Banana

“Banana Juice” Lyrics: Yui Mikura Music: Etsu Takahashi A convenience store bag from yesterday Still asleep on my desk. I swallowed every word I wanted to say, And ran away again Behind my usual “I’m fine.” Maybe the night breeze felt a little gentle Because I was holding back tears. Please forgive me— I’m clumsy, I can’t even smile properly. Even the kindness you gave me, I couldn’t hold onto it the right way, Even though my real feelings were right here. An afternoon sinking into the shadows of the bus stop, I felt like I was the only one left behind. I’ve known the answer for a long time, I just kept looking away from it. Each time I said “I’m fine,” It got harder and harder To smile like I meant it. Please answer me— I’m a coward, I can’t even get angry properly. Even your gentle “see you” Was too hard for me to believe in. But the truth is, You were always right there beside me. I really did love you— I just couldn’t say it out loud. That banana juice you always drank— Now it’s part of my daily routine. Please forgive me— I’m clumsy, I can’t even smile properly. Even the kindness you gave me, I couldn’t hold onto it the right way, Even though my real feelings were right here.
