I bid you farewell

In a stranger's face in a distant town I see your image overlap
Retying the loosened threads I walk on without looking back

I can't help but wish the clock would stop for just a moment

For the things I want to protect, the dreams I can't give up
Though the path ahead is unclear, I'll press on and rise above
With the goals I strive for, and the truths that never change
I know I can be strong, and face whatever comes my way

In a world where innocent voices and warm gazes disappear in an instant
Being swallowed by trivial desires and appearances
Like I said, it's the pain of change

It's okay if there are only a few things I can believe in
Holding your certain hand
With every moment I learn kindness, I can become stronger

Because there are things I want to protect and things I can't give up
While hesitating, I'll continue on this path
Because there's a place I want to reach and unchanging things
I can still be strong

I pretended to be fine, putting on a brave face
So that I wouldn't lose anything again
I truly believed that whatever future comes, I can overcome it

Because there are things I want to protect and things I can't give up
Pulling strongly, I'll continue on this path
Because there's a place I want to reach and you, who remains unchanged
I can still be strong
