ヒトリゴトだよ 恥ずかしいこと聞かないでよね
キミのことだよ でもその先は言わないけどね
掛け違えてるボタンみたいなもどかしさを
解けないまま また難しくしようとしてる
伝えたい気持ちは今日も 言葉になる直前に 変換ミスの連続で
ため息と一緒に飲み込んでは ほろ苦い
ふとしたときに探しているよ
キミの笑顔を探しているよ
無意識の中その理由はまだ言えないけど
一人でいると会いたくなるよ
誰といたって会いたくなるよ
たった一言ねえどうして 言えないその言葉 言えないこの気持ち
早く気づいて欲しいのに
1000ピースあるパズル見たいな選択肢と
想像力が判断力の邪魔をしちゃう
つかめない気持ちは今日も 可愛くない顔見せて
自己嫌悪下す後悔で
溜め込んだごめんねを吐き出すには ほど遠い
耳をすませば聞こえてくるよ
キミの声だけ聞こえてくるよ
雑踏の中気づかないフリしていいけど
隣にいると嬉しくなるよ
遠くにいると寂しくなるよ
単純なことでもどうして 言えないその言葉 言えないこの気持ち
もっと素直になりたい
泣き出しそうな空模様 頬に一粒雨かな?
不安定な心重ね隠した ヒトリゴトに全部隠して
キミのことホントはずっと
ふとしたときに探しているよ
キミの笑顔を探しているよ
無意識の中その理由はまだ言えないけど
一人でいると会いたくなるよ
誰といたって会いたくなるよ
たった一言ねえどうして 言えないその言葉 言えないこの気持ち
早く気づいて欲しいのに

Translation of the Song

Me talking to myself, don’t listen it’s embarrassing!
It’s about you! But I won’t say anything more than that!
I’m so frustrated, like my switched buttons.
It's not possible to discover that, I'm just doing the hardest things.
Once again, the feelings I want to express go through a series of mistakes before they become words.
Swallowing along with a sigh is bittersweet.
I'm looking occasionally, I'm looking for your smile.
This happens unconsciously, I still can't say what the reason is.
I'm always alone, suddenly I want to meet you! It doesn't matter with whom, I want to meet you!
It's just a single word, why? I can't say those words!
I can't express those feelings! I wish you would hurry and realize you're alone.
The choices I have are like 1000 pieces of a puzzle.
Combined with my imagination, they prevent me from deciding!
This feeling I can't control
Shows its unappealing side once again!
With all my self-hatred + regrets,
I'm far from saying the apologies I've been gathering...
If I listen carefully, I can hear!
I hear nothing but your voice!
Although with all this turmoil I'm pretending not to notice.
When I'm by your side, I feel so happy!
When you are far away, I feel so sad!
It's such a simple thing, so why...? Ahh...
I can't say the words!
I can't tell you this feeling!
Ahh... I want to follow my heart...
The sky seems to be about to cry...
I feel a drop on my face... is it raining?
I hid my indecisive heart under my umbrella—
I hid everything behind the words I spoke to myself.
The truth is, I always... Ah...
I am looking before I even realize—
I am looking for your smile!
This happens unconsciously so I can't even tell you why.
When I'm alone, I start to want to see you!
It doesn't matter who I'm with, I start to want to see you!
It's just a simple phrase, so why...?
Ahh... I can't say the words!
I can't tell you this feeling! Ahh...
I just wish you would notice soon!
