[English]

I like having my hair down

Hate it, it's not fair

I don't need to understand

Get out of here

I'm losing my mind, los-ing my mind I'm losing my mind, yeah

Longing for the model's look, such a waste of time

Use my good points and fly

I'm losing my mind, los-ing my mind

My ideals get twisted

This is reality

Peeking into the mirror

Who am I really?

So what are you waiting for?

Here we go

See you later, my hair

My past self, go away

Make it short

For new possibilities

With these scissors

I'm gonna get a haircut, yeah, yeah, gonna get a haircut

I'm gonna get a haircut, yeah, yeah, gonna get a haircut

Cut, cut, cut, cut...

Music and fashion, the times keep changing

Hahaha

I'm always pretty

I'm losing my mind, los-ing my mind

My feelings get twisted

Honestly, this is me

Tell me, mirror

Goodbye to the person I was yesterday

So what are you waiting for?

Here we go

See you later, my hair

Past me, go away

Make it short

For new possibilities

With these scissors

I'm gonna get a haircut, yeah, yeah, gonna get a haircut

I'm gonna get a haircut...

I'm gonna cut my hair...

Gonna get a haircut...

Cutting my hair...

Here we go

Transforming myself...

[Japanese]

I like loose hair

嫌いな not fair

理解なんていらない
