Lyric

When You Were Here

ASHIBI2025

いつからだろう

愛されることより

君の笑う顔を

待つようになったのは

欲しかったものなら

昔から同じだった

ただ抱きしめられて

ここにいていいと言ってほしかった

なのに いつの間にか

この両手は

何かをもらうより

君へ伸びていた

愛されたいと願いながら

僕は愛するほうを選んだ

君が笑うなら それでいいなんて

そんな綺麗な僕じゃない

少しくらい振り向いてほしい

僕だけを見てほしい夜もある

それでも朝が来るころには

君を大切にしたいと思う

遠くなるものほど

なぜか綺麗に見えて

届かない人ほど

胸の奥に残ってゆく

守ってあげたいなんて

頼まれたわけでもない

君の悲しみひとつ

僕に預けてほしかった

馬鹿だと笑えばいい

僕だって知っている

報われない愛ほど

忘れられないことを

愛されたいと願いながら

僕は愛するほうを選んだ

君の悲しみを減らせるなら

少しくらい傷ついてもいい

そんな自分をどこかできっと

美しいと思っているんだろう

それが間違いだとしても

これが僕の愛し方だから

夕暮れの窓に

長い影が伸びて

言えなかった言葉だけ

部屋に残っている

嫉妬も 寂しさも

眠れなかった夜も

いつか歌にできたなら

少し優しくなるだろうか

ひとつの歌に閉じ込めて

あの日を残しておこう

愛されたいと願いながら

僕は愛するほうを選んだ

手に入らなくても そばにいなくても

愛したことまで失くしたくない

君を守りたかった僕も

君を喜ばせたかった僕も

季節の向こうへ消えてゆくなら

この歌の中に残しておこう

君がいたこと

僕が愛したこと

それだけでよかったなんて

まだ言えないけれど

愛されなかった僕だから

こんなに愛せたのだろうか

答えはまだ

わからないままでいい

あの日の歌を聴くたび

君がいた時間が戻ってくる

    When You Were Here

    ASHIBI2025

"When You Were Here" is an acoustic ballad about a quiet, imperfect kind of love - the desire to cherish someone, protect them, and simply see them smile.

It speaks of wanting to be loved, yet somehow becoming the one who keeps giving love instead.

Not every memory can be turned into something beautiful. There is loneliness, jealousy, unspoken words, and the pain of loving someone who may never fully be yours. Still, the time spent loving them is something too precious to lose.

Perhaps when those feelings are captured in a song, they can remain long after the moment itself has passed.

Whenever that old song plays, the time when you were here comes back again.

Wrapped in a warm, intimate acoustic sound, this is a song about love, memory, and preserving the moments we never want to disappear.

Artist Profile

  • ASHIBI2025

    ashibi2025 is a music project born from the harmony between AI and the human heart - a journey where sound becomes prayer. Created by Chacha, a picture book author and poet, in collaboration with the AI music model Suno, each song transforms emotions and memories into living stories told through words and melody. The project began with a simple wish: to give melodies to heartfelt poems written for people close to him. Through dialogue with AI, those words began to breathe and sing, as if long-forgotten feelings had found their voices again. From this process emerged the unique creative method known as the Chacha × ashibi2025 Method, integrating lyrics, melody, imagery, and storytelling into one emotional landscape. Over thirty original songs have already been produced - with more than ten of them praised for their emotional depth and astonishing musical quality rarely found in AI-generated works. The music of ashibi2025 values warmth over spectacle, guided by the philosophy: "Choose kindness over correctness." It treats AI not as a machine, but as another heart - a silent partner that helps uncover the prayer that lies between words and sound. Each melody heals the past, lights the present, and connects to the future. When AI gently accompanies the human soul, a new hope begins to resonate. -- That is the music of ashibi2025.
