you don't have to say it | amaoto & hioto

a hushed japanese pop ballad about two men who don't need to say what they feel — the quiet company of someone who already understands. 言葉にしなくても伝わる想いを歌った、静かな日本語バラード。 lyrics: 何年経っても 変わらない笑い方 くだらない夜を いくつ重ねた 同じ窓辺で 同じ煙草に 火をつけるたび 歳月を見た グラスの底に 映る顔は 少し疲れた 大人になってた you don't have to say it I hear it in your hands you don't have to say it in how you fold your plans I'll read it in the way you laugh a half-finished goodbye you don't have to say it I'll keep the years between you don't have to say it 遠くへ行くと 聞かされた夜 うまく笑えた 自信はないけど 別れの言葉 探す代わりに 今までのこと 心でなぞる 椅子がひとつ 静かに余る その空白を 物語にする you don't have to say it I know you hate goodbyes you don't have to say it it trembles in your sighs I'll read it in the way you laugh and smooth your coat again you don't have to say it I'll stay inside this room you don't have to say it また会えるから (そうだな) きっと会えるから (ああ) 声が変わっても (変わっても) 想いは 残る the lantern dims but still keeps watch soft light on crowded days you don't have to say it I've heard it all along you don't have to say it it lives inside this song I'll read it in the way you laugh and fail to meet my eyes and when your train pulls out at dawn I'll stand and let it rise you don't have to say it I'll walk you in my mind you don't have to say it — © maotomusic | music for the space between feelings
