天秤～強がりな私×弱がりな君～
misono Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
傍にいられるだけでよかった
そこが君のいい所
私の好きな君だから
邪魔したくなかったのに
「私が1番じゃなくてもいいから」
って
でもいつの間にか
最後の喧嘩になるんなら
"もう泣かない"と
"続ける"努力した方が
辛さはマシだった?
「待っててほしい」のかわりに
「幸せになって」と...
本気でいってるの?
「迎えにいくから」
それさえあれば
信じて待っていられたのに
「今の僕じゃ寂しい想い
させてしまうから」
このまま変わらずにいれば?
もっといい女性になれば?
この恋の続きをしてくれる?
クリスマスも逢えず
誕生日プレゼント
何もなくても確かに愛されてたのに
いつからか君の言葉
受け止められない真実(の)と
信じたい嘘(の)と二つに別れ出した
「君以上に良い人いる」って
言われても
私より綺麗な人もいるけど
きっと君にも
私しかいないはずだもん
あんなに好きだったのに
"君の愛しかた"がわからなかった
「ダサイ男には
なりたくないから」と
かっこよくいたがってたけど
プライド捨てて『弱がりな君』
みせてくれた時こそ I miss you
"私だけの君"みたいで
嬉しくて安心できた
「順番なんてつけられない
同じくらい大事だから」
"あの頃の二人は"こう決めた
「サヨナラ」
"こんな時間"同じ時に笑い、
涙してた君が
隣にいてくんなきゃ意味がないから
"君だったら..."と重ねてしまってる
「幸せにする」って
言ったじゃない!
その程度の想い?
取り消すなら今だよ
「やっぱり」と戻ってきても
一年後じゃ遅いんだから
今までみたいに
いつものように
"強がりな私"だと
見抜いてほしかった。
The lyrics of "Tenbin~Tsuyogari na Watashi x Yowagari na Kimi~" by misono describe the tumultuous love story between two individuals. From the beginning, the singer is attracted to the hardworking partner and admires being able to stay by their side. However, things start to get complicated as the singer's insecure tendencies begin to surface. These tendencies caused them to hold back their own feelings and refrain from interfering with their partner's work. It wasn't until the end of the relationship that the singer realized they could have supported their partner more effectively. The chorus speaks of battling to maintain the relationship despite difficulty and the continuous small moments of pain.
The second verse implies the couple has split because the partner wants to be with someone else. The singer is hurt and feels as though their love was not enough. They remark that they felt loved in simpler times, but suddenly, they can't interpret the meaning behind their partner's words. The singer is left questioning whether their partner was serious about returning or not. The final lines show the singer's regret and yearning for the time when they felt confident and loved by their partner.
Overall, the song speaks to the complications within a relationship, including individual insecurities, miscommunication, and the battle to maintain a relationship despite small moments of pain. It is an emotional and relatable song that touches upon the difficulties of love.
