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

Me talking to myself, don't listen, it's embarrassing!
And about you! But I will say no more than that!
I'm just as frustrated as my switched buttons.
You can't find that out, I'm just making things more difficult.
Once again, the feelings I want to tell suffer a series of mistakes before they become words.
Swallowing with sigh is bittersweet.
I'm looking occasionally, I'm looking for your smile
It happens unconsciously, I still can't say why.
I'm always alone, suddenly I want to find you! No matter who, I want to meet you!
It's just a single word, why? I can't say those words!
I can't say these feelings! I wanted you to hurry up and find yourself alone.
The choices I have are like 1000 pieces of a puzzle.
Combined with my imagination, they prevent me from deciding!
This feeling that I can't control
Show your unattractive side once again!
With all my hatred of myself + regrets,
I am far from saying the excuses I have been collecting…
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 beside you, I'm so happy!
When you're away, I get so sad!
It is 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 umbrellas—
I hid everything behind the words I spoke to myself.
The truth is, I always… Ah…
I'm looking before I even realize—
I'm looking for your smile!
It happens unconsciously so I can't even tell you why.
When I'm alone, I start wanting to see you!
No matter who I'm with, I start wanting to see you!
It's just a simple sentence, so why…?
Ahh… I can't say the words!
I can't tell you this feeling! Ahh…
I just wanted you to notice soon!
