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!

Video Production Information
