涙がこぼれ落ちないように
滲んだ空を見上げているよ

人はどうして想いの
ままに生きられないの

泣けない弱い心も
泣かない強さもいらない

願いをかける流れる
星を探してみるけど

夜明けがもう早すぎて
見付けられずにいるよ

君の事思い出す日
なんてないのは

君の事忘れた
時がないから

悲しい事に出会う度に
大丈夫だよと口グセになる
あの日何かが止まって
しまったこんな私じゃ

いくら祈ってみたって
星ひとつさえ見えない

会いたいよねぇ会いたいよ
記憶の中の

笑顔だけ優しすぎて
どうしようもない

君のこと思い出す日
なんてないのは

君の事忘れた
時がないから

会いたいよねぇ会いたいよ
記憶の中の

笑顔だけ優しすぎて
もうどうしようもない
