[English]

I want to cry, but I can't

A voice I want to scream, desperately holding it back

It's painful, really painful

If I could just carve it out from my chest

I want to erase my feelings for you

But why can't I burn them away like a photo...

Girl, I really don't get it now, what are you thinking?

Since we started dating, - it's gone beyond just playing around, right?

I even gave you a key to my house - I introduced you to my parents

We joked around, even decided on a name for our future kid

But when I go home at night, I hear your

voice, and I'm not alone

I want to shout, but I can't

A voice I want to scream, desperately holding it back

It's painful, really painful

If I could just carve it out from my chest

I want to erase my feelings for you

But why can't I burn them away like a photo...

Hey wait, I don't think I understand, I mean...

I said wait, I don't think you understand, seriously

When, why, where? No way, this can't be true

I don't even want to see your face, get the fuck out of my face

After all that we've been through - you threw it all away

I can never go back again

Memories, even those fake tears

All those forced smiles, they're all lies, right?

So fuck you very much, although I wish it wasn't so,

Thanks for the time wasted

Memories, I don't need those

思い出も　その嘘泣きも

Right now, I just can never forgive you...

I can't forgive you, I love you too much

I want to shout, but I can't

It's painful, really painful

If I could just carve it out from my chest

I want to erase my feelings for you

But I can never think of you

Only when it's convenient for you

You never hold me close

Yet why can you say you love me?

I don’t understand it, baby

It's mutual, yet

Why do you hurt me?

No matter what you say now, hell no, everything is broken

Get the fuck away

I want to cry, but I can't

A voice I want to scream, desperately holding it back

It's painful, really painful

If I could just carve it out from my chest

I want to erase my feelings for you

泣きたくて、泣けなくて

But why can't I burn them away like a photo...

I love you

I hate you

I love you

思いを消しさりたいけど

I hate you

焼き捨てられないんだろう...

i love u
