Fragments of a Forgotten Self is a song about my 18 year old self asking my current self where all the mental struggles began.

lyrics

From the 18-year-old me to the 30-year-old me

Where did I go wrong?

When did the sparkle in your eyes disappear?

You won't smile anymore.

The word "future", which I couldn't imagine in my textbooks,

Now, like scraps of paper,

It's torn beneath my feet.

I miss the time when I believed that loving someone would save me.

But the face I see in the mirror

I don't recognize it anymore.

Hey, since when have you been looking up at the sky with such a heavy heart?

What have you been protecting, without even allowing yourself to cry?

Please, answer me.

Where did I go wrong?

Where did I go wrong?

Ah!

Tell me,

Where did I go wrong?

Where?

Will you ever smile again?

Your eyes are so empty.

When did everything go wrong?

When?

Even if it's a lie,

Just tell me "It's okay",

With your voice,

Like old times

(like old times).

Why are you so tied down by someone else's expectations?

What have you gained when you've even lost sight of yourself?

Tell me what's left in your hands after you've thrown away your dreams.

Please, just one more time, let me smile!

Let me smile!

Let me smile!
