"Hey, do you know?
My friend's daughter has been accepted at a famous college!"
"Hey, do you know?
My friend's son just got a scholarship!"

"Hey, do you know?
Your cousin is just graduated with perfect GPA!"
"Hey, do you know?
Your childhood friend works in a famous company!"

Yes, I know
I'm not a perfect daughter
I fully know
I can't make you proud

On the eyes of my beloved
There is a closed door
Even if I try to open it
I can't reach it

Honesty
Even though it hurts
Please tell it to me
I won't regret it

I don't want pretty lies
I know your "I'm okay"
I'm scared of awful truth
But my heart won't be deceived

Honesty
Is such a lonely word
I want to see the real you
Not your fake smile

November 30th
Another end of month
Only one month left
Till the end of year

Am I a better person since last month?
Am I getting worse?

I.........

Your eyes
As black as the night sky
Completely consumed
By your search of certainty

In this crowded world
Full of uncertainty
Please let me hear
Your name...

There is only one certain thing
On my mind
I want to be with you
Till the end of time

If you are ever scared
Just call my name
I'll be there
Holding you till you feel better

I want to protect you
Whatever is the cost
One day, we will find
A place that belongs just to us.

I loved Japanese songs
Six years ago, when I started learning Japanese
I was overjoyed when I understood ONE word
Telling myself "I did it"

But now, when reading lyrics
I understand everything but one word
I tell myself 'I'm an idiot"
I studied 6 years for nothing

What is the standard for "I did it"?
Why does it feel so hard?
What is satisfaction?
Why does it seem nonexistent?
What is the reward for confidence?
Why does it feel like nothing?

Even though this farewell
Was solely my decision
It's easy to cry
They are not tears of sadness

Like a bird
That strays away from its flock
I don't know
When will I go tomorrow

Like a bird
With freedom and solitude
I shall fly
With my own wings

I shall fly
Towards the blue sky
To my future
Without forgetting my past.

Do you know who supports you today?
It's yourself from yesterday
No matter how far you've come
You're still mid-journey

Every past is becoming a trace
Pain, sadness, happiness
You bring them all
All of them are your stories

Do you remember your dreams,
That you drew on paper that time?
Raise your hand a bit higher
Just believe in your own light

Everyone has their own struggles
Someday, they will become your strengths
Just do your best for 365 more days
And don't forget the path you've chosen

If you ever ask why
It's because you're still alive
It's because you still have a dream
It's enough.
