I did quite a few of my own lyrics using Ayu's songs, but obviously they're not as good, but I'll post them anyway ^_^
Ayu poems
Original Song: HEAVEN
*
The winter wind begins
To howl when I’m alone.
It feels comforting like this
Rather than silence.
I spent so many nights alone
In reminiscence
For something I once lost
From the past.
*
It’s like my footprints may have been covered
By snow concealing the path.
*
The path ahead is clouded up
By thick mist and
The path behind me seem
So far and out of reach.
I will not continue
To make the same mistakes
That I had made in the past;
The unchangeable past.
*
‘Cos I’ll grow stronger every time I find
Myself trapped in a mess.
*
But I’d rather be weak with someone there
Who can guide me through the cold lonely days.
*
As I clench my teeth together
And lift up my head.
I am merely forcing myself
To walk on ahead.
*
Naturally I want
To be leaning on someone.
Someone who is there
To give me hope; to carry on
And not dwell on past sorrows.
Every time I am smiling
Tears well up inside.
Wearing this mask, I’ll wait
For someone who really cares.
*
I have waited so long
That I have forgotten
How it is to be loved.
Now the heart is ice cold.
I’m not heartless by nature,
I am just an imperfect being
Who hides the fact that
I need support too.
*
I no longer want to be
Thinking of how it was;
Dwelling on the past.
All on my own, I will
Fight the darkness alone.
Even though it’s tough
I know I will prevail.
*
‘Cos the flakes of snow will still fall
And the world will still spin.
*
Original Song: JEWEL
*
Walking through this town alone,
Watching as people pass me by.
On their faces was a gentle smile
That came within.
They were dressed up like snow might fall
And waved goodbye to summer days.
With the nights coming closer,
Winter is here.
*
When the lights in this town
Have been lit up,
I can feel the warmth.
With the tender light guiding
Me up ahead,
My wounds begin to close into scars.
*
I may be walking alone in the dark
I may be walking alone in the cold
I will not be stalled by the fear
Inside my heart.
I’m heading towards the light I can see
Shining gently in the distance.
I’m beginning to find the path
I want to walk along.
*
Like the season that is changing
The shorter days and longer nights,
They are like the ups and downs
I’ve had in my life.
*
So when this town is hit
By night time,
The artificial lights,
They will shine faintly a
Ray of hope for me to lift my head
And walk on.
*
I may be walking alone in vain
I may be walking alone forever
I will not be haunted by the ghosts
From the past.
I’m heading towards the future I want,
Reviving the dream held in for so long
It is ambitious but the
Desire stays strong.
*
I may be walking alone with this
I may be walking alone endlessly
I will not give up so easily
Until I’m there.
Even if the winter wind is strong
Even if the darkness draws closer
Hope is burning inside my
Heart right now.
*
I’m holding tightly onto this precious dream…
