Lyrics & Translation
The world was so dark, I cried every night
Maybe it would be easier if I just disappeared completely
I was scared of everyone's gazes as they looked at me
The beautiful days felt so painful
Really hated that I wasn't loved
Even though Mom and Dad were watching me
My heart was pulling away in the opposite direction
Why, why, why, why?
The phrase 'time heals all' was true
With each passing day, I started to feel better
But if I feel too happy, it becomes scary again
Like I might lose the happiness I've gained
The beautiful memories hurt so much
No matter how much I suffered, I couldn't forget
Even though friends and everyone were watching me
I was drifting further away from the real me
But still, someday
I felt like I could even become the light
If I could overcome all the pain
I thought I could shine
I don't want to give up
Even though I had sleepless nights
If I could stand up again
Maybe you'll find me
Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah
No matter how much I worried
No matter how much I worried
No matter how much I wished, how much I pleaded
