ツギハギスタッカート (Tsugihagi Staccato)

==Background==
"Patchwork Staccato" is an original song by toa. It was uploaded to bilibili on May 1, 2015.
There are two ways to interpret the lyrics. The song could be about a girl previously in a toxic relationship that she's cut off suddenly. She wants to forget that person even if she'll be a little lonely; she wants to pretend that it's never happened. Yet she does not know how to deal with this loss. The other interpretation is that it's about one sided love. The girl continues on as if she doesn't have feelings towards her friend, but it hurts for her to do so. She'd rather not be with her friend anymore than be constantly reminded they don't love her the way she loves them.
This song has reached the Hall of Legend, exceeded over 12 million YouTube views, and exceeded over 100,000 bilibili views. It is featured in the album Watashi to VOCALOID no Aru Nichijou.

It's time to put an end
To my patchwork time with you
Just rip out these threads
And see them scatter in a flurry of color
Come on, don't you remember what you said?
All that wasted time?
Just rip out these threads
They're uneven, isn't that funny?
Tick-tock, tick-tock, draw a circle
Ding-ding, ding-dong, let's play
Tick-tock, tick-tock, close your hands and open them
Ding-dong, ding-dong, see you later
The torn threads whisper
I don't want, don't want you here right now
If things are going to stay like this
Then I'm probably sure, I'm sure, it's no big deal
It'll just lighten my load a little
Hey, why not, why not throw it all away?
Maybe you won't even notice
But maybe I'll never, never stop loving you
If so, it might be a little painful…
Before I know it, I'm tired of
That screen I'm always watching
If I've got to go without this and that, well
That'd be dull and boring, wouldn't it?
Flick-tap, flick-tap, slide across the screen
Swipe-tap, swipe-tap, A.R. -> T
Flick-tap, flick-tap, open it and tap
Swipe-swipe, swipe-swipe
Boy, I'm sick of that
The dangling threads whisper
I don't want, don't want you here now
Nothing will change, it'll all be the same
So I'm sure, I'm sure it's no big deal
I'll just be a little lonely
C'mon, why not, why not throw it all away?
Maybe you won't even notice
But I'll probably never, never stop loving you
It'll be a little painful…
…♪…
…La La…
…So…
So I don't want, don't want you here now
Nothing will change, it'll all be the same
So I'm sure, I'm sure it's no big deal
I'll just be a little lonely
So okay? Okay? I'm throwing it out!
You didn't notice? If you haven't noticed yet…
I know, I know, the one you love
Was me all along
…Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock…
…Ding-Dong, Ding-Dong…
…♪…
It's time to put an end
To my patchwork time with you
Just rip out these threads
See, it's easy. Funny, isn't it?
