irony

駆け引きkakehikiなんてnanteさsa　恥hajiをwoかかないkakanaiためtameのno　陣取りjindoriゲームgeemuでしょうdeshou

Playing games with each other — it's just a territorial dispute to avoid embarrassment, isn't it

恋koiにni恋してるkoi shiteru　なんてnante本当hontouうまいumaiことkoto言ったittaもんだmondaよyoなあnaa

"In love with being in love" — what a perfectly clever thing to say

終電shuuden間際magiwaのno　優しさyasashisaなんてnante　空っぽkarappoだってdatte知っているshitte iru　お互いにotagai ni

We both know the kindness shown right before the last train is completely hollow

「"騙されてdamasareteあげたageta」"なんてnante本当hontouうまいumaiことkoto言ったittaもんだmondaよyoなあnaa

"I let myself be fooled" — what a perfectly clever thing to say

流行りものhayarimonoのnoラブソングrabu songu　どれdoreもmo全然zenzen　自分jibunにni当てはまらなくてatehamaranakute

Not a single trendy love song actually applies to me

不意fuiのno涙namidaがga　間抜けmanukeすぎてsugite　まるでmaru de笑えないwaraenaiやya

And these tears that come out of nowhere are so pathetic I can't even laugh

友tomoでもdemoないnai　恋人koibitoでもdemoないnai

Not friends, not lovers

ふたりfutariのno今imaにni名前namaeなんてnante無いnai　あえてaete言えばieba独占欲dokusenyoku

No name for where we are right now — if anything, it's just possessiveness

始まらないhajimaranai　目的地mokutekichiもmoないnai

Nothing has started, no destination in sight

でもdemo捨てられなくsuterarenakuなってるnatteruからkara　穴ana埋めるumeruだけdake

But I can't let go, so I just fill the space

手綱tazunaをwo取るtoruのnoはwaどちらdochira？?　実はjitsu wa全然zenzen　思いomoiのnoままmamaにniならなくてnaranakute

So who's really in control here? The truth is, neither of us is

ゲームgeemuのnoはずhazuがga　本気honki混じりmajiri　まさかmasakaのno恥ずかしさhazukashisa

What was supposed to be a game has real feelings mixed in — and it's embarrassingly unexpected

嫌いkiraiじゃjaないnai　好きsukiとtoはwa言えないienai

I don't hate you — but I can't say I like you

認めてmitometeしまえばshimaeba負けちゃうmakechauとかtoka　不毛fumouすぎるsugiru自問自答jimon jitou

Admitting it means losing — the most pointless cycle of self-questioning

切り出せないkiridasenai　面倒くさいmendoukusaiとto　捨てられるsuterareruのnoはwa耐えられないtaerarenaiからkara

Can't bring myself to say it, can't pretend it's too much trouble, can't stand being thrown away

繰り返すkurikaesuだけdake

So I just keep repeating it

友tomoでもdemoないnai　恋人koibitoでもdemoないnai

Not friends, not lovers

ふたりfutariのno今imaにni名前namaeなんてnante無いnai　あえてaete言えばieba独占欲dokusenyoku

No name for where we are right now — if anything, it's just possessiveness

始まらないhajimaranai　目的地mokutekichiもmoないnai

Nothing has started, no destination in sight

でもdemo捨てられなくsuterarenakuなってるnatteruからkara　穴ana埋めるumeruだけdake　繰り返すkurikaesuだけdake

But I can't let go, so I just fill the space — and keep repeating it

駆け引きkakehikiなんてnanteさsa　本気honkiにniなればnareba結局kekkyoku　意味imiがgaないnaiのにno niねne

Playing games with each other — when you're serious, it's all meaningless in the end, isn't it

恋koiにni恋してるkoi shiteru　なんてnante本当hontouうまいumaiことkoto言ったittaもんだmondaよyoなあnaa

"In love with being in love" — what a perfectly clever thing to say
