まるでドラマのワンシーン

It's like a scene from a drama

スローになる貴方の唇 霞んでいく （聞きたくない）

Your lips slow down, blurring away (I don't want to hear it)

心と裏腹に 強がりで言うサヨナラ まだ言いたくない （時を巻き戻して）

Contrary to my heart, I stubbornly say goodbye, I still don't want to say it (rewinding time)

会えない時間が 愛を育てるなんて

The time we can't meet makes love grow, they say

ただの 言い訳だね

But it's just an excuse, right?

会いたいならすぐ 会いに来て欲しいの

If I want to see you, I want you to come right away

だけど 出来ないのは why, why, why?

But the reason I can't is why, why, why?

大人になりきれなくて

I can't fully grow up

貴方に愛されたくて

I want to be loved by you

何度傷ついたって again, again, eh

No matter how many times I get hurt, again, again, eh

求めてしまう 優しい嘘でも 今夜はいいから

Even if it's a gentle lie, I keep seeking, it's okay tonight

駆け引きしては 試してたのは

Playing mind games, testing if

本当の 純粋な想いじゃない why?

It's not true, pure feelings, why?

Having childish love

Made you go around in circles

何度傷つけたって again, again, eh
