Lyric

何度も繰り返してきたのに

(Even though I've done it over and over again)

覚えられないことばかり

(It's just full of things I can't remember)

頭が真っ白になって

(My mind goes blank)

手が止まってしまう

(And my hands just stop)

怠けてるって言われても

(Even when they say I'm being lazy)

必死にやっているのに

(I'm trying as hard as I can)

比べられるたびに

(Every time I'm compared)

消えてしまいたくなる

(I just want to disappear)

努力不足じゃない

(It's not a lack of effort)

これ以上できないほどに

(So much that I can't do any more)

努力不足じゃない

(It's not a lack of effort)

わかってもらえないまま

(But I'm still not understood)

笑顔で隠していたけれど

(I tried to hide it with a smile)

心はずっと壊れそうで

(But my heart has always felt like it's about to break)

「普通ならできるでしょ」と

("A normal person could do this, right?")

突き放されるだけ

(I'm just pushed away)

どれだけ頑張っても

(No matter how hard I try)

同じ場所に立てなくて

(I can't stand in the same place as others)

追いつけない悔しさが

(The frustration of not being able to catch up)

胸を締めつけていく

(Tightens its grip on my chest)

努力不足じゃない

(It's not a lack of effort)

何度も自分を責めてきた

(I've blamed myself over and over)

努力不足じゃない

(It's not a lack of effort)

それでも届かない声

(But still, my voice doesn't reach)

眠れない夜を越えて

(Getting through sleepless nights)

涙に濡れた朝が来る

(The tear-stained morning arrives)

「頑張ってるね」その言葉さえ

(Even the words, "You're trying so hard")

誰からも聞こえなかった

(I couldn't hear them from anyone)

努力不足じゃない

(It's not a lack of effort)

なのに置き去りにされて

(And yet, I'm left behind)

努力不足じゃない

(It's not a lack of effort)

孤独の中で　泣き叫ぶ

(Screaming and crying in the solitude)
