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
Lyrics (Japanese)
スマホを伏せて横たわる
静かな天井
消してもよかった写真を
触れない右手の指
予定だけ詰めて毎日
十分疲れるように
朝起き上がる瞬間
鏡にぎこちなく笑う
似顔絵みたい顔だけど
今日の私はこれでいい
Chorus比べちゃう私も好き
あなたの幸せそのままで
痛みを連れていくよ
そのまま振り向かずに
今日の私を選び直す
小さくうなずくよ
カフェの窓にちらり
あなたの隣知らない人
心がぴたっと止まる
それでも一口飲む
冷たいのどに朝が戻る
作り笑顔が揺れてる
グラスは冷たいまま
時間が少し息する
泣いた夜の私を
ちゃんと抱きしめ直す
Chorus比べちゃう私も好き
あなたの幸せそのままで
痛みを連れていくよ
そのまま振り向かずに
今日の私を選び直す
小さくうなずくよ
友達の言葉
夢だったあの場所
全部失くしてない
そっと思い出す
恋だけが全部じゃ
なかった私ね
比べちゃう私も好き
あなたの幸せそのままで
まだ痛いけれど
光は差してる
今日の私を選び直す
明日の私も選ぶよ
明日の朝が少し違う
それで十分だよ
