LYRICS (translations by @translatingTXT)
One day, suddenly
Horns grew on my head
A shameful feeling
My mind goes blank
Hiding under my blanket
Only I am different
Even if I try running away endlessly
In the end, I'm still faced with myself and my horns
Inside this pitch-black darkness
Right before I break you off, I realize
Without you, there's no me
Telling me, what is the answer?
Telling me, have you found it?
Was the difference me?
So deep down, I need you more
Now I see what I can see
It’s a crown, that makes me shine
This difference is what I need
So deep down, I need you more
More, more, more, more
More, more, more, more
More, more, more, more
Deep down, I need you more
More, more, more, more (Telling me)
More, more, more, more (Telling me)
More, more, more, more (Telling me)
Deep down, I need you more
More, more, more, more
More, more, more, more
More, more, more, more
Deep down, I need you more
More, more, more, more (Telling me)
More, more, more, more (Telling me)
More, more, more, more (Telling me)
Deep down, I need you more
After a period of long wandering
I've finally realized the truth
The answer was so close by, yeah
A big crown on me
No longer hideous horns
You’re my silver lining
I tried to run away and ignore it
But this thing called 'fate' is too mischievous
The radiant light that led me
Was you who always made me shine
I realize it clearly now
Telling me, my difference
Telling me, it makes me who I am
Telling me, one and only
So deep down, I need you more
It's not a flaw or a stain
But something given only to me
A special one and only
So deep down, I need you more
More, more, more, more
More, more, more, more
More, more, more, more
Deep down, I need you more
More, more, more, more (Telling me)
More, more, more, more (Telling me)
More, more, more, more (Telling me)
Deep down, I need you more
More, more, more, more
More, more, more, more
More, more, more, more
Deep down, I need you more
More, more, more, more (Telling me)
More, more, more, more (Telling me)
More, more, more, more (Telling me)
Deep down, I need you more
