[English]

You’re still shining for me

You’re always like a miracle

My heart is still the same

But my confident self

Is missing somewhere, I can’t see it well

Can I be a shelter for you

Sometimes I’m scared of myself

The feeling of responsibility is rushing

And I’m worried it might hurt you

When the shadows fade from the light of “you”

(Can’t see) It confuses me again

(Oh, it’s not what I am)

And you’re still smiling for me

(It’s you) Will I be able to keep you safe?

I’m afraid

Here I go again (no)

The darkness comes in my mind again

I stumble

And our dreams fade away

We have to get away from it

Before the darkness swallows us

Struggle for the win

Find the balance

I won’t let go of the light called “you”

I’m gonna win this fight

I can’t handle it, this weight on my shoulders

It scares me more as you are become more precious

When I’m covered in the shadows

My mind becomes unstable

The anxiety gets worse, Get away

You’re believing in me alone

Us two, it’s enough

We two are perfect

You and me, me and you

We’re already one

I’m afraid that words I’ve said might disappear like smoke

And you, holding on to it, might also disappear

What am I to you?

(I don’t know) I need affirmations

(So I won’t change)

To me, you are my everything

(Trust me) I won’t let you go until the end

Never let you go

Here I go again (no)

The darkness comes in my mind again

I stumble

And our dreams fade away

We have to get away from it

Before the darkness swallows us

Struggle for the win

Find the balance

I won’t let go of the light called “you”

I’m gonna win this fight

Just stay by my side

Even my wandering worries

They’re all for you

You’re surging like waves

Will I be able to carry you

Won't my insecurity

Make you leave from my side

I might look silly now

But because of you, now, I am

Here I go again (no)

The darkness comes in my mind again

I stumble

And our dreams fade away

We have to get away from it

Before the darkness swallows us

Struggle for the win

Find the balance

I won’t let go of the light called “you”

I’m gonna win this fight
