As I stand here on my own
I grasp my aching heart
Battling with the demons
Of sorrow and solitude
Hitoritabi...
Until my skin is like stone
I carry on my many scars
And embrace as much of attention
I can gain from you
Hitoriaruki...
Still, the words I said to you
Their falsehood cuts me through
How I hide behind a facade
And mask my growing pain
Hitoripocchi...
Too, your words you have said
Their truth and honesty, repeat
"If ever a new lover comes your way
Don't wait for me, don't hesitate."
Perhaps this is all what we will come to
But we do not know what the future holds
Yet all I ask of you is to remember me and my truth
And that you'll always be happy as I'll always hope
