Ikinakya (I Gotta Live)
Miyuna
Text

I’m tired of living
I want to run away from tomorrow
I’m nothing but a coward
But I continue smiling

Pretending to be a prodigy
and fooling around every day
Even if I’m actually lonely
I drown myself in the night
put up with a future in which I can’t see anything
everything piled on my past self

Without being able to shed this fake friendliness
Without having my true self accepted
I keep escaping from an unpleasant reality over and over
I just kill myself every day

I don’t want to keep following the wrong path
Being deceived by a green light to lying
That person smiling over there also
sheds tears upon a rooftop somewhere

How’s the scenery once you’ve thrown something away?
Is your heart filled by betraying someone?
Is the future you saw after holding your breath beautiful?
Do you have regrets on this path you’re now walking??

I don’t want to keep following the wrong path
Being deceived by a green light to lying
That person smiling over there also
sheds tears upon a rooftop somewhere

I’ve gotta live…
