I think I might
Try to give my life another shot
Still the future frightens me, so I stay shut inside
I’m so sorry for always being this way
Thank you mom and dad for bearing still with me
I gave up attending school a long time ago
The thought of conversation just gives me anxiety
Day in, day out, life goes on like this
Tomorrow, I’m sure I’ll be on my own as well
But you know, I think that I want to keep living
Because I hold you dear from the bottom of my heart
What is past, what is now, what lies in the future too
Somewhere there, deep inside, I love every part of life
I don’t need anyone to love me
Life’s just easier without the hope they’d hold for me
Having someone to compare to there
My garish faults shine all the more brazen
It’s okay, I can handle that much fine
When did I start wishing for
Something so mundane to be true?
But you know, I think that I want to keep living
Because I hold you dear from the bottom of my heart
What is past, what is now, what lies in the future too
Somewhere there, deep inside, I love every part of life
One day all of the stars in the sky will disappear
By that time, will I’ve learned how to live life properly?
Like always, the moon will still illuminate this place
The proof of my life here on this earth that we still share
When tomorrow comes, can I at last live properly?
From tomorrow on
