Lyrics & Translation
To meet a new version of myself
The things I couldn't say I liked
The fact that I wasn't in your happiness
Being able to accept that
I cried alone in the bathtub
My face hurts, and I want to see you
How many times have I said "I love you"?
Yet why is it that no one is here beside me now?
How many times have I heard "I love you"?
Only loneliness remains in my heart
What does it mean to fall in love?
If you were crying alone
I feel like I should be by your side
I cried alone in bed
I can't love your voice, face, or heart
If I had been born in a different place
Would I have been a different me?
If I could be reborn
Would I no longer be alone?
How many times have I said I would come to see you?
Yet why is it that no one is here beside me now?
How many times have I heard "come see me"?
Only regret remains in my heart
If only on that day, in that moment
I could have voiced my selfishness
If I could cry my heart out in your arms
If I could say "we'll meet again, we'll meet again"
If I could say "we'll meet again"
No matter how much I chase, I can't catch up
Merry-go-round
Loving you, see, it hurts this much
I can even live loving that, I can think that much
I truly think of you from the bottom of my heart
