Lyrics & Translation
Or is it that I’ve given my life to a fate I've been cursed with
Better to repent early and find salvation
There’s no anger in my heart
Had I known effort was useless, there’d be no way forward
Why not just reject myself, turn into a pile of mud—just fine
I’m not living very well, but I will keep on living
Waiting to find a new lover—there will be a cure for me
Right now, I’m trying hard to look like someone talented
Don’t show weakness casually in front of others
Remember there’s still a vow to be a decent person
There’s no point calling on relatives and friends to help me heal
Come be a witness to this child’s love story
Still worried about a lifetime of it
Holding on so exhaustedly, but still persisting
Tears welling up, yet I keep smiling
Next year I’ll be stronger, ready to start again
It's never too late to cry
I’m not living very well, but I will keep on living
Waiting to find a new lover—there will be a cure for me
Right now, I’m trying hard to look like someone talented
Don’t show weakness casually in front of others
Remember there’s still a vow to be a decent person
Ho-oh, ho-oh-oh
This heartbreak shouldn’t be called—sooner or later, it’ll break apart
From time to time, I count my mistakes, hitting my wounds again and again
I can’t get past it, I want to change so I can move on
Even if I’m down, I’ll endure
I’m not living very well, but I will keep on living
Waiting to find a new lover—there will be a cure for me
Right now, I’m trying hard to look like someone talented
Don’t show weakness casually in front of others
Even the deepest wounds won’t leave the stage, only then can I finally smile
I may take some pain, but I will keep living
I must love myself well, as a remedy for self-rescue
Trust that someone like me is worth believing in
The previous love is like a chess move—one wrong step
Have confidence in facing future vows
