涙など見せない 強気なあなたを
そんなに悲しませた人は誰なの?
終りを告げた恋に すがるのはやめにして
ふりだしから また始めればいい
幸せになりたい気持ちがあるなら
明日を見つけることは とても簡単

少しやせたそのからだに似合う服を探して
街へ飛び出せばほら みんな振り返る
チャンスは何度でも 訪れてくれるはず
彼だけが 男じゃないことに気付いて

あなたの小さなmistake いつか想い出に変わる
大人への階段をひとつ上ったの
人生はあなたが思うほど悪くない
早く元気出して あの笑顔を見せて

La la la la…

Namida nado misenai tsuyoki na anata wo
Sonna ni kanashimaseta hito wa dare na no?
Owari wo tsugeta koi ni sugaru no wa yame ni shite
Furidashi kara mata hajimereba ii
Shiawase ni naritai kimochi ga aru nara
Ashita wo mitsukeru koto wa totemo kantan

Sukoshi yaseta sono karada ni niau fuku wo sagashite
Machi e tobidaseba hora minna furikaeru
Chansu wa nando demo otozurete kureru hazu
Kare dake ga otoko ja nai koto ni kizuite

Anata no chiisana mistake itsuka omoide ni kawaru
Otona e no kaidan wo hitotsu agatta no
Jinsei wa anata ga omou hodo warukunai
Hayaku genki dashite ano egao wo misete

La la la la...

Translation

 

You're a strong person who doesn't show tears
So who's the person who's made you this sad?
You need to stop clinging to a love that's announced its end
And start again from the beginning
If you feel that want to be happy
Then it's very easy to find tomorrow

You've lost a bit of weight, look for some clothes that suit your new body
When you step out into the street all heads will turn
Chances appear at any time
You need to realise that he's not the only guy

Someday your little mistake will be just a memory
You've just climbed one step higher on the stairway to adulthood
Life's not as bad as you think
Cheer up now, and show me that smile

La la la la...
