The Truth Untold

English Translation

Loneliness is in full bloom
In this garden
A bed of thorns
I tied myself to this sand castle

What is your name?
Do you even have a place to go?
Oh could you tell me
I saw you hiding in this garden

And I know
That the warmth radiating from you is real
I want to hold your hand
That is plucking the blue flower, but…

It’s my destiny
Don’t smile on me
Light on me
Because I can’t stand tall before you
I don’t have a name that you can call me

You know that I can’t
Show you ME
Give you ME
I can’t show you how pathetic I am
So I go to you wearing a mask once more
But I still want you

A flower that resembles you
Has blossomed in this garden of loneliness
I wanted to give it to you
With my bare face, free of the this foolish mask

But I know
That I will never be able to do that
That I have no choice but to hide
Because I’m unsightly

I’m scared
And I feel pathetic
I’m so afraid
That you too will leave me in the end
So I go to you wearing a mask once more

The only thing I can do
In this garden
In this world
Is to blossom a beautiful flower that resembles you
And breathe as the me that you know

But I still want you
I still want you

Perhaps, back then
If I was braver
A little bit braver
And stood before you,
Would things have turned out different from now?

I’m crying
In this sand castle
That has disappeared
Fallen apart
And left alone
Gazing at my broken mask

And I still want you
But I still want you
But I still want you
And I still want you
