Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

想像ができる

I can imagine

ひとりで居ること

being alone

2日目の湯船も

even the bathwater on the second day

透き通っているんだろう

is transparent, I suppose

あなたが居ない風に話すのも

talking to you as if you're here

5日目で慣れるだろう

I'll get used to it by the fifth day

バレずに過ごすだろう

I'll spend my days without being noticed

そんな悲しいことばかりを考える隙間があるのも

even the gaps where I think of sad things

悲しいことだね 今までもね

are sad, just like before

そんなことの繰り返しだったかい

was it just a repetition of such things?

これが最後の恋でも

even if this is the last love

理解はできるだろう

I can understand

せめて それまでは

at least until then

ふたりで ふたりで

let's live, deceiving ourselves, together

たぶらかして生きていよう

pretending to be okay

ダメに成る時は成るでしょう

when it's no use, it's no use

せめて それまでは ふたり

at least until then, together

立ちながら寝れる

I can sleep standing up

そんな冗談に

such a joke

笑えてた 1 年目を

made me laugh, the first anniversary

ふと思い出して 笑う

I suddenly remembered and laughed

今は正しい 答えもまだ

now, I still can't find the right answer

見つけられないまま居座って

and I'm stuck, unable to move

居づらくなっては

it's getting harder to stay

飛び出してく

and I want to run away

そんなことの繰り返しなんだよな

it's just a repetition of such things

壊れちゃった妄想の

I stepped on the fragments of my broken delusions

破片を踏んづけて

and cried in pain

痛みで 泣いたんだ

your heart, your heart

あなたの あなたの

which you broke

破いてしまった心

can be mended if possible

縫い繋げられるのなら

at least for now, let's be together

せめてとりあえず ふたり

pretending to be okay

誰もが夢を見る 幸せのラストを

everyone dreams of a happy ending

望み通りに進めるほど

but you're not that easy to understand

あなたは簡単じゃない

even if this is the last love

これが最後の恋でも

これが最後の恋でも

理解はできるだろう

I can understand

せめて それまでは

at least until then

ふたりで ふたりで

let's live, deceiving ourselves, together

たぶらかして生きていよう

pretending to be okay

ダメに成る時は成るでしょう

when it's no use, it's no use

せめて それまでは ふたり

at least until then, together

想像ができる

I can imagine

ひとりで居ること

being alone

2日目の湯船も

even the bathwater on the second day

透き通っているんだろう

is transparent, I suppose

• 2日目の湯船も

  ➔ 'の' indicating possession or attribution, connecting '2日目' (second day) to '湯船' (bathtub)
