Letter
Dear, I wonder where you are
and what you are doing
At fifteen, I have a seed of worry
that I can't talk to anyone about
If I write a letter to my future self
I will surely be able to confess honestly
Feeling like I'm about to lose, about to cry
I, who seem to disappear
Whose words
should I believe and follow?
My only heart breaks into pieces many times
Living in pain right now
Living in the present
Dear, thank you to my fifteen-year-old self
There are things I want to convey
What am I and where should I go?
If I keep asking, it will become clear
The rough sea of youth is harsh
But sail the ship of dreams towards tomorrow's shore
Don't lose now, don't cry
When it seems like I'm about to disappear
I should believe in my own voice and keep going
Even as an adult, I get hurt
There are sleepless nights
But I live in the bitter and sweet present
Because there is meaning in everything in life
Don't be afraid, nurture your dreams
La la la, la la la
Keep on believing
La la la, la la la
Keep on believing, keep on believing, keep on believing
Feeling like I'm about to lose, about to cry
I, who seem to disappear
Whose words should I believe and follow?
Oh, don't lose now, don't cry
When it seems like I'm about to disappear
I should believe in my own voice and keep going
In any era, there is sadness
that cannot be avoided
But let's show a smile and live in the present
Let's live in the present
Dear, I wish you happiness as you read this letter
