Artist: Janne Da Arc
Title: Kokoro no Yukue (The Whereabouts of the Heart)
Words: Yasu
Music: You

even were I to just decay here right before your eyes
no one would notice that I even existed
I'm not afraid of disappearing or dying
I'm afraid that no one would even notice.

in the cold darkness, its so painful I can't move
why? why is it? am I the only one?
the faint light shines in from some distant place
notice these outstretched, trembling hands...

one day I will once again return to the light
but it's so far away, for now all I can do is stare upwards
It doesn't matter who, somebody,
please notice the voice of my heart and respond
that's all it would take to save my soul from the dark...

a life of contentment? love and peace? I can''t allow it
the simple joys of life, I can't allow it.

its so bright I can't see, the world of shadows,
so envious of those that live in the light, I curse them...

one day I will once again return to the light
lead me, give me a bit of your happiness
it doesn't matter who, somebody
love me, please love me, even just once
if you would, my spirit could return to heaven...
