忘れっぽいんだ

I'm forgetful, you see

忘れっぽいんだ

I'm forgetful, you see

あなたがしてくれたあれもこれも

I've even forgotten all the things you did for me

忘れちゃったな

I've forgotten, haven't I?

ぬるい水の中が心地良い内に

As I sink into the lukewarm water, feeling so comfortable

今までありがとう

Thank you for everything up until now

急に浮いた言葉で

Suddenly, the words that came to mind

今、私たちじゃなくなった

Now, we're no longer us

肌色が下手な芝居に溶けて

My skin tone blends in with the poor acting

もっと薄くなった

And becomes even thinner

どうやって茶化してたっけ

How did I used to make fun of it?

I'm forgetful, you see

I'm forgetful, you see

あなたがしてくれたあれもこれも

I've even forgotten all the things you did for me

忘れちゃったな

I've forgotten, haven't I?

ぬるい水の中でちと溺れてる内に

As I'm slightly drowning in the lukewarm water

...

...

瞬きの回数が増える

The number of times I blink increases

5億回のうち何回が

Out of 500 million times, how many times

幸せを邪魔するんだろう

Do I get in the way of happiness?

甘えちゃったな

I've become too dependent, haven't I?

甘えちゃったな

I've become too dependent, haven't I?

見逃したあなたの優しさにも

Even the kindness you showed me, which I overlooked

思い出したって

Even if I remember it now

今はもう捨てるだけの陽炎だから

It's just a fleeting illusion that I can only discard now

いらなかったんだ

It was unnecessary

今気付いたって

Even if I realize it now

最愛の意味を失っただけ

I've only lost the meaning of my dearest

忘れっぽいんだ

I'm forgetful, you see

やり直せたら良いのにな

If only I could start over

都合のいい欲を抱えて

With a convenient desire

暮れなずむ心模様

My heart is fading away

あなたはちゃんと背を向けて

You turned your back on me properly

私はちゃんとできなくて

And I couldn't look at you properly

I'm forgetful, you see

ぬるい水の中でちと溺れてたら

As I'm slightly drowning in the lukewarm water

今私を抱きしめてよ

Please hold me now

これが最後の足掻きだと知ってる

I know this is my last struggle

今頃やっと最愛を濡らした独り言のような涙

Now, I've finally shed tears, like a lonely monologue, for the love I've finally realized

忘れっぽいんだ

I'm forgetful, you see

忘れっぽいんだ

I'm forgetful, you see

でも覚えてんだ

But I still remember

私たちじゃなくなったことは

The fact that we're no longer us

目を閉じるたび背中を押せそうな距離でね

Is a distance where I can close my eyes and feel like I'm being pushed from behind
