Lyrics and translation JASMINE - MY SINGLE MOTHER

MY SINGLE MOTHER

強い子ね 優しい子ねって
言われて生きてきた
そんな事ない 怖いのに
私が間違ってるのかな
わかって欲しくて 自分傷つけ
あなたが泣いてる
心がふたてに別れる
周りは同情してる
どちらか選べない私は
手を振り払って逃げた
足りないのに満たしてくれないね
音立てて壊れる 目に見えないはずなのに
戻せずに 進めずに ただこの場所に居座って
迎えに来てくれたのはあなたでした
寝る時間も 遊ぶ自由も
無くして働いて
あなたは言う Make your dreams come true
「一人で生きてくからね」って家を出る私の背中で
あなたは泣いてる
大丈夫 きっと叶える
あなたが信じてくれる
たった一つ 私にできる事をあなたがくれた
足りない時満たしてあげたい
この歌で伝える 目に見えないものだから
簡単じゃない道のりも 優しい笑顔に変えて
守り続けてくれたのはあなたでした
Oh 振り向けばいつもそこに居た
強がって笑ってる時も
「何かあったの？」ってあなたは聞く
本当に苦しい時は あなたの声聞くだけで
I'm alright あなたが世界でたった一つ帰る場所
足りない時満たしてくれたね
割れかけた心に 注ぎ続けてくれたんだ
気づかずに 知らぬ間に あなたが居なくなる前に
ありがとう ごめんね
それが言いたかったんだ

MY SINGLE MOTHER

Darling, you're so strong, so kind
That's what they've always told you
But the truth is, you're scared
Am I just a terrible person?
I hurt myself because I wanted you to understand
And now you're crying
My heart is torn in two
Everyone is pitying me
But I can't choose between them
I shook off your hand and ran away
You're never there for me when I need you
I can hear myself breaking, even though it's invisible
I can't go back, I can't move forward, I'm just stuck
But then, you came to get me
You worked so hard, sacrificing your own time and freedom,
To provide for me
And you always said, "Make your dreams come true."
"I can live on my own." That's what I said as I left home, and
You were crying
It'll be alright. I'll make your dream come true,
Because you believe in me
You gave me the one thing I could do
When I'm feeling down, I want to be there for you
With this song, I'm trying to tell you
Even though it's something you can't see
For all the difficult times, I'll be there with a smile
Oh, you've always been there for me
Even when I'm faking a smile
"Is something wrong?" you ask
When I'm really down, just hearing your voice
I'm alright. You're my one true home in the world
You've always been there for me when I needed you
When my heart was broken, you were the one who put it back together
I didn't realize it, but before you know it, you'll be gone
Thank you, I'm sorry
That's all I wanted to say
