ため息をつく事ばかり
毎日がもう疲れてた
なんで私だけって
そう思ってた
君に出会うまで
わからなかったけど

周りを見渡せば近くで

がんばる人の姿
自分の中でとまってた
何かがまた動き出した

教えてくれたその瞳が
忘れかけてた
大切なものを
あなたがくれた優しさを抱いて
今度は私がMake You Smile

何も言わずに支えてた
同じ時間を過ごしてた
余裕がなくて
見えてなかった
気づけなかった
人のせいにして

それでも
君は変わらぬまま
いつでも笑ってくれた
人を思いやる気持ち
どこかに閉じ込めてたけど

教えてくれたその瞳が
忘れかけてた
大切なものを
あなたがくれた優しさを抱いて
今度は私がMake You Smile

一緒に笑いあう日も
一緒に流す涙も
心の底から
嘘じゃないって言える
想いは伝わるから

教えてくれたその瞳が
忘れかけてた
大切なものを

あなたがくれた優しさを抱いて
I'll Make You Smile

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ai's song "大切なもの" ("Important Things") describe the singer's feelings of fatigue and despair before meeting someone who taught her the true importance of things. She used to sigh all the time, feeling tired of everything that happened in her daily life and asking herself why she was the only one going through it. However, when she looked around, she saw people who were fighting and struggling nearby, and that motivated her to start moving again. It was not until she met this person that she understood the lesson they had to teach her. Their presence and kindness helped her realize what truly mattered and reminded her of the important things she had almost forgotten: the value of empathy, support, and mutual respect.

The song's main message is about the importance of recognizing and cherishing the people and things that matter to us. The person who appears in the lyrics represents an inspiration and guide that helped the singer overcome her negative feelings and regain her perspective on life. Through their encouraging and supportive presence, they were able to make her smile again and be grateful for the things that she might have taken for granted. The song emphasizes the power of kindness, love, and shared experiences, no matter how small they might seem at first.
