1.I reached out with timid hands so many times,
2.But I pushed them away, afraid of losing.3.
4.Wearing a mask to fit someone else,
5.Hiding the “real me.”
6.So I wouldn’t get hurt.
7.No, no, no, no, no, no—that’s not how I truly feel.
8.Won’t someone notice?9.
10.The truth is, I wanted to tell you, I felt lonely.
11.Deep in my heart,
12.Please notice what’s inside.
13.If being someone else could also mean being myself, would I stop struggling?
14.I don’t know.
15.I always wanted to believe and reached out my hand.
16.Being alone is terrifying.
17.If I hold you close and grasp you,
18.Will you accept me?
19.Someday,
20.Please find the real “me.”21.
22.I got used to hiding myself,
23.Convinced I wouldn’t have to get hurt—but,24.
25.For every “someone,” there’s a different “me,”
26.And each time, I lose sight of myself.
27.What was the real “me” again?
28.No, no, no, no, no, no—I don’t know anymore.
29.Won’t someone give me an answer?30.
31.My thoughts spin in circles again,
32.I don’t even understand myself.
33.When will I be able to be honest?
34.Hey, hey, hey.35.
36.The truth is, I was jealous, I admired them—
37.Those pure, white flowers.
38.If my wish could come true,
39.Could I become like that someday too?
40.I don’t know.41.
42.The truth is, I wanted to tell you, I felt lonely.
43.Deep in my heart,
44.If I could be honest,
45.Someday,
46.Would you accept the real “me”?
47.… just kidding!
