Japanese

Just be friends All we gotta do
Just be friends It's time to say goodbye
Just be friends All we gotta do
Just be friends Just be friends Just be friends...

浮かんだんだ 昨日の朝 早くに
割れたグラス かき集めるような
これは一体なんだろう 切った指からしたたる滴
僕らはこんなことしたかったのかな

* 分かってたよ 心の奥底では
  最も辛い 選択がベスト
  それを拒む自己愛と 結果自家撞着の繰り返し
  僕はいつになれば言えるのかな

緩やかに朽ちてゆくこの世界で
足掻く僕の唯一の活路

色褪せた君の 微笑み刻んで 栓を抜いた

声を枯らして叫んだ 反響 残響 空しく響く
外された鎖の その先は なにひとつ残ってやしないけど

ふたりを重ねてた偶然 暗転 断線 儚く千々に
所詮こんなものさ 呟いた 枯れた頬に伝う誰かの涙

これでおしまいさ

All we gotta do Just be friends
It's time to say goodbye Just be friends
All we gotta do Just be friends
Just be friends Just be friends
