English Translation

Ah, well of course you chose him
Instead of me
As is your fate, you can go on
To live unhappily ever after with him

Just kidding
But someday somewhere
You might realize that you should have chosen me
But then again, maybe not

If it was going to be like this, I should have been more selfish
About being in love with you

I always miss the chance to tell you
The size of the kaiju inside my heart
How huge it really is
What you saw was only a portion

There’s a kaiju in there
Just standing frozen
Not being able to destroy anything
And hollering from the center of my body he occupies
“No! No!” He says, “Give her to me!”

Yeah, when I fell for you
I didn’t want you to hate me
So that fear turned me into some boring guy
No, actually I’ve been dull since before I met you

The silly me and kind me, my scars and fangs
And the dishonest me
I guess I should have shown you every part of me

All the letters I wrote to you
They’re still inside my heart
And now it’s too late to give them to you
But each of them was a masterpiece

The only signal I can send you
To get you into my arms
Must be the same
For Godzilla, Kanegon, or me
“No! No!”
I should have hollered, “Give her to me!”
