Suki ni hasanda zaregoto gaThe nonsense I mixed in with my ‘I like yous’,
Kimi no hoppe ni kaeseta aka gaand the blush that rose to your cheeks,
Watashi no honne dattari shitewere actually my true feelings.
Mimi ga akaku natchau kotoThe way my ears burn red,
Wara wareru no o matte iru no gawaiting for you to laugh it off,
Watashi no kotae dattari shitemight just be my answer.
Kakehiki ga hitsuyo na uchi wa honmono janai yoIf we need these mind games, it isn’t real love.
Shitte iru n dakedo naaI know that, I really do,
Doshite mobut I can’t help myself.
Kanashimi ga itsuka futari no ichibu ni naru naraIf this sadness will eventually become a part of us,
Mo sukoshi dake ganbatte miruI’ll try to hang on a little longer.
Hoka no dareka to iru nante sozo suru to iya na n daI hate imagining you with anyone else.
Motto me o mite te o nigitte chanto itteLook me in the eye, hold my hand, and say it like you mean it.

Nigezu ni mukiau wa dare ni demo kimi ni demo dekiru koto daFacing things without running away is something anyone—even you—can do.
Kakehiki ga hitsuyo na uchi wa honmono janai yoIf we need these mind games, it isn’t real love.

Mo sukoshi dake ganbatte miruI’ll try to hang on a little longer.
Kuchibeni o nurinaoshita tokoro deEven if I reapply my lipstick,
Nanimono ni mo narenai no ni zutto matte iruI won’t become someone else, yet I keep waiting here.
