Let Me Say ...
Toshiki Kadomatsu Lyrics

The lyrics of Toshiki Kadomatsu's song "Let Me Say" express the singer's inner conflict and emotional turmoil after a break-up. The opening lines describe the pain and hardship of walking the same path that leads to the former partner's room. Even though the singer has made the decision to forget and move on, seeing the light on the windowsill gives him/her the hope and illusion that the partner is still there. The singer's determination to forget is fraying apart, as he/she sinks deeper into reminiscing and the longing for the past.

The second verse portrays a complicated love-hate sentiment. The singer acknowledges the faults in the ex-partner that made the relationship difficult, yet he/she cannot forget the irresistible attraction that the partner used to evoke. The third and final verse expresses the singer's desire to say goodbye and leave, but at the same time, he/she is clinging onto the self-delusion of a potential reunion, knowing that it will never happen. The struggle of letting go and hoping for reconciliation cause the singer to suffer and be afraid.
