Lyrics & Translation
But I spilled out
Only tearing at the edge
But you said it's okay as you are
Reconnect the scattered shards once more
And fixed them for me
The heart is a thin line
Things that seem to intersect but never truly do
That's why now, we lean into each other like this
I want to feel your heart
Always waiting for a new day to begin
Yearning for fleeting dreams
Today, you think of someone else while holding someone in your heart
You keep chasing the wishes you've held inside
Hoping that someday, your voice will reach me
If only I could become stronger, more deeply
Deep inside my heart, I've always wanted to change
Now, what can I do for you?
Touching feels like it could break
Your honest eyes, the loneliness seen behind them
The wrinkles in the clothes made by your trembling hands
Conveyed your screams
Always
Worried and struggling,
sometimes resisting the strength to fight back
You taught me this
The days we've shared our hearts, knowing light and shadow
Live on within my chest forever
No matter how many times I get hurt
The love I’ve continued to protect
May it someday surround you
