The moment I was born,
with a great shout, I cried
Faced with heartless teasing,
I stood, back to the sunset, and cried
As clouds brought in the end of an unfulfilled love,
together with that sky, I cried
At the weakness of people who can't protect others,
until night turned to dawn, I cried
Never faltering to rain, never faltering to wind
That's the kind of "human" I wanted to be...
Swelling a deep red, what did these eyes see?
You, standing alone
And gently, it dropped,
a tear,
just one
Since I've come crying all the way to you,
don't cry, just believe in me
Your sadnesses, all of them...
It's alright if I drain them away
Perhaps it's through God's punishing game
that these tears were given birth?
If so, it's so terribly ironic,
since the world made me a crybaby.
Surely.
Burdening people with a grave crime,
I raised my voice and cried
Betrayed by what I believed in,
I looked up to the sky and cried
Lost in the labyrinth of what is right,
somewhere in here, I've cried
Even knowing the fullness of eternal farewell,
I still meaninglessly cried
Since I've come crying all the way to you,
don't cry, just believe in me
Your sadnesses, all of them...
It would've been nice to catch them, but...
If your sadnesses are as numerous as the stars,
then it's alright to cry over so many
So that you could carry a smile,
the world made me a crybaby.
Crossing the date line of sadness,
flowing together at the horizon
Surely, it must be time for your tears to dry
I know I'm bluffing, and I'm really just weak
My unconcealed tears
make for a weak heart
It's alright if I hide them, drain them away, so...
Since I've come crying all the way to you,
don't cry, just believe in me
All the sadnesses throughout the world...
It would've been nice to catch them, but...
Won't you take half of your tears
and share them with me?
So that I could cry together with you,
the world made me a crybaby.
Since I've come crying all the way to you,
don't cry, just believe in me
No matter what, in depressing times,
it's alright to cry together with me
For a bridge between feelings to be built...
Might that be what tears are there for?
So that I could be together with you,
the world made me a crybaby.
Surely.
Surely,
that is
the reason.
Crybaby
