Lyrics and translation Tokyo Gal - Lasting hope

Lasting hope

心細いけど、恋愛やめて
自分と過ごして、見えたの
素直に泣けなって泣けないことや
人と比べて自分の良さに

気づかぬままで
他の誰かになろうとしてたり
何やってるんだろう

本物の友情じゃないとしても
手放す勇気がなくて
理想が崩されるたび、傷つく心を
癒す術を知らない

また振り回されて
そこになかったものが見えて
一人、肩を抱きしめて、ooh no

期待すれば失望し
No body′s perfect わかってるし
その中で大事に育んで支え合って
When you need me
I'll be there for you
When I need you
You′ll be there for me
そんなfriend ship 私のタイプ
でも優しさに甘えないで

人は変えられない
当たり前のこと知らずにもがいたよ
君のためだから
自分以上に相手へ尽くしたな

得られたものは経験
見守ってくれた my fam
あれだけできたなら 上等
次は自分のため 奮闘

期待すれば失望し
No body's perfect わかってるし
その中で大事に育んで支え合って
When you need me
I'll be there for you
When I need you
You′ll be there for me
そんなrelationship 欲しかった
でもそこにはなかった

Lasting hope

I'm so lonely, but I'm quitting love
I've been spending time with myself, and I've realized
That I'm being stubborn and holding back my tears
And I'm not appreciating my own good qualities

in comparison to others
I've been trying to be someone I'm not
What am I even doing?

Even if it's not a real friendship
I don't have the courage to let go
Every time my ideals are shattered, I get hurt
And I don't know how to heal my wounds

Once again, I've been let down
And I've seen what was missing
I hug myself and cry, ooh no

If I have expectations, I'll be disappointed
No body's perfect, I know
But in a relationship, we should nurture each other and support each other
When you need me
I'll be there for you
When I need you
You'll be there for me
That's the kind of friendship I want
But I won't take advantage of your kindness

You can't change people
I've struggled without realizing this obvious fact
All for your sake
I always put you before myself

All I gained was experience
My family watched over me
If I could do all that, it's enough
Next time, I'll fight for myself

If I have expectations, I'll be disappointed
No body's perfect, I know
But in a relationship, we should nurture each other and support each other
When you need me
I'll be there for you
When I need you
You'll be there for me
That's the kind of relationship I wanted
But it wasn't there
