Lyrics & Translation
It's okay not to smile right now
You've hidden it somewhere away
Give me your sadness
You don't want me to see it
So you tucked it into the back drawer
Even that girl who went separate ways
Kept it a secret until the very end
What remains here
Fragments of pain, fragile tears
Picking them up one by one
I've woven them together
With your pieces
I'm being built up
It's okay to cry because I'm gathering them up
Give me your sadness
It's okay not to smile now
You've hidden it somewhere away
Give me your sadness
