July 1st [was it written on july 1st?]
CAROLS [according to the title, the song suppose to be joyful, but it came out extremely desperate & sorrowful song]

someday i'll understand, that's for sure...

poker face - When you play the card game poker, you try not to show any emotion on what cards you get. Otherwise, people will try to play against you.

poker face
It's always easy to cry, but I like to smile
I want your love

My true self is growing dim little by little
In the surging crowds I was searching for the answer that remained unfound
As I get better at telling lies and giving excuses, I come to feel fear in the emptiness

It's always easy to cry, but I like to smile
If I pretended to be strong, I would forget tenderness, so I'd like to be natural
I want your love

People are always alone
So they need someone, wishing to be supported and to support
Nothing is certain, but I have my believing heart

If I find one important thing, I will keep it by my own hand
If I hit a wall too high and get hurt, I should stand up again
I don't want anything else, just one is enough
I want your love

Ayu simply sometimes doesn't want to show her true self, because she is afraid of hurting others or losing her innocence.
