今日も机に向かって
真面目に教科書開いて
正しいことをたくさん知った
覚えるために忘れてゆく
ありのままの僕自身を
もう痛いのは嫌だから

こうして過ぎた一日を
お手本と照らし合わせて
曖昧な基準で答え合わせ
間違いの解答には
大きな赤い×を
歪な形のこの愛に

汚れた感情は全て
ゴミに出したはずなのに
朝には元通り
君を想ってる


僕が僕であるために
変わらなくてもいいこともあるんだ
僕が僕であるために
例え傷付けて傷付いたとしても


テストの名前の横には
大きな赤い○印
こんなの僕じゃないんだよ
伝えたい気持ち 胸の中
本当の自分 無くしたまま
褒めてくれたって嬉しくないんだ

少しは変われたけど
いつまでも未完成のままだ
こんな僕をこれが僕だと言えるように


僕が僕であるために
変わらなくてもいいこともあるんだ
僕が僕であるために
例え傷付けて傷付いても

僕が僕であるために
ずっと変わらなかったものがあるんだ
僕が僕であるために
傷を背負いながら行けるところまで
歩いてゆこう

"To be what I am" is how the original artist of the song translated the title "boku ga boku de aru tame ni", so I also used that translation throughout the song when that phrase was used even though it is not the most natural or clear way to phrase it. * This (and its corresponding repetition toward the end) was an ambiguous line in the song that I was unable to completely resolve. To go with the theme of the song, I decided to translate "tatoe kizutsukete" as a made-up compound verb.

Translated and transliterated by Aki-rain
