Lyric

Lifetime of Selfishness

Tera Kira

An endless, cold rain begins to fall

I looked up at the sky, feeling so small

Maybe it's okay to get wet for a while

Not that it’ll change a thing, or bring back a smile

I know it won't change anything at all

Since that moment, everything has stayed still

There was "You," there was "I," and a world we could fill

Even the tiny things were happiness, until

Until the gears began to creak and groan

Snatching away the time that we had known

Before that, I know we were perfectly aligned

It hurts so much

Surely, you must have been

Suffering even more than this

To a person as helpless and weak as me

You sent a signal with all your might, for me to see

Suppressing the feelings that were about to overflow

I gently held your hand, and wouldn't let go

Only the time I don't need keeps piling high

While a book I can no longer read lies nearby

Left behind, just gathering dust under the sky

I’ve been repeating the same scene in my head

Over and over, all the things that were said

"I have to keep moving," that's what I say

As the things I’m missing increase every day

I try to patch them up, trying to find a way

But it doesn't mean anything anymore

If I offered this whole life, made of fragile things

Even if I gave you everything my soul brings

It still wouldn't be enough for you, I know

I’m so lonely

Even on the nights when I used to manage somehow

I can't even sleep properly now

I never knew that the night could be this long

Wishing for one more chance, even if the dream is wrong

If I could fall asleep and rewind the clock

Truth is, I wanted to tell you everything, no more lock

Letting my emotions pour out like a flood

But I’m sure that troubled face of yours

Would only be worried, behind closed doors

I can't stay sane like this

All the countless feelings that I missed

And couldn't convey to you

Are overflowing now, through and through

I feel like I’m going to drown

Somehow, let me go back to that time

If one lifetime’s worth of selfishness wasn't a crime

If it could only come true, I’d give anything

Through a break in the clouds

Floating high in the night sky

I looked at the moon

And reached out my hand to the sky
