You, me and I

Before I say yes,
Would you listen to my selfish requests?
Before we take this step,
Would you hold my hand knowing I might still say no?

Don't try to protect me,
Without telling me what I am being protected from.
Don't run ahead and clear the path,
Without letting me know you are going.

Don't tell me not to worry,
Because I will always do.
Don't go down the road to save me without me,
Because it wont work.

Did you know I was very fragile?
Even if you say you don't want me to worry or stop smiling,
Did you know I will always smile,
Just as easily as I breathe too?

Don't do things behind my back
because you are thinking about me,
Don't leave me in the dark,
because you think it's for my own good.

For the world,
Did you know I never cry but always smile?
I'm afraid, and I think you know why,
You do, don't you?

So now that you know,
Would you hold my hand still knowing I might say no?
Would you walk with me still, knowing I might turn and run right back?
Would you take the chance still, knowing I might not trust you enough to do so either?


Yapari, Migatte ne? Atashi?
Don't try to protect me,
By leaving me in the dark.
Don't tell me to smile and not worry,
and take care of it because I would.
Don't leave me behind ever,
because I might break.

Hold my hand as you ask,
Hold my hand as I answer,
Hold my hand through it all, onegaishimasu...

because...atashino sayaku no jidayo o sorete iru dakedu sorete...
dakara, dakara...taskete ni onegaishimas...

So now you know,
Would you let me be selfish just with you?
Would you let me take off this mask just for you?
