少しずつ痛みを増やし
想いを 見えなくした
木漏れ日のぬくもりのように
さりげない優しさにさえ
もぅずっと答えられなくて
たった1人で 愛を信じられなくて
本当は... そぅか... やっと... いま
感じる あなたの温かさで
伝えたい想い溢れ 心が溶けてゆく
ありがとうじゃ足りない位
この先はそう 明日を 笑顔で
素直な心になる
涙が溶かしてゆく 消えない過去も
単純だけど きっと大丈夫
どぅしょう 驚く程に
日常が鮮やかになる
想いは 空を見上げ
なにもかも解っているようで
なに1つ解ってなくて
たくさん困らせていたよね
何時間でも いつもそばにいてくれた
ずっと幸せな日々
本当に... そうだ... わたし... ねぇ
ごめんね あなたに甘えていた
聞き分けのない子供だ 心から思う
ありがとうじゃ足りないから
今度はそぅ ぎゅっと あなたを
素直な想いはいま
ゆっくりほどかれてゆく 繋がる未来
真剣な顔 ちょっと照れるな
変わらずあなたがいて
ぬくもりが優しくて 包まれる世界
大好きじゃ足りないから
これからもそぅ ずっと あなたと
満ちてく想いにいま
心が喜んでる 夢みた未来
わたしはもぅ きっと大丈夫
あなたとなら ずっと大丈夫
The lyrics of Mao's song "I'll Be There for You" express the singer's feelings of gratitude towards someone who has always been by her side. The opening lines describe how being dependent on someone can cause pain, just like a wound, but that person's warmth and tenderness can make one feel better. Mao then admits that she used to be unable to believe in love on her own and felt insignificant in her daily life. However, she has come to understand the value of someone who is always there for her, who understands her when no one else does.
The chorus of the song speaks of Mao's overflowing feelings towards this person. She says that saying "thank you" is not enough, and she wishes to convey her appreciation to this person through her emotions, which are slowly melting away. Mao admits that she used to be stubborn and cause troubles for this person but has now become more honest and open-minded. She believes that even her painful past can be melted away with the warmth of this person's love.
The bridge of the song suggests that, with this person by her side, Mao's life has become more vibrant, and she feels like she understands everything, but at the same time, she feels she understands nothing. Even on her worst days, this person stays with her, and she expresses a deep apology for always relying on them. In the final verse, Mao says that her feelings towards this person are not just love alone, but an all-encompassing emotion that cannot be expressed in mere words. She vows to continue loving them and hopes for a future where they are always connected, even if she sees only a blurred picture.
