Liner Notes

The morning after the breakup. I wake up and walk to the dark kitchen. A glass of water slides down my throat. Something that won't dry stays in my chest. And yet the morning searches for you beside me. There's still a space here made for two. Unable to put it in the past tense as "I loved you," the room fills up with you. On the walk home after laughing with friends, no voice comes out once I'm alone. A night when I don't want to open the door to my room. The fingers that decided "I won't message anymore" open the screen again. If I could have come to hate you I'd have slept, but your voice still won't let me. The voice saying "I love you" grows faint and cracks, blurring right here. To be glad for your happiness, I'm still too lonely. Just for today, it's okay to cry, right? Still in love, I stay in this morning.

Lyrics (Japanese)

目が覚めて キッチンまで歩く コップの水 喉をとおる かわかない なにかが 胸にのこる さよならは ちゃんと ふたりで えらんだ それなのに 朝が あなたを さがす ふたりぶんの 空間が ある 好きだった じゃなくて 好きのまま でいる さよならのあとも 部屋が あなたで みちる 好きだった って言えたら おわれるのに 好きのままで 朝を むかえる 友達と あって へいきな顔して 笑ったあとで 帰り道が おもい ひとりになると 声も でない 部屋のドアを あけたくない もう連絡しない そう決めた指が また画面を ひらく よわい私 好きだった じゃなくて 好きのまま でいる おなじ歌が ちがう言葉で きこえる 忘れたいんじゃない 覚えていたい 好きのままは わるいことじゃ ないよね きらいに なれたら 眠れたのに あなたの声が まだ眠らせない 好き って言う声が 小さく かすれて ここで にじむ 好きだったと 言えないまま 好きのままで 朝を むかえる あなたの幸せを よろこぶには 私はまだ さみしすぎて 今日だけは 泣いていいよね 好きのままで この朝に いる

Translation

I wake up and walk to the kitchen A glass of water slides down my throat Something that won't dry stays in my chest We chose the goodbye properly, the two of us And yet the morning goes looking for you There's still a space here made for two Not "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 I meet my friends and wear a calm face Then after the laughter the walk home feels heavy When I'm alone no voice comes out I don't want to open the door to my room "I won't message you anymore" the fingers that decided that open the screen again Weak little me Not "I loved you," but still loving you now The same song sounds in different words It's not that I want to forget I want to remember Still loving you that's not a bad thing, right? If I could come to hate you I could have slept but your voice still won't let me sleep The voice saying "I love you" grows faint and cracks and blurs right here Unable to say "I loved you" still in love I greet the morning To be glad for your happiness I'm still too lonely Just for today it's okay to cry, right? Still in love I'm here in this morning
