Lyrics

Japanese

イミテイションなんて　蹴飛ばして
この痛みは　ナイナイふりして
最後に笑う人は　誰でしょう？
急がば廻れ

僕は言いました「生きることに酷く疲れました。」
ハードルは　低くしておくものよ　覚えててネー

見たくないんだ　本当は
あたしはいつも　哀しいのよ
辛いニュースばかり　我慢できない

愛をもっと　自由をもっと　思い通りになんていかないものだわ
今はもっと　生きるmotto　歌いながらみつけられそうだね
あせらないで　この夜を　もっと　愛してね

Romaji

IMITATION nante ketobashite
kono itami wa nainai furi shite

isogaba maware

goku wa iimashita "ikiru koto ni hidoku tsukaremashita."
HURDLE wa hikuku shiteoku mono yo oboetete ne-

mitakunainda hontou wa
atashi wa itsumo kanashii no yo
tsurai NEWS bakari gaman dekinai

ai wo motto jiyuu wo motto omoidoori nante ikanai mono dawa
ima wa motto ikiru motto utainagara mitsukeraresou da ne
aseranaide kono yoru wo motto aishite ne

English

Kick away imitations
Pretend there’s none, none of this pain
Who’ll have the last laugh?
Slow and steady wins the race

I said “I’m horribly tired of life”
Learn how to make your hurdles lower

I don’t want to see the truth
I’m always sad
It’s all painful news, I can’t take it

More love, more freedom, things don’t go to plan
Now I’ll live more, as I sing more, I think I can find it
Don’t panic, love this night more
