Ballad

Luiza

This time I "ll try not to forget

To turn the lights all the way down for bed

Though I wished for you to feel the same

It was killing you instead

We spent time together

I was nothing better than a dreamy writer

Mistaking my answers for your light

All the books I read, never knew

Came to life, right when I met you

Every page true — it was you

Like watching drama

Pain feels just right

The reality that makes trauma

Would it be wrong to dream happy end?

Our stories still flow

What’s real will show

Now we know

Hearts are made to go

Could it be wrong to dream again?

How do I know when it's time to let go

When all the arms are gone

When you've always been the best

And worst of my ghost

How would you know when it’s time to let go

Like you’re the one who knows

Without the only shape you left behind

Let go let go let go

I know

Let go let go let go

I know

Let go let go

悲しみも敵わないような

暗闇溶かす光のような

そんな存在でいたかった

かいかぶり過ぎてたのかな

足りなかったんだ僕は

みんなにはある真髄は

僕のは霧だったから

届かないと思ってた

刺さっていた棘の跡が

あなたの抱きしめ方

どうやら知ってるようだ

ねぇ 次はいいかな

抱き寄せてみても

また

This time I "ll try not to forget

To turn the lights all the way down for bed

    Ballad

    Luiza

"Ballad" is the new digital single from Japanese singer-songwriter Luiza, marking her first release in four years and three months.
A piano-led alternative piece that traces the complex contours of loving someone deeply.

After taking time to reexamine her musical direction and reflect on what truly matters to her, the theme that emerged was the complexity of love.

The song explores the conflict of wanting to be someone's strength, only to realize that such feelings can sometimes stem from ego.
It portrays the growth that comes from accepting one's helplessness while still choosing to care and continue loving.

A piece where stillness and movement, fragility and strength, quietly intersect.
