Lyrics

Japanese

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」

Romaji

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"
