[English]

I'm smoking a cigarette on the balcony

Your shadow blurs with tears

"I don't want the room to smell too bad"

You say to me in my underwear

Gmaj7　F#m7　Em7　Dmaj7

I try to step outside, drawn to the window

"Wait a moment, it will be over soon"

Like a cigarette, my feelings will burn out too

Just kidding, it doesn't go that smoothly

You say just a little longer

Don't get my hopes up

How long should I wait?

Hey, what are you thinking?

Love changes its form

I'm hurt by love

Ah, I'm really getting tired of this

I press it against the ashtray on the balcony

My love is similar to that

Like a cigarette, my feelings will burn out too

Just kidding, it doesn't go that smoothly

The ash increases while love decreases

You don't care about me at all

I realized it too late

Happiness was a story from the past

The cigarette you smoked in front of me

The ugly lie you exhaled

It really smelled a bit bad

Floating in the air, it clings to me

You say just a little longer

Don't get my hopes up

How long should I wait?

Hey, what are you thinking?

Love changes its form

I'm hurt by love

Ah, I'm really getting tired of this

Just like the number of butts piling up on the balcony

I notice your feelings

Just like the number of butts piling up on the balcony

My heart gets hurt by that

The love I unconsciously pressed onto you

You turned your back pretending not to know

I follow and try to imitate you

I don't feel anything from the taste of the cigarette

Before I knew it, I'm also spitting out lies

False love changes its form

"I wish I hadn't expected this from the start"

Even if I say that, in the end, it still clings to me

Gmaj7　F#m7　Em7　Dmaj7
