Mask

At midnight, my reflection in the window glass
looks exhausted and I heave a heavy sigh that today is over
I'm no longer surprised when I see someone's dyed eyes*,
having lost sight of the importance of telling the truth

Since then we've overcome so much pain
or pretended to, simply covering scars with new wounds

Blaming the times, we let go of our feelings

"Even so, in the future there'll be meaning to moving forward now"
I remember that person's words and get back up

Making excuses by lining up all the things I can't do anymore
and just putting on a smile for the time being, when did I start doing that?

Communicating even in tears, yelling until I was understood,
when was the last time I was able to face someone like that?

The wind has gotten colder, right?
Winter is just around the corner

I've started to feel like listening to only soft songs
Imagining, hiding my wounds with other wounds again?

* T/N: No clue what she means with "someone's dyed eyes". The literal translation is "eyes that someone has colored/dyed".

It’s 冷た from 冷たい つめたい cold
