A week since we broke up
A box arrived from youI wanted to end things face to face
Even if I cried and couldn't say a thing
the goodbye you had decided on
I didn't want to take it on alone
I wanted to end things face to face
It's not that I want you back
If we were going to end it, at least
I wanted you to hear my voice, too
Kurabechau Asa
I love the part of me that can't help comparing
Lying with my phone facedown
The quiet ceilingI love the part of me that can't help comparing
May your happiness stay just as it is
I'll take the pain with me
Just like this, without looking back
I choose myself again today
I give a small nod
Suki no Mama
Not "I loved you," but
I wake up
and walk to the kitchenNot "I loved you," but
still loving you now
Even after goodbye
the room fills up with you
If I could say "I loved you,"
I could move on
but still in love
I greet the morning
Arigatou wo Kaze ni
Letting a thank-you ride the wind
The morning I changed into short sleeves
Long sleeves sleep in the closetLetting a thank-you ride the wind
I walk the short-sleeve town
I haven't forgotten
but I'm not tangled up
The season when we were two
I gently take it along with me
Narabenai Futari
Still the two who can't line up
The walk home with you
Just a littleStill the two who can't line up
tonight again I watch you
If you were a cold person
I could have given up
but you're kind, so still
I find myself wishing
I'll keep loving you like this
Denki wo Kesu Mae ni
Before I turn off the light
At the edge of the bed
I turn my phone face downBefore I turn off the light
to the ceiling, just one word
I murmur "I love you"
no one can hear
Before I turn off the light
to tomorrow's me
I quietly hand over
a single drop of true feeling
Shinzou Urusasugi Mondai
This love is so loud
At the cafe, they asked me
"Got someone you like?"This love is so loud
my heart makes a fuss
no use hiding it
thinking of that person
This love is so loud
before the words come
my heart answers first
it's not a lie
Kimiiro Mooningu
A you-colored morning
Sunday morning
the light is softA you-colored morning
even alone in my room
somehow I sense you somewhere
Everything I choose connects to you
This feeling, a name
I don't have to give it yet
Little by little it turns your color
Kimi to no Wakare de Ushinatta Mono
Talk of you scares me
What everyone's talking about
I'm scared to hear itTalk of you scares me
"They got a girlfriend" or
"In a new place
they're working hard" or
if I heard that
I couldn't stay calm
Though my friends did nothing wrong
little by little we drift apart
Henshin wa Ashita no Watashi ni Makaseru
When morning comes
Let's just sleep
I'll leave it to tomorrow's meWhen morning comes
I should be a little calmer
Night thoughts run too deep
What I can do tonight
is sleep well
It's not putting it off
just protecting myself
Shinya no Konbini Baito
At the register, just a little
The late-night convenience store shift
I'm sleepy, there are few customersAt the register, just a little
our eyes meet
Holding a study book—
I've seen him like that
Is it for exams, or a license
He's working hard, I think
Somehow I want to root for him
"Thank you, as always"
that voice cracks a little
Kousui ga Yobu Namida
It's been months already
Suddenly that scent
brings back that nightIt's been months already
yet one scent shakes me
Even thinking I'd forgotten
my body remembers
Each time I smell this perfume
I'm pulled back into the past
Koi to Okashi no Yuwaku
I'm allowed to buy my favorite sweets
I'm allowed to buy my favorite sweets
that's my right as someone in loveI'm allowed to buy my favorite sweets
that's my right as someone in love
a reward for a day I worked hard at love
No need for any guilt
Tsuki Ichi Tatta Ni Jikan no Shiawase
The moment our eyes meet in the mirror
I make the next appointment
because I can see him againThe moment our eyes meet in the mirror
fingertips that touch at the shampoo basin
What hairstyle should I go with
"It suits you"—from him
that's what I want to hear
so I picture it over and over
Maybe it's a love that won't come true
but just having the joy of a haircut
two hours of happiness once a month
Tanjoubi Omedetou wo Okurenai
"Happy birthday"
Today is your birthday
On the calendar"Happy birthday"
unable to say it
time slips by
If I send it
you'll think I'm clinging
If I don't send it
you'll think I'm cold
but really
