浜崎あゆみ「Marionette」の歌詞

想い出はいつの日も
美しく映るもの
誰の瞳にも同じように

だけどそう僕達は
本当は知っている
それだけではない事を

どうか忘れないで
私もあの子も君も

僕達は表面だけ
繕って死んだような
顔を隠して生きる為
生まれて来た訳じゃない

振り返られるのは
そこを通り過ぎたから
立ち止まってはまた進んだ

どうか思い出して
私もあの子も君も

僕達は傷ついて
光さえ見失い
もう何度も諦めた
それでもまだここに居る

さぁ誰の為でもなく
自分自身の手で

恐れずに立ち上がり
仮面を剥ぎ取るんだ

僕達は表面だけ
繕って死んだような
顔を隠して生きる為
生まれて来た訳じゃない
