In the middle of the intersection, mixed among the busy crowd
I'm the only one who seems to be drifting aimlessly
The popular songs never sing about me
Please, don't laugh at me from within that billboard screen
Today's another day of swallowing my feelings without voicing them
Filling my drafts up to the brim
Ah, and like that, I get through the night, thousands of times
They're for my sake, that's all, that's all they ever were
The words that just happened to overflow, spilling out of me as they searched for an exit
If they reach your heart and fill in its cracks even a little
Then although I'm just me, I'll scream that I'm right here
The song of a lost star
For some reason, people always ask about my distant future
Never bothering with the present me who stands before them
Please don't ignore the fact that I can't fit in with all that shines bright
And push suggestions of a brilliant future onto me
That speck of stardust flickering unreliably in the night sky,
Straying off as it hesitates
Ah, it's wandering about; that is me
I'll become myself, that's all, that's all I really can do
I can't pretend to be someone else, anyway
Why must these days that hurt so much be wrapped up nicely into the word "boring"?
Even though I stagger, I'm fighting my way through
The song of a lost star
They're for my sake, that's all, that's all they ever were
The words that were finally born as I shed tears
If somewhere out there, you're carrying a stinging heart like mine,
To that trembling you, I'll scream that I'm here too
The song of a lost star