how you'll take it
doesn't matter at all
Your happiness, simply
is all I want to wish for
Kabe Hitotsubun no Kimi
In the elevator
Next door, there's you
My apartment where I live aloneIn the elevator
by chance our eyes met
you gave a light nod
Kinder-looking than I'd imagined
somehow it made me glad
Once I'd seen your face
even the presence of the sounds felt warm
You, just one wall away
it felt like you were no longer a stranger
Furareta Tsugi no Hi Tomodachi to
I wavered, should I cancel
Yesterday I confessed
and got turned downI wavered, should I cancel
but if I stayed alone
I felt I'd sink even lower
I pulled my heavy body up
took a shower
picked out clothes
my cried-out eyes
I covered up with makeup
Kimi no Kuchiguse ga Utsutta
Your pet phrases rubbed off on me
I suddenly noticed
your wordsYour pet phrases rubbed off on me
I want to erase them, but can't
Even when I try to change my words
before I know it they come out again
Even though you're gone
fragments of you remain
Whether that's dear
or sad, I no longer know
Kidoku de Haneta Shinzou
The "read" mark appeared
The "read" mark appeared
just that makes me happyThe "read" mark appeared
just that makes me happy
my words
reached you
Even the time waiting for a reply
makes my heart race
The "read" mark appeared
today's a good day
Yuki no Yohou ni Tokimeku Riyuu
Snow, fall
I looked at the weather forecast
a snow markSnow, fall
tomorrow morning
I want a chance
I want a reason to speak to you
Fluttering at a snow forecast
a feeling like this, my first
When there's someone you love
you even want to make the weather your ally
Saishuu Densha de Kaeru Kinyoubi
Into the dark room, "I'm home"
A night I spent laughing with friends
it should have been fun, butInto the dark room, "I'm home"
even with the light on, my heart is dark
I realize I'm lonely
The more fun the night
the gap in my chest
stays unfilled
Each time the drunkenness wears off
I remember you
Maegami Kirisugita Getsuyoubi
Bangs grow back
I messed up
but it'll work outBangs grow back
in a week they settle in
Even a mistake can be recovered
love grows back properly too
Even if I get turned down
a day to laugh will come
Today's failure
is a setup for next week
Kenkyushitsu no Coffee no Nioi
There's the scent of coffee
The scent drifts and sways
as the afternoon stays quietThere's the scent of coffee
I've come to love this room
Just with you here
my breath softens
The countdown
has already begun
a little left until graduation
at this distance as it is
just a little longer
Futari de Totta Shashin no Yukue
Still unable to decide
Still unable to decide
I find myself looking back againStill unable to decide
I find myself looking back again
My swiping finger
just won't stop
Over the delete button
my finger freezes
The photos we took together
have nowhere to go
Hitori Karaoke de Naku Renshuu
Practicing crying with everything I've got
I closed the door
Here, I can cryPracticing crying with everything I've got
It's okay if my voice trembles
It's okay if I go off-key
The more I cry, the more I can smile
Something deep in my chest comes undone
My own little hideaway
Here at solo karaoke
I get myself back
Onaji Densha no Sanryoume
The third car of the same train
The view flows past the window
and I noticed youThe third car of the same train
Just having you there
warms my chest
I don't even want to know your name
This distance is just right
With every sway, our shoulders draw near
never touching
and today I'm here again
Kaeshita Te ga Samui
The hand that gave it back is cold
The cold wind
lingers on my fingersThe hand that gave it back is cold
Night falls so quickly
Only the place that held warmth
is left empty
Love still remains
but there's no going back
The hand that gave it back is cold
and it wakes me
Rippu de Kimeru Sengen
A declaration I make with lipstick
A declaration I make with lipstick
turning scary into sweetA declaration I make with lipstick
turning scary into sweet
Today I'll be the first to smile
Hesitation fades away with color
A declaration I make with lipstick
I breathe right in front of you
The feelings I couldn't say
I'll turn into today's voice
Beru Yori Chiisai Suki
A love smaller than a bell
The evening breeze
the bell swaysA love smaller than a bell
yet it won't stop
To the back I'm chasing
my words can't catch up
If I touch it, it might ring
the bell deep in my chest
