== Lyrics ==
=== Japanese ===
<pre>君とのラブストーリー
それは予想通り
いざ始まればひとり芝居だ
ずっとそばにいたって
結局ただの観客だ

感情のないアイムソーリー
それはいつも通り
慣れてしまえば悪くはないけど
君とのロマンスは人生柄
続きはしないことを知った

もっと違う設定で　もっと違う関係で
出会える世界線　選べたらよかった
もっと違う性格で　もっと違う価値観で
愛を伝えられたらいいな　そう願っても無駄だから

グッバイ
君の運命のヒトは僕じゃない
辛いけど否めない　でも離れ難いのさ
その髪に触れただけで　痛いや　いやでも
甘いな　いやいや
グッバイ
それじゃ僕にとって君は何？
答えは分からない　分かりたくもないのさ
たったひとつ確かなことがあるとするのならば
「君は綺麗だ」</pre>

=== Romaji ===
<pre>kimi to no LOVE STORY
sore wa yosou doori
iza hajimareba hitorishibai da
zutto soba ni itatte
kekkyoku tada no kankyaku da

kanjou no nai I'M SORRY
sore wa itsumo doori
narete shimaeba waruku wa nai kedo
kimi to no ROMANCE wa jinsei gara
tsuzuki wa shinai koto wo shitta

motto chigau settei de motto chigau kankei de
deaeru sekaisen erabetara yokatta
motto chigau seikaku de motto chigau kachikan de
ai wo tsutaeraretara ii na sou negattemo muda dakara

GOOD BYE
kimi no unmei no hito wa boku janai
tsurai kedo inamenai demo hanare gatai no sa
sono kami ni fureta dake de itai ya iya demo
amai na iya iya
GOOD BYE
sore ja boku ni totte kimi wa nani?
kotae wa wakaranai wakaritaku mo nai no sa
tatta hitotsu tashika na koto ga aru to suru no naraba
"kimi wa kirei da"</pre>
