Lyrics

Japanese (日本語歌詞)	Romaji (ローマ字)
僕がずっと前から思ってる事を話そうか	boku ga zutto mae kara omotteru koto o hanasou ka
友達に戻れたらこれ以上はもう望まないさ	tomodachi ni modoretara kore ijou wa mou nozomanai sa
君がそれでいいなら僕だってそれで構わないさ	kimi ga sore de ii nara boku datte sore de kamawanai sa
嘘つきの僕が吐いた　はんたいことばの愛のうた	usotsuki no boku ga haita hantai kotoba no ai no uta
今日はこっちの地方はどしゃぶりの晴天でした	kyou wa kocchi no chihou wa doshaburi no seiten deshita
昨日もずっと暇で一日満喫してました	kinou mo zutto hima de ichinichi mankitsu shite'mashita
別に君のことなんて考えてなんかいないさ	betsu ni kimi no koto nante kangaete nanka inai sa
いやでもちょっと本当は考えてたかもなんて	iya de mo chotto hontou wa kangaete'ta ka mo nante
メリーゴーランドみたいに回る	merii goo rando mitai ni mawaru
僕の頭ん中はもうグルグルさ	boku no atama n' naka wa mou guruguru sa
この両手から零れそうなほど	kono ryoute kara koboresou na hodo
君に貰った愛はどこに捨てよう？	kimi ni moratta ai wa doko ni suteyou?
限りのある消耗品なんて僕は	kagiri no aru shoumouhin nante boku wa
要らないよ	iranai yo
僕がずっと前から思ってる事を話そうか	boku ga zutto mae kara omotte'ru koto o hanasou ka
姿は見えないのに言葉だけ見えちゃってるんだ	sugata wa mienai no ni kotoba dake miechatte'ru n da
僕が知らないことがあるだけで気が狂いそうだ	boku ga shiranai koto ga aru dake de ki ga kuruisou da
ぶら下がった感情が 綺麗なのか汚いのか	burasagatta kanjou ga kirei na no ka kitanai no ka
僕にはまだわからず捨てる宛てもないんだ	boku ni wa mada wakarazu suteru ate mo nai n da
言葉の裏の裏が見えるまで待つからさ	kotoba no ura no ura ga mieru made matsu kara sa
待つくらいならいいじゃないか	matsu kurai nara ii ja nai ka
進む君と止まった僕の	susumu kimi to tomatta boku no
縮まらない隙を何で埋めよう？	chijimaranai suki o nani de umeyou?
まだ素直に言葉に出来ない僕は	mada sunao ni kotoba ni dekinai boku wa
天性の弱虫さ	tensei no yowamushi sa
この両手から零れそうなほど	kono ryoute kara koboresou na hodo
君に渡す愛を誰に譲ろう？	kimi ni watasu ai o dare ni yuzurou?
そんなんどこにも宛てがあるわけないだろ	sonna n' doko ni mo ate ga aru wake nai daro
まだ待つよ	mada matsu yo
もういいかい	mou ii kai
