[Verse 1]
I stand behind these lies
While I fall apart inside
There’s no one to tell me why
Did I ever close my eyes to see?

Colours seem to fade
To this melancholy state
Who says what am I to change?
Did I ever take the time to breathe?

[Verse 2]
Can you keep me in the dark
And never let me see
The light can be so much worse

And I feel it slip away
One last good memory
Our time has come and gone

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m fading away

[Chorus]
A little bit closer
To that moment
I’m standing next to you
But I know
How this story will unfold

A little bit farther
Till I’m caught up
To what I’m running from
But I know the end
It always ends with you

[Verse 3]
Try to hold onto the pain
The one thing that won’t change
It’s keeping me grounded

And the one reality
Starts slipping away
And crumbles all around me

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m fading away

[Chorus]
A little bit closer
To that moment
I’m standing next to you
But I know
How this story will unfold

A little bit farther
Till I’m caught up
To what I’m running from
But I know the end
It always ends with you
(It always ends with you)

[Verse 1]
I stand behind these lies
While I fall apart inside
There’s no one to tell me why
Did I ever close my eyes to see?

Colours seem to fade
To this melancholy state
Who says what am I to change?

[Chorus]
A little bit closer
To that moment
I’m standing next to you
But I know
How this story will unfold

A little bit jaded
Can’t take it
There’s only one way out
So I know the end
It always ends with you

It always ends with you

Aimer

Aimer (エメ Eme, [eme]) is a Japanese pop singer and lyricist signed to SME Records and managed by FOURseam. Her name comes from the verb “Aimer” in French which means “to love”.

Aimer grew up around music and has a strong music background. Her father is a bassist in a band and she began studying piano in elementary school. She held Ringo Sheena and Utada Hikaru up to be her role models. In her years of junior high, Avril Lavigne inspired her to study guitar and begin writing English lyrics. At the age of fifteen, Aimer lost her voice due to the over-usage of her vocal chords, prompting her to undergo silence therapy to treat her condition. Fortunately, she recovered and the incident resulted in acquiring her signature husky voice.

Aimer started her career with a group called Agehasprings to collaborate on writing, producing and distributing music to various artists, including Yuki, Mika Nakashima, Flumpool, Superfly, Yuzu and Genki Rockets. She released her first album in May 2011 titled “Your favorite things” comprised of various genres like jazz and country western music. Though, Aimer went on to provide a signature genre of pop rock under her name, with her songs being featured in Japanese animes.
