Lyrics
If you run away I won't ask you to stay You can do whatever makes you happy I won't bother you again If you tell me what you mean When you said that I just drive you crazy Why don't you say it right to my face then That you want to be more than just friends Come on now then Say what you mean Life isn't fair And love isn't clean I don't care How lonely you've been Open your mouth And say what you mean Why don't you wake up and just face the fact That you're afraid I won't call you back Come on now then Say what you mean Maybe it's wrong And maybe obscene Leave it on my Message machine Do me a favour Say what you mean Don't avoid it Don't play the queen Don't go pretend you're Pristine and green Like an actress Playing a scene Just let it go And say what you mean

Song Production Information
Toshio Sakurai
A graphic designer told me, "Sakurai, what young people are playing in bands these days is melo core, melo core", and I thought it was a lie. I went to a music venue, and found out that it was true. I played live at that time, too, and the boys playing melo core with me looked fresh and happy. Besides, the girls in the audience were cute (laughs). I thought that this was the only way to do it (laughs). Also, Thomas plays the role of a young vocalist beautifully. Thanks to designer SAORI!
