I feel most miserable When I can't step "step up to the plate" You know? People often say Regret from doing it is better than regret for not doing it
I can't write a lie; the world of imagination is no good. I objectively capture my own experiences and those of my friends. I want to put true feelings into words. If I make a song when I'm sad, it's a dark one, but I think that's good. No matter when I want to be true to myself.
If you are afraid of changes Watch from a distance Whether or not I might do something If you're going to talk about me behind my back It is what it is.
I was forgiven by forgiving many things Including my long-ago childhood I was healed, but I intended [ to ] heal I've just noticed, the way I was saved by love Though I tried to keep love away.

If people will listen, I will go anywhere in the world!

I'm not a professional; I lack even basic knowledge about writing music.
If I write when I'm low, it will be a dark song, but I don't care. I want to be honest with myself at all times.
If there are rules and regulations, I can't help it, I want to break them.
It's hard to decide how to match words to music. It's not like it's twice the work. It's always difficult for me to explain to the composer what I'm looking for. I'm not a professional; I lack even basic knowledge about writing music
