About this song

The instant I spot someone I don't know beside my former partner out in the city, my heart stops and my feelings surge all at once. A photo I can't erase, a forced smile in the mirror, a cold glass. The jealousy and pain of comparing when I don't want to compare collide with my attempts to act strong, rising and falling again and again. I won't let it end with me still sunk in it. Carrying the pain with me, I choose myself again today and step toward tomorrow morning.

Lyrics

Translation

Lying with my phone facedown
The quiet ceiling
A photo I could have deleted
My right-hand fingers, unable to touch it
Packing each day with nothing but plans
Just to tire myself out enough

The moment I get up in the morning
I smile awkwardly at the mirror
Though my face looks like a rough portrait
Today, I'm okay just as I am

ChorusI 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

A glimpse through the café window
Someone I don't know beside you
My heart stops completely
Even so, I take a sip
Morning returns to my cold throat
My forced smile is trembling

The glass is still cold
Time takes a small breath
The me from the nights I cried
I hold her close again, properly

ChorusI 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

A friend's words
That place I once dreamed of
I haven't lost everything
I remember, quietly
Love wasn't all there was
I knew there was more to me

I love the part of me that can't help comparing
May your happiness stay just as it is
It still hurts, but
The light is shining
I choose myself again today
I'll choose tomorrow's me, too

Tomorrow morning will be a little different
That's enough
