Lyrics:
I open my eyes in the darkness
When the sound of my beating heart feels unfamiliar,
I face you in the mirror
An afraid look, a long-pending question
Perhaps, than loving someone else,
it is more difficult to love myself
Let’s be honest and admit what we have to admit
that your standards are more strict when they are applied to you
The wide growth ring in your life
That is also a part of you, that is also you
So let’s forgive yourself now
Our life is too long to be given up
Trust me in the maze
Once the winter passes, the spring will come again
The stare of a cold night
To hide my miserable self,
I tossed and turned, but
Did I fall to be showered by those countless stars
I’m the only target aimed by those thousands of glittering arrows
You’ve shown me I have reasons
I should love myself
I answer with all my breath and all the path I’ve walked along
Yesterday’s me, today’s me, tomorrow’s me
(I’m learning how to love myself)
Without exception, altogether, they are all me
Perhaps there might not be the answer
Perhaps this might not be an answer
Even just to love myself,
I needed to have someone else’s permission
I’m still looking for myself again
But I don’t want to die anymore
Me, who was sad
Me, who was pained
Me, who will be more beautiful
Yeah, knowing the presence of such beauty
is the way to my love
is the most necessary thing that is most like me
The move that has to be made for me now
is the action that is for me
is the attitude that is for me
That is the happiness for me
I’ll show you what I got
I’m not afraid because that is my own existence
Love myself
From the start of the beginning
and until the finish of the ending,
there is only one answer
Why do you keep trying to hide under your mask,
when even the scars made by my own mistake make my constellations
You’ve shown me I have reasons
I should love myself
I answer with all my breath and all the path I’ve walked along
Inside me, there’s still
my clumsy self
You’ve shown me I have reasons
I should love myself
I answer with all my breath and all the path I’ve walked along
Yesterday’s me, today’s me, tomorrow’s me
(I’m learning how to love myself)
Without exception, altogether, they are all me
