Days 'til SCII: 11
Day 4 of my countdown. My 12th favorite 宇多田ヒカル song that is close to my heart:
12. For You
Official music video
More R&B Hikki! This is the eighth track off her second overall album Distance and her sixth single.
This track was nothing special to me when I first listened to it, (like a lot of songs I'm noticing! XD) but last year when I was starting college and going through some things, whenever I'd put this song on, it felt like Hikki was singing this song "for me". It helped me with some of my feelings. Corny, but that's how it was. Another song close to my heart. ♥♥♥ I love her vocals in this song by the way! Some of her strongest.

I think
That if I put my headphones on
And blend in with the crowd
Then I'll disappear
I want to dance
To the sort of music
That erases even the sound of my footsteps
Until I forget you and the fights we had
When I go back to my messy room
Just your presence
Reminds me how lonely I am
I wish I could become a bit nicer
Not for anyone else
Just for me
You can't feel lonely on your own
So, for you...
Until I can grow stronger
Until you get the message
I want to give this same loneliness to you
So I sing this song for you
On mornings when I don't want to get up
I get up to see your face
On nights when I couldn't sleep
I hummed the song you gave me
Don't take this the wrong way
Nobody's going to
Depend on you for anything
If there's a song I can sing
Not for anyone else
Just for me
I don't want to learn that kind of song
So, for you...
I thought I was used to it
I can be meek, but when I'm misunderstood
I feel like I'll burst
So I sing this song for you
I want to make you cry
Hurt me, I'll heal the wound
Whenever I want to fly
You will always give me a brighter sky
You want to make me cry
You taught me happiness with sadness
Whenever I want to shine
You will always give me a darker day
I wish I could become a bit nicer
Not for anyone else
Just for me
You can't feel lonely on your own
So, for you...
Until I can grow stronger
Until you get the message
I want to give this same loneliness to you
So I sing this song for you
If there's a song I can sing
Not for anyone else
Just for me
I don't want to learn that kind of song
So, for you...
I thought I was used to it
I can be meek, but when I'm misunderstood
I feel like I'll burst
So I sing this song for you
For you
12. For You
