Romaji

Kyou no ureshikatta kao kyou no kanashikatta kao
Kinou yowakatta jibun to ashita kitto tsuyoi jibun to
Anata nara dare ni miseteru watashi nara dare ni misereba ii

Jikan nante mono wa totemo toki toshite zankoku de
Demo sono zankokusa yue ni ima ga tsukurarete

Hito wo motome yamanai no wa isshun no kaihou ga
Yagate otozureru kyoufu ni masatte iru kara

Ashimoto de yurete iru hana ni sae ki zukanai mama de
Toorisugite kita watashi wa kagami ni mukaenaku natte iru

Kyou no ureshikatta kao kyou no kanashikatta kao
Kinou iyasareta kizu to kyou fukaku hiraita kuzu wo
Anata nara dare ni miseteru watashi nara dare ni misereba ii

Ataerareta jibun dake no shouki to kyouki ga atte
Sono dochira mo hitei sezu ni sonzai suru nara

Muda na mono afurete shimatta mono yaku tatanai mono mo
Mayowazu ni erabu yo sou watashi ga watashi de aru tame ni ne

Shiawase no kijun wa itsumo jibun no mono sashi de kimete kita kara

Kyou no ureshikatta kao kyou no kanashikatta kao
Kinou iyasareta kizu ga kyou hirakidashita toshitemo
Anata nara dare ni misereru watashi nara ano hito ni misetai

English

The happy face I had today, the sad face I had today
The self that was weak yesterday, the self that will surely be strong tomorrow
Who do you show? Who should I show?

Time is very cruel, it becomes more so as time goes by
But it's through this cruelty that the present is created

The reason we constantly yearn for people
Is because the momentary liberation wins over the fear that eventually creeps in

I walked past without even looking at the flowers that swayed at my feet
I can’t look in the mirror anymore

The happy face I had today, the sad face I had today
The wound that healed yesterday, the deep wound that opened up today
Who do you show? Who should I show?

I’ve been given my own kind of sanity and insanity
If I’m going to exist without denying either

Then I’m going to choose the useless things, and the things I have loads of
And even the things that are no use to me
Without hesitating, so that I can be me

Because I’ve always set my own standards of happiness

The happy face I had today, the sad face I had today
Even if the wound that healed yesterday begins to open again today
Who do you show? I want to show him
