冷めた優しさの置き場所

Sameta Yasashisa no Okibasho

Liner Notes

A heartbreak song that pierces, in close-up hushed tones, the afterglow of a kindness that has gone cold. Wrapped in the stillness of night and the temperature of a room where you're alone, it gently embraces "goodbye" with words that refuse to make it a weakness.

Lyrics (Japanese)

深夜のキッチンに一人 湯気のないマグカップ 名前を言わないまま 泣き方だけ覚えた 優しさが残るほど 戻れないって分かる 冷めたままの優しさ 触れるたびに痛いよ さよならは弱さじゃない 私の明日を守る 冷めたままの優しさ それでも抱いて歩く プレイリストの隙間で 同じ曲が流れた 消したはずのメロディが 心の端を叩く 好きだった事実だけ 静かに置いていく 冷めたままの優しさ 今はもう追いかけない さよならは弱さじゃない 私の明日を守る 泣き終えた呼吸で 少しだけ軽くなる あなたの幸せを祈るのは まだ早いって知ってる でも私の世界には 私の光を残す 冷めたままの優しさ 痛みさえも愛せた さよならは弱さじゃない 私の明日を守る 最後に言うね ありがとうを胸で閉じる

Translation

Alone in the kitchen late at night a mug with no steam Without ever saying the name I only learned how to cry The more the kindness lingers the more I know there's no going back A kindness left cold it hurts each time I touch it Goodbye isn't weakness, it protects my tomorrow A kindness left cold even so, I'll hold it and walk In a gap in my playlist the same song played A melody I thought I'd deleted taps at the edge of my heart Only the fact that I loved you I quietly leave behind A kindness left cold now I won't chase it anymore Goodbye isn't weakness, it protects my tomorrow With a breath after I've finished crying I grow a little lighter To pray for your happiness I know it's still too soon but in my own world I'll keep my own light A kindness left cold I could even love the pain Goodbye isn't weakness, it protects my tomorrow Let me say it at the end I close a thank you in my chest
