Goodbye akkenai koiGoodbye to this disappointing, short-lived love.
Oikakeru hodo tooi nukumoriThe more I chase, the further your warmth feels.
Shiri mo shinakatta waI didn’t even know,
Pretty girlfriend iru nantethat you already had a ‘pretty girlfriend’.
Oh my godOh my god.
Anata ga suki na aidoru no you niJust like that idol you like,
Dress up glow upI’d dress up, glow up,
So konomi ni fookasufocusing entirely on your preferences.
Imi nai fugainaiIt’s meaningless, I’m spineless.
Are mo kore mo subete muda datta mitaiIt looks like everything, this and that, was just a waste.
Let it beLet it be.
Seiippai no senobi mou yameru noI’m done trying so hard to be someone I’m not.

Todoku hazu nai atsui omokage wochasing a passionate image I could never reach.
