TOOSENBO

【とおせんぼ】

If I wait for you to come to me,
Erase the sounds of my breathing,
For the door to my heart has shut and locked up tight.

All these things I want to say to you
And things I know you want to say to me too
Fall deep into the darkness where they fade away.

I grow tired of hiding who I am behind a face that's not mine.
I desire to smile for real this time.
I want none of your love-- I've no desire for your wonders or your woes for me
So please don't think of me-- just let me be.

I won't let you get through to me.
All alone, I'm hiding away.
Living deep within a childish fantasy.

Turn away-- Please don't look at me.
Keep away and let go of me.
Won't you keep on smiling with those loving eyes of yours?
