[Japanese]

[English]

ああ そりゃまぁそうだな

Ah, well, that's just how it is

僕じゃないよな

It's not me, right?

そして君は運命通りに

And you go along with destiny

どうか そいつと不幸せに

Please, be unhappy with that person

ってそれは冗談でも

Even if it's just a joke

いつかどっかで

Someday, somewhere

やっぱり僕にしとけばよかったな

I guess I should have just gone with myself

なんて思う日は来ないだろうな

There probably won't be a day when I think that again

どうせならもっと自分勝手に

If anything, I should have been more selfish

君を想えばよかった

And just thought of you

僕の胸の中にいる

Inside my heart, there's

怪獣のサイズを

The size of a monster

いつだって伝え損ねてしまうけど

Though I always end up failing to express it

君が見たのは ほんの一部だ

What you've seen is only a little part

何も壊す事が出来ずに

Unable to destroy anything

立ち尽くした怪獣が

The monster stands still, frozen in place

僕の真ん中に今日も陣取って

And today, it’s taking over my heart too

叫んでるんだ

Shouting out loud

嫌だ！ 嫌だ！ 君をよこせ！ って

No! No! Give me you!

ああ 君に恋をしてさ

Ah, I fell in love with you

嫌われたくなくてさ

Not wanting to be hated

気付けばただの面白くない人に

Before I knew it, I just became a boring person

違ったそれはもっとからだった

No, that was just a misunderstanding

Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh

Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh

...

...

馬鹿な僕も 優しい僕も

Both the foolish me and the gentle me

傷も 牙も ずるいとこも

The scars, fangs, and sneaky side

全部見せなくちゃ駄目だったな

I had to show it all, no matter what

僕の胸の中にある

Inside my heart, there's

君宛の手紙は

A letter addressed to you

最後まで渡しそびれ続けたけど

I kept failing to give it till the very end

本当は傑作揃いなんだよ

But honestly, they're all masterpieces

僕の腕の中に誘う

They invite you into my arms

ただ唯一の合図は

The only signal is

ゴジラもカネゴンだって僕だって

Even if it’s Godzilla or Kanegon, or me

違いは無いんだ

There's no real difference

嫌だ！ 嫌だ！ 君をよこせ！ って

No! No! Give me you!

言えばよかった

I should have just said it

Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh

Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh

...
