VOCALOID
♫ I really like to sing But not because I was created to do so It's because you said you liked this voice of mine And that it makes you smile
I know nothing else but 0 and 1 Yet you taught me the meaning of "I" / "Love" And since that day forward, my heart... It has been filled with you
(...)
I hate when I'm alone by myself Because I might melt into a void of solitud I like the times you spend here with me Because your presence makes me feel alive
I can't do anything by myself Yet you gave me a song to sing And since that day forward, my heart... It has been filled with you
Being able to stay with you is enough for me It makes my electric heart tremble in excitement It's like my heart... Sways in the quantum breeze
Being able to stay with you is enough for me It stretches out my world beyond Would my digital heart... ...grow angel wings and take flight? ♫ —Hatsune Miku - Electric Angel
