Fake, true

Fake, true

Fake & True

Fake & True

ないものを願えど

Wishing for what I don't have

結局癒せない渇きを (Oh, oh)

In the end, I can't soothe this thirst (Oh, oh)

だけどきっと望むのを

But surely, if I keep wishing for it

やめなければ いつかは

If I stop, someday it’ll come true

True, true, true

True, true, true

満たされたフリをしないで

Don’t pretend to be satisfied

Believe in your intuition (Oh, oh)

Believe in your gut feeling (Oh, oh)

強がりも 羨むことも

Acting tough and being jealous too

必要なことなの (Uh, uh)

Are things you just have to do (Uh, uh)

限界を決め付けない

Don’t set limits

どこまでも (ha, ha, ah, ah, ha)

No matter how far (ha, ha, ah, ah, ha)

私たち もっと自由なまま

We can stay even freer

輝ける

And shine brighter

How long? Fake & True (Ha, ah)

How long? Fake & True (Ha, ah)

Fake and Fake and True

Fake and Fake and True

Fake & True (Ha, ah)

Fake and Fake and True

諦めるよりも 手を伸ばせ

Reach out instead of giving up

Gettin' up, Gettin' up, Gettin' up

Getting up, Getting up, Getting up

"どっちがいいかなんて" もうわかるでしょ？

You already know which is better, right?

Gettin' up, Gettin' up, Gettin' up

Getting up, Getting up, Getting up

出来ない 成れない

Can't do it, can't become it

どうしてネガティブにしちゃうの？(Oh, oh)

Why do you get so negative? (Oh, oh)

憧れや夢だと そう

Because it's like a dream or aspiration

胸を張って語れば

If you talk about it proudly

True, true, true

True, true, true

夢見がちでも (Ho!)

Even if you tend to dream (Ho!)

叶えばホント (Ho!)

If it comes true (Ho!)

自分でさえも (Ho!)

Even myself (Ho!)

驚かせちゃおうよ

Let's surprise everyone

Never ever say, "I know I can't"

Never say, "I know I can't"

やり遂げた先の快感

The thrill of completing it

Love Live Fun Work

Love, live, fun, work

色付き始める Canvas

A canvas beginning to color

ここで Inning それでいいの？

Is it okay to just play the inning here?

私なんて (Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho)

Someone like me (Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho)

Are those words sincere or false?
