Love, Older You Lyrics English Translation by ILLIT
Dear younger me
Will I disappear like a speck of dust?
Like a puzzle left behind
Feels like you don’t have a place?
The kid in the mirror
You hate more than anyone
The tears you’ve swallowed
Made a sea in your heart
Small and fragile, mm
Dear younger me
In the dark long night, alone in your room
Curled up and falling asleep
On your pillow, damp beside your head
A letter I leave for you
The future that shines is just one step away
It’ll be waiting for you right there
Don’t hold back, it’s okay to cry, you’re doing fine
Love, older you
In that crumpled-up diary
Sorry for yelling at Mom
Always “work hard,” and “work hard”
Those words hurt sometimes
Dear younger me
In the dark long night, alone in your room
Curled up and falling asleep
On your pillow, damp beside your head
A letter I leave for you
All those tears will give the future you
A pair of stronger wings
It’s okay, let yourself be held, believe in yourself
Love, older you
Today, just let yourself fall into a deep sleep
(Dear younger me)
When you open your eyes, even the dark heart will brighten up
Dear younger me, love, older you
Dear younger me, love, older you
Trust the you in tomorrow and keep dreaming
Love, older you
