Banana
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.
