Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
きのう弱かった自分と 明日きっと強い自分と
あなたなら誰に見せてる 私なら誰に見せればいい
時間なんてものはとても 時として残酷で
でもその残酷さゆえに 今が創られて
人を求めやまないのは 一瞬の解放が
足元で搖れている花にさえ 気付かないままで
通り過ぎてきた私は鏡に 向かえなくなっている
今日のうれしかった顏 今日の悲しかった顏
きのう癒された傷と今日深く開いた傷を
あなたなら誰に見せてる 私なら誰に見せればいい
与えられた自分だけの 正気と狂気があって
そのどちらも否定せずに 存在するなら
ムダなもの 溢れてしまったもの 役立たないものも
迷わずに選ぶよ そう 私が私であるためにね
幸せの基準はいつも 自分のものさしで 決めてきたから
今日のうれしかった顏 今日の悲しかった顏
きのう癒された傷が今日開きだしたとしても
あなたなら誰に見せれる 私ならあの人に見せたい
