(Hello)
I opened my window, and whispered to myself quietly
(How are you?)
And in this room alone, there's no one but me
(Morning)
It's morning yet again, and rain is falling so heavily
(Tick tock)
Would someone use the key and rewind my spring; for me?

(La-la-la-la-la)

(Hello)
There was this girl back then I saw in an old anime
(How are you?)
I envied her so much, she was loved by everyone
(Sleeping)
I need to stop this day-dreaming now— 'cause I have to get ready soon
(Crying)
But first I have to cover up my own tears

Oh; I always shrug my shoulder and just say “oh well”
But I remember what you said to me the other day
"Oh, I don't have any expectations of you anymore."
Well I guess that that's okay Cause, I don't really expect much of myself anyways
But, for what reason did you really tell me that

There's some words, special ones, that I almost say out loud
But what comes out of of me is nothing more than lies
And this is how I live, precious words that I now lose,
Again Today and Tomorrow too; it always will go on—

Tell me, why does silence hide what you're feeling?
Are you afraid that someone there will be laughing?
Do you want to be alone is that your meaning?
Say, is that how you feel?
Now, I'm drowning in a sea I call “Confusion”
It hurts so very much, I can barely Breathe
All I really wanna do is hear your voice
Really, I know I'm not strong

Ah—

I try to get finished and face my day, but
My head feels dizzy and I can't get a thing done
"Maybe I should just make up excuses and stay home."
Oh come on, I know it won't work.
I just wanted to say something to break the silence
I know, I know, so please don't be mad at me

Whether I am happy or whether I am unhappy
Equally, Cruelly, the sun will always rise
I have enough trouble, living life each passing day
And you want more, but how can you expect that much of me?

Tell me, why do you keep everything hidden?
Don't you really just want to be loved?
And, which one of us is the one giving up?
Have you realized it yet?
If there's a time card for the life I live
Then I wonder what time mine really ends?
And who will pay me the salary, when this life ends?

Ah—

(Thank You)
I just want you to know how grateful I am
(Thank You)
I just want you to know how Thankful I am
(Thank you)
If only just for once, then that would be fine
From the very bottom of my heart I want to tell you how I feel so thank you!

Tell me, why does silence hide what you're feeling?
Don't you want somebody to be listening?
Look around don't you see, no one laughing?
Now won't you please talk?
No one can understand unless you speak up
Just thinking it will go on unheard
It's hopeless but after all we're only human, You, I, and the whole world...

Ah—
(Hello/How are you?)

Woooohooooo Finally got the English lyrics written! I hope that it's at least somewhat accurate o-o I based it off of some other English Translations I've seen that I thought seemed a little....hard to sing.

So hopefully this will be easy to sing and also be accurate! ^-^

I got around to singing the full version: [link]
