Lyrics

watashi watashi gokko nante iya da yo
kedo kirawareru no ga kowai no
karappo no watashi da isso kiete shimaitain da

kimi ni watashi ienai yo ne tomodachi no furi datte
"zutto issho da yo ne" nante uso wo tsuite
heiki ni waratten da

bunan na aizuchi wadai mo awasete hora kyou mo tanoshii ne
nigawarai ga chinmoku ga kowai kara
herahera to ikiten da

dakedo kiyou ni wa waraenakute
shigamitsuite fuan de ikiru imi tte nani?
dareka to sugoshita kyou sae hitoribocchi mitai da ne

watashi watashi gokko nante aa mou muri da yo
seikai no egao wo wadai wo kyoukan wo dareka oshiete yo
douse watashirashii watashi nante sa hora mijime na yowamushi dakara
mata nakama hazure desho?
karappo no watashi da isso kiete shimaitain da

kimi ni watashi ienai yo ne honne wa nomikonjatte
itai yatsu da mendou na yatsu datte kirawareru no ga ochi nan da

hora daremo watashi wo mite wa inakute
shagamikonda toki ni wa oite ikarete
heiki na kao wo tsukuru no sae dekinai kurai ni mou tsukarechatta

watashi watashi gokko nante aa mou muri da yo
tomodachi sae dare hitori shinjirenai jibun ga iya na no
douse watashirashii watashi nante sa daremo motomecha kurenai kara
mata nakama hazure da yo hitoribocchi da
hitoribocchi de mijime na watashi nan da

English Translation

I hate pretending to be me
But I'm afraid to be hated
I'm empty
I want to disappear

I can't tell you
It's pretending to be a friend
I lied, "You're always together."
I pretended to be laughing calmly

Safe conversation
Providing a topic that everyone likes
You see, it's fun today
I'm afraid of bitter smiles and silence
I'm Pretender

But I can't laugh dexterously
What does it mean to cling and live with anxiety?
I'm spending time with someone again today
But it's like being alone

I'm the limit of pretender
Please tell me the correct smile, the topic, and the empathy.
Because "real me" is a sissy
I'm afraid to be left out again
I'm empty
I want to disappear

I can't tell you
I swallow my true intentions
If I show my true self, I'll be treated as a nuisance
And I will be hated by everyone

I see, no one is looking at me
When I stop, I'm left behind
I can't even be a pretender anymore
I'm tired already

I'm the limit of pretender
I can't even believe my friends. I hate myself
No one wants me to be real
I'm out of the group again
I'm always alone
I'm alone and miserable
