大キライだったそばかすをちょっと

角砂糖と 一緒に溶けた

English Translation

I stroke these freckles of mine I used to hate oh so much
And heave a single little sigh
My heavyweight sized crush dissolved
Into nothing together with the sugar cubes
My heart is a little lighter than it used to be
Thanks to the aching thorn stuck into it
I can’t even count on my horoscope either
I wish we could have gone far away together
I would’ve been so happy with just that
The memories always appear so perfect
But that isn’t enough to fill me up
Honestly, I’m feeling awful tonight
I wonder why it is? I can’t even seem to remember his smile

I ruin it, then I try again. I know how it goes
Because that is just my personality
I’m so frustrated how vague things are between us now
But that doesn’t matter. I’ve fallen in love
I even went and pierced my left ear all by myself
Not a funny episode at all
I try counting how many freckles I have
While hugging my dirty stuffed animals
That thorn stuck in my heart won’t go away
But my bunny and my froggy
Will always smile for me

The memories always appear so perfect
But that isn’t enough to fill me up
Honestly, I’m feeling awful tonight
I wonder why it is? I can’t even seem to remember his tears
I can’t remember at all
Why can’t I?
