Lyrics

Rōmaji

Kondo wa itsu aeru ka nante
Sonna kaoshite yoku ierutte
Omotteta yo nande darou

Anytime shiberisugi no KY
Chirari miseru tsuyogari na "I cry"
Namida no kouka wa dore kurai?

Watashi na ri ni "ai saretai" afureru no ni kimi ga mienai
Nido to kimi ni aenai sonna ki ga suru n da…
Tsutaetai no ni umai kotoba mietara nai watashi tabun
Uso demo ii no ni "ikanai demo" ienai yo

Nigitteta te ga hanaretara
Kimi wa itsuka wasurechau no?
Watashi no koto
Tsutaetai no ni umai kotoba mietara nai watashi tabun
Uso demo ii no ni "ikanai demo" ienai yo

Rōmaji (Full Version)

Kondo wa itsu aeru ka nante
Sonna kaoshite yoku ierutte
Omotteta yo nande darou

Nani mo ki ni naranai FURIshite
Ii wake suru nara kikou sama de
Tsunagatte taikara
Mou kao mo mitakunai megurokawazoi
Arienai tenkai odoru KEETAI

GOODBYE MEERU naraba wasuretai
"Hold me tight" but "dokka kietai"
Anytime shiberisugi no KY
Chirari miseru tsuyogari na "I cry"
Namida no kouka wa dore kurai?

Watashi na ri ni "ai saretai" afureru no ni kimi ga mienai
Nido to kimi ni aenai sonna ki ga suru n da…
Tsutaetai no ni umai kotoba mietara nai watashi tabun
Uso demo ii no ni "ikanai demo" ienai yo

Kushami suru to deru hen na koeto
Kusha kusha ni warau BUSAIKU na kao
Tomaranai ase me wo kosuru kuse
Dou setsu maranai AITSU no tokusei

Nitemo nitsukenai futari no SUTAIRU
Muda ni Shy SENSU wa yayanai
Uso tsuku toki no fukumi warai
UZAI tokku ni BAREBARE mendokusai

Tamatama kareshi gai nai TAIMINGU de
Hima tsubushi teido no koi tte
Tomodachi ni mo ii wakeshitete
Masaka watashi ga oikaketeru… nande?

Tsumaranai JOOKU wa ittsumo kudoku
Douko made mo tsuzuku aki aki na TOOKU
Sono tabi ROKKU kondo wa watashi kara Knock
Watashi na ri ni "ai saretai" afureru no ni kimi ga mienai

Nido to kimi ni aenai sonna ki ga suru n da…
Tsutaetai no ni umai kotoba mietara nai watashi tabun
Uso demo ii no ni "ikanai demo" ienai yo

Watashi no koto
Watashi na ri ni "ai saretai" afureru no ni kimi ga mienai
Nido to kimi ni aenai sonna ki ga suru n da…
Tsutaetai no ni umai kotoba mietara nai watashi tabun
Uso demo ii no ni "ikanai demo" ienai yo

English

What made me think
"How can you say that with a straight face"
When you asked, "when will we meet again?"
Any time you talk too much, I know you don't get it.
For a moment, I see you bluff and I cry.
Do my tears work on you?
I keep saying "I want to be loved,"
in my own special way, but you still don't get the hint
I have this nagging feeling
that I'll never see you again….
I wish I could tell you, but I can't find the words
Maybe I'd rather listen to you lie,
I can't even say "Don't leave me."
When you let go of my hand, will you forget about me?
I wish I could tell you, but I can't find the words
Maybe I'd rather listen to you lie, I can't even say "Don't leave me."

English (Full Version)

“How long before we see each other again?”
What made me think that
You were saying it with a nice expression?
I pretend that there’s nothing bothering me

I’ll listen ’till morning as you make excuses
Because I want us to be connected
I don’t even want to see your face along the Meguro river anymore
No development will come from this, my cell phone dances

If it’s goodbye mail, I want to forget about it
“Hold me tight” but “I want to disappear to somewhere”
Any time that you’re talking too much you don’t seem to notice*
I let you see that “I cry” a little while pretending to be strong
How well did those tears work on you?

Even though “I want to be loved” in my own way, it fills me, but I can’t see you
I just have the feeling that I’ll never see you again…
I want to tell you that, but I can’t find the right words
Maybe it’s okay if I lie, but I can’t even say “Don’t go away”

The strange voice he has when he sneezes
The screwed up face he has when he laughs
His habit of rubbing his eyes when he can’t stop sweating
No matter how you look at him, his personality is boring

Our styles aren’t similar at all
He’s uselessly shy, a bit of bad taste
The smirk he has when he lies is annoying
I figured those out ages ago, it sucks
I just didn’t have a boyfriend at that time

It was just a relationship for me to kill time with
Those are the excuses I told my friends
There’s no way I was pursuing him… huh?
He tries to win me over with boring jokes

And I’m sick of his nonstop talking
I’ve always locked him out, and now I’m knocking
Even though “I want to be loved” in my own way, it fills me, but I can’t see you
I just have the feeling that I’ll never see you again…
I want to tell you that, but I can’t find the right words

Maybe it’s okay if I lie, but I can’t even say “Don’t go away”
When our hands come apart
Will you forget someday?
About me?

Even though “I want to be loved” in my own way, it fills me, but I can’t see you
I just have the feeling that I’ll never see you again…
I want to tell you that, but I can’t find the right words
Maybe it’s okay if I lie, but I can’t even say “Don’t go away”
