[音楽]

I'll make you cry, so I guess we can't be together

I'll make you cry, so I want you to forget me soon

As humans, we sometimes want to try different things

I'll make you cry, yes, I'll make you cry

But it's just not satisfying

I want to see you

I don't want to see anyone else

How selfish of me

It's all so ambiguous

Can't you prove the existence of love?

No matter how many nights we spend together, it's still not enough

何十回の夜を過ごしたって得られぬような

Let's line up the words "I love you"

No matter how many nights we spend together, it's still not enough

Let's have the best full course

[music]

I'll make you cry, it's probably impossible for a lifetime

I'll make you cry, my heart hurts so much

As humans, we sometimes can't understand each other

I'll make you cry, yes, I'll make you cry again

But I'm not confident

I don't want to change

I don't want to see anyone else

How selfish of me

It's all so ambiguous

Can't you prove the existence of love?

Even though you're right there

No matter how many nights we spend together, it's still not enough

Let's line up the words "I love you"

No matter how many nights we spend together, it's still not enough

Let's have the best full course

You were the only one who stayed by my side

In the end, it was just you

The spice of tears will probably remain in your heart

But

No matter how many nights we spend together, it's still not enough

I'll line up the words "I love you"

No matter how many nights we spend together, it's still not enough

Let's have the best full course

No matter how many nights we spend together, it's still unforgettable

I'll line up the words "I love you"

No matter how many nights we spend together, it's still unforgettable

Let's have the best full course

[音楽]

君を泣かすから　だから一緒には居れないな

君を泣かすから　早く忘れて欲しいんだ

人間だからね　たまには違うものも食べたいね

君を泣かすから　そう君を泣かすから

でも味気ないんだよね

会いたくなんだよね

君以外会いたくないんだよね

なんて勝手だね

大体曖昧なんだよね

愛の存在証明なんて

君が教えてくれないか

何十回の夜を過ごしたって得られぬような

愛してるを並べてみて

何十回の夜を過ごしたって得られぬような

最高のフルコースを頂戴

[音楽]

君を泣かすから　きっと一生は無理だよね

君を泣かすから　胸がとても痛くなんだ

人間だからね　たまには分かり合えなくなって

君を泣かすから　また君を泣かすから

でも自信がないんだよね

変わりたくないんだよね

君以外会いたくないんだよね

なんて勝手だね

大体曖昧だったよね

愛の存在証明なんて

君がそこに居るのにね

何百回の夜を過ごしたって得られぬような

愛してるを並べてみて

何百回の夜を過ごしたって得られぬような

最高のフルコースを頂戴

離れないで　傍に居てくれたのは

結局君一人だったよね

涙のスパイスは君の胸に

残ってしまうだろうけど

何千回の夜を過ごしたって得られぬような

愛してるを並べるから

何千回の夜を過ごしたって得られぬような

最高のフルコースを

何万回の夜を過ごしたって忘れぬような

愛してるを並べるから

何万回の夜を過ごしたって忘れぬような

最高のフルコースを頂戴

[音楽]
