works I saw in my youth made me think things just came to be
straight from a single mind complete fully formed perfectly

I thought that I could do it by myself
admired those who had no one else
at least I thought that was how it had seemed
I couldn't see behind the screen

when people asked how things were in my life
all I could do was grit my teeth and lie
and say that things were going great
when the truth was I was stagnate

I'd fail alone when doing it myself
Lashed out so hard at people who could help
Push them away, solitary
but even still, you'd stand by me

Why did I push everyone else away
my words and deeds ensuring none stayed
I felt like I had no one to depend
even on you, my closest friends

Stuck treading water drowning in my pride
Feeling bitter every time that I tried
'til I realized I'm not happy
but I could see the faults in me

I don't have to do everything myself
There's no shame in having some extra help
I don't know where my life will lead
to find the way I want to be

and thankfully, you'll stand by me

【訳詞】
子供の頃　作者は作品を完全に完璧で作られたと私が思った

自分でも何か作りたかった
一人ぼっちのクリエイターに憧れた
そう思ったんだけど
本人の場合知らなかったのに

最近はどうと言われたら
歯を食いしばって
いいだよと嘘付いた
本当は淀んでた

一人で何もできなかった気がしてた
手伝える人に怒ってた
それらを拒否しまった
それでも君が隣に居た

なぜか他の人を断った
酷いな言葉と行為
誰も頼りないと思ってた
大切な友達まで

立泳ぎ　プライドに溺れった
何回失敗して苦くて
満足していないと気づいた
でもそれは私だけのせい

自分だけでやらなきゃことは何もない
友達からの頼りは恥がない
これからの人生がわからないけど

ありがたいことに君が隣に居る
