I could lie and say I don't care, but

たまに胸騒ぐのもわかってよ

Please know that sometimes my heart still races

Key Grammar Structures

• ねぇ 言いかけた

  ➔ Verb Stem + かける (kakeru)

  ➔ This pattern indicates that an action was started but not completed, or that someone was "about to" do something. Here, "言いかけた" means "I started to say / was about to say".

• たまに胸騒ぐのもわかってよ

  ➔ Nominalizer の (no) + Particle も (mo)

  ➔ The particle 「の」 nominalizes the preceding verb phrase, turning it into a noun. Adding 「も」 here gives the meaning of "even" or "also". So, "胸騒ぐのも" means "even the fact that my heart sometimes races".

• 流れる星うららかな

  ➔ Verb in Dictionary Form modifying a Noun (Relative Clause)

  ➔ In Japanese, a verb in its dictionary form can directly precede and modify a noun, functioning as a relative clause. "流れる星" means "stars that flow / flowing stars".

• ずっと会いたくて

  ➔ ~たい (tai) form + て (te) form

  ➔ The 〜たい form expresses desire ("want to do"). Adding the 〜て form here connects it to a subsequent unstated clause, often implying a reason or a continuing state of longing. "ずっと会いたくて" means "because I always want to see you (and that's why...) / always wanting to see you".

• 何回でも 何万回でも

  ➔ 何〜でも (nan~demo)

  ➔ This pattern means "no matter how much/many (of something)" or "any amount/number of times". It expresses inclusiveness or indifference to quantity. "何回でも" means "no matter how many times / any number of times".

• 月夜照らされる横顔

  ➔ Passive Voice 〜される (sareru)

  ➔ The passive voice indicates that the subject receives the action. Here, "照らされる" (from 照らす - to illuminate) means "is illuminated" or "is shone upon". "月夜照らされる横顔" means "the profile illuminated by the moonlight".

• 心に君映るたび

  ➔ ~たび (tabi)

  ➔ 「〜たび」 (often written as 「〜度」) means "every time", "whenever", or "each time". It indicates that something happens repeatedly whenever a certain condition is met. "心に君映るたび" means "every time you appear in my heart".

• 正直になれずにずっと

  ➔ Verb Negative Stem + ずに (zu ni)

  ➔ 「ずに」 is a more formal or literary equivalent of 「〜ないで」. It means "without doing (something)" or "instead of doing (something)". "なれずに" (from なる, potential form なれる, negative なれない) means "without being able to become / without being honest".

• 溢れ落ちそうな祈り

  ➔ Verb Stem + そうな (souna)

  ➔ 「〜そう」 indicates that something "looks like," "appears to be," or "seems likely to happen." When modifying a noun, it takes the form 「〜そうな」. "溢れ落ちそうな" means "looks like it's about to overflow and fall down".

• ひとり泣かないよう

  ➔ Verb Negative + よう (you)

  ➔ 「〜よう」 expresses purpose, goal, or effort "so that (something happens)" or "in order to (do something)". When used with the negative form, it means "so that (something doesn't happen)" or "in order to avoid (doing something)". "泣かないよう" means "so that you don't cry".
