[lyrics] I'm Here - Koike Teppei

[dash_ignition]

So, since I've been subbing Ohitorisama, I decided to check out some of Teppei's music. I've heard some WaT music, but not really many Teppei solos. My friend, aebi, is a huuuuge Teppei fan and suggested "I'm Here", which is from his album entitled Jack in the Box (for which the concept is supposedly that it's a "surprise" what's in the box because it's so different from his usual style of music)

Anyways, without further ado :D

Kanji

電話の向こうで　深いため息をつく
君の悲しみを　半分こできりゃいいな

たくさん　たくさん愛を知って
きっとその分傷ついて
だけど　ずっと最後まで
大事なモノ　守り続けた　君は強いね

ねえ　元気出してなんて言わないから
まっすぐなその心　失くさないでいて
こんな時くらい　泣いてもいいんだよ
いつだって　強がって　涙飲み込んじゃう君だから

電話越しの声　切なく胸に響く
どうして想いは　すれ違ってくのかな

一人ぼっちだよなんて
さみしい事を言わないで
その手伸ばしたら
そっと触れる温もり
そうさ君は一人じゃないよ

ねえ　元気出してなんて言わないから
真っ白なあの笑顔　忘れないでいて
ありきたりだけど　夜は明けてくから
いつだって　そうやって
今日は明日(あした)へと向かってる

僕はここに居るよ
こうやって話したことも　全部
いつか想い出に変えられる日が来るまで

ねえ　元気出してなんて言わないから
まっすぐなその心　失くさないでいて
こんな時くらい　泣いてもいいんだよ
いつだって　強がって
涙飲み込んじゃう
ねえ　元気出してなんて言わないから
真っ白なあの笑顔　忘れないでいて
いつだって

English Translation

I hear your heavy sigh from the other side of the phone
And I wish I could cut all of your sadness and sorrow in half

You experienced so many loves
Every time, you must have been wounded
But no matter what, you'd keep protecting everything special to you
You're so strong

I'm not telling you to stay brave or anything,
so don't try to get rid of your honest heart
At the very least at times like this, it's okay to cry
'Cause you're always acting tough and gulping back your tears

Over the phone, your voice echoes painfully in my chest
I wonder why our feelings seem to simply pass by each other?

Don't say sad things like, "I'm all alone"
If you just reach out your hand, you'll feel a gentle warmth
That's right; you're not alone

I'm not telling you to stay brave or anything,
so don't forget that pure-white face
It's only normal, but the night will break dawn,
No matter when, it's always that way
Today always faces towards tomorrow

I'm right here
Just like this, we can talk about anything
Until the day that everything can turn into simple memories comes

I'm not telling you to stay brave or anything,
so don't try to get rid of your honest heart
At the very least at times like this, it's okay to cry
Always acting tough and gulping back your tears
I'm not telling you to stay brave or anything,
so don't forget that pure-white face
No matter when
