Ego
小林未郁 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For the perfect smile I smell your ego on the way
It's long since I saw the snow
You've been told before
All this things have gone
You told me, so many mental heavy days
Do the right thing but always wrong eventually
But we're not the same
Anymore…
Give me your hand I really need your help
It's not a game
What are you saying?
Trembling in the dark
It's time to find the answer
A life for counter by the storm
The waves are all of the world
Have you tried to face your days that you can learn
Give me your hand I feel pain so much
It's not a game
What are you saying?
Walking in the dark
It's time to find the answer
A life for counter by the storm
The waves are all of the world
Have you tried to face your days that you can learn
You can deeply hold your breath for loneliness
For the perfect smile I smell your ego on the way
It's long since I saw the snow
I've been read before
