my confession, when i wake up in the morning
the FACE i want to see
the person who wakes me from my DEEP sleep
standing in front of her, i’m just a fool
breathless, unable to say even a word
your hair, those fingers
even those smiling lips
no one can replace her unique
color, i’ve fallen into it
hairstyle and that gaze
even your unique way of speaking
was enough to change my LIFE

i’m heading towards you now
nothing can block my path anymore
not even anything
i will become her only man
or shall i end up STEALING her heart

my parching THIRST
your gaze, your taste
even the songs you enjoy
everything by your side is my

focus of interest and attention
your flaws and your pain
now they BELONG to me
i’m happy to share in your sadness
i’m such a FOOLISH man
unable to find the courage
to express any feelings for you
i want to be free
waiting for the day i can approach you
looking at your face
wrapping my arms around your small shoulders
feeling your lips slowly approaching
your flaws and your pain
now they BELONG to me
i’m happy to share in your sadness
i’m such a FOOLISH man
unable to find the courage
to express any feelings for you
i want to be free
waiting for the day i can approach you
looking at your face
wrapping my arms around your small shoulders
feeling your lips slowly approaching

no matter how we express ourselves
no words can cover up
the thick fog that i couldn’t wake up from
it was a DREAM, a dream
i don’t know much, but speaking of love
is like choosing a wonderful gift for myself
i hope you become the PRECIOUS person
who can share my dreams with me
in my love
baby, let me be, so the path of my love
can show you everything clearly
no words can cover up
the thick fog that i couldn’t wake up from
it was a DREAM, a dream
i don’t know much, but speaking of love
is like choosing a wonderful gift for myself
i hope you become the PRECIOUS person
who can share my dreams with me
in my love
baby, let me be, so the path of my love
can show you everything clearly
