Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

多分、私じゃなくていいね

Maybe, I don't really matter to you

余裕のない二人だったし

We were both so tense and anxious

気付けば喧嘩ばっかりしてさ ごめんね

And before I knew it, we kept arguing. Sorry about that

ずっと話そうと思ってた

I’ve wanted to talk to you for a long time

きっと私たち合わないね

Probably, we just don’t fit well together

二人きりしかいない部屋でさ

In a room just the two of us

貴方ばかり話していたよね

You were the only one I kept talking about, right?

もしいつか何処かで会えたら

If we ever meet somewhere someday

今日の事を笑ってくれるかな

Would you laugh about today’s things?

理由もちゃんと話せないけれど

And even though I can’t properly explain why

貴方が眠った後に泣くのは嫌

I hate crying after you’ve gone to sleep

声も顔も不器用なとこも

Your voice, your face, even your awkwardness

全部全部 嫌いじゃないの

All of it, I don’t hate even a little

ドライフラワーみたい 君との日々も

Like dried flowers, the days with you

きっときっときっときっと 色褪せる

Surely, surely, surely, they will fade with time

...

...

多分、君じゃなくてよかった

Maybe, I’m glad it wasn’t you

もう泣かされることもないし

I won’t be made to cry anymore

「私ばかり」なんて言葉も なくなった

And those words like 'It’s always me' are gone

あんなに悲しい別れでも

Even if we had a sad goodbye

時間が経てば忘れてく

As time passes, I forget

新しい人と並ぶ君は

You, alongside someone new

ちゃんとうまくやれているのかな

Are you really managing well?

もう顔も見たくないからさ

Because I don’t want to see your face anymore

変に連絡してこないでほしい

Please don’t contact me unexpectedly

都合がいいのは変わってないんだね

It seems you’re still convenient for yourself

でも無視できずにまた少し返事

But I still responded a little, unable to ignore

声も顔も不器用なとこも

Your voice, your face, even your awkwardness

多分今も 嫌いじゃないの

Probably even now, I don’t dislike you

ドライフラワーみたく 時間が経てば

Like dried flowers, as time goes by

きっときっときっときっと色褪せる

Surely, surely, surely, they will fade away

...

...

月灯りに魔物が揺れる

The monster sways in the moonlight

きっと私もどうかしてる

Surely, I’m also losing my mind

暗闇に色彩が浮かぶ

Colors emerge in the darkness

赤黄藍色が胸の奥

Red, yellow, blue, deep in my heart

ずっと貴方の名前を呼ぶ

I keep calling your name

好きという気持ち また香る

And the feeling of loving—you smell again

声も顔も不器用なとこも

Your voice, your face, even your awkwardness

全部全部 大嫌いだよ

All of it, I hate everything

まだ枯れない花を 君に添えてさ

I’ll give you a flower that hasn’t withered yet

ずっとずっとずっとずっと 抱えてよ

Hold on to it forever and ever, please

...