A love smaller than a bell
until it reaches you
Aikagi Dake no Shizukesa
Only the sound of the key
The sound of the key
echoes faintlyOnly the sound of the key
remains here
The end has the shape of a key
resting in my palm
It isn't warm
and no tears fall
The stillness of just a spare key
Tonari no Seki wa Uchuu
So close yet so far, it's unfair
It's my usual seat, and yet
only the space beside you is weightlessSo close yet so far, it's unfair
The seat beside me is outer space
I want to talk to you but I can't
The seat beside me is outer space
Only my fingertips might reach
but if I touch, it might break
The instant you smile
my time stands still
Misoushin no Shitagaki
The words I never sent
The notification sound I thought I'd deleted
rings deep in my earsThe words I never sent
won't come undone deep in my throat
The unsent draft
I can't erase it, can't erase it
I thought I'd decided
yet I can't close the page
The lingering scent of love
still calls to me
Koi no Junbi Undo
I tell myself it's okay
I take a breath
straighten my backI tell myself it's okay
I become my own ally
Warming up for love
Even if I fail once
if I can smile, then it's all OK
It's not over yet
The me of today
is the cutest of all
Basutei de Dake Tsuyoki
Bold only at the bus stop
Bold only at the bus stop
perfectly fine in front of youBold only at the bus stop
perfectly fine in front of you
The closer I get, the more timid
but at least I won't look away
Until the next bus comes
I warm up the word "I like you"
I can't say it yet I want to
my heart is so loud
Katen Goshi no Sayonara
A goodbye through the curtain
The shadow of the curtain sways
the ticking of the clock hurtsA goodbye through the curtain
A goodbye through the curtain
only the light moves forward
What hurts more than goodbye is the me who kept hoping
For as much as I loved
I can't be kind
Inside me, you still ring
Hiiru no Oto de Mou Ippo
With the sound of my heels, one more step
With the sound of my heels, one more step
one more stepWith the sound of my heels, one more step
one more step
A high five to the me in the mirror
For every tear, the future grows cuter
With the sound of my heels, one more step
smile and move forward
Shiori ni Kakushita Kodou
A heartbeat hidden in a bookmark
In the corner of a page, I breathe
your footsteps are closeA heartbeat hidden in a bookmark
leaps when you're near
The distance where I can't touch you is the hottest of all
A heartbeat hidden in a bookmark
still a secret today
The more I fall, the kinder I grow
Uwamuki Repeat
Looking-up repeat
Looking-up repeat
my heart can still runLooking-up repeat
my heart can still run
The me of today is my best ally
Even the traces of tears are a charm
Before it reaches you
I'll make it reach me
Playing "it's okay,"
I become a playlist
Looking-up repeat
Kidoku no Mama Nagu Yoru
A night that stills, still left on "read"
Only the sound of rain
remains in the roomA night that stills, still left on "read"
my chest quietly cracks
Loving you enough to cry is the proof
What I can't erase
isn't the memories
but my own lingering attachment
A night that stills, still left on "read"
Yohaku Story
In the margins of my story
In the after-school hallway
I search only for the sound of your stepsIn the margins of my story
love keeps gathering
The distance of pretending not to notice
is sweet again today
My love is still a secret, still glowing
Even left unsaid
I turn toward you
My heartbeat
becomes the answer
Sameta Yasashisa no Okibasho
A kindness left cold
Alone in the kitchen late at night
a mug with no steamA kindness left cold
it hurts each time I touch it
Goodbye isn't weakness, it protects my tomorrow
A kindness left cold
even so, I'll hold it and walk
Suki no Senaka o Osu Suicchi
The you in love is the lead
The you in love is the lead
The you in love is the leadThe you in love is the lead
The you in love is the lead
The you in love is the lead
Even lost, you can run
A small step is the right answer
Applaud the smile you have right now
Toumei na Aizu no Renshuu
I'm sending a transparent signal
The profile reflected in the window
my fingertips trembleI'm sending a transparent signal
sending it across a distance it can't cross
It's fine if you don't notice
Even if I can't say "I like you," today I'm still in love
Your name rings inside my chest
I'm sending a transparent signal
