Lyrics

Japanese

無敵の笑顔で荒らすメディア
知りたいその秘密ミステリアス
抜けてるとこさえ彼女のエリア
完璧で嘘つきな君は
天才的なアイドル様

今日何食べた？
好きな本は？
遊びに行くならどこに行くの？
何も食べてない
それは内緒
何を聞かれても
のらりくらり

そう淡々と
だけど燦々と
見えそうで見えない秘密は蜜の味
あれもないないない
これもないないない
好きなタイプは？
相手は？
さあ答えて

「誰かを好きになることなんて私分からなくてさ」
嘘か本当か知り得ない
そんな言葉にまた一人堕ちる
また好きにさせる

誰もが目を奪われていく
君は完璧で究極のアイドル
金輪際現れない
一番星の生まれ変わり
その笑顔で愛してるで
誰も彼も虜にしていく
その瞳がその言葉が
嘘でもそれは完全なアイ

いつかきっと全部手に入れる
私はそう欲張りなアイドル
等身大でみんなのこと
ちゃんと愛したいから
今日も嘘をつくの
この言葉がいつか本当になる日を願って
それでもまだ
君と君にだけは言えずにいたけど
やっと言えた
これは絶対嘘じゃない
愛してる

English

Couldn't beat her smile, it stirred up all the media Secret side, I wanna know it, so mysterious Even that elusive side, part of her controlled area Complete and perfect, all you say is a bunch of lies Dear miss genius idol, unmatched What did you eat today? What book do you love? Whenever you go out for fun, tell me, where do you go? Haven’t eaten anything It's a secret, unknown Any questions you're facing Always acting so vaguely So unconcerned although you brightly glow Any seemingly unveiled secrets are as sweet as honey Confusing, why, why, why? Essential lie, lie, lie So, what is your type of guy? Any partner? So, now, answer this "I don't have any idea how I could love anyone” “I don't seem to know what it signifies" Cannot find out if it's true or it's a lie Once again, there's somebody who's fallen for the words and cues Made him lose his head over you That emotion melts all hearts, all eyes on you Cause you are perfect, the most ultimate idol Unrivaled, will not appear again It's the brightest star reborn, yes, indeed Using that smiling face That "I love you" again Now, everybody is lured and captivated by you The pupil that you got The words you vocalize Even when untrue, it’s your perfected Ai One day, I will hold everything that I pursue Yes, I am so greedy, true voracious idol So, sincerely, what I'm wishing for is to love each of you with all my heart And so, today, I lie again The words I vocalize inside of me I'm wishing that one day they come true Up to this day, I've not been able to let you And you hear me saying those meaningful words I said it at last I know it's not a lie as I'm voicing these words I love you
