Doushite darou
anata no yubi ga
watashi dake ni wa
kitanaku mieteru no.
    I wonder why it is
    that your fingers
    only look dirtied
    to me.

Dakara onegai
sono kitanai yubi de
watashi no karada sonna ni
nadenai de.
    That's why I beg of you
    with those dirty fingers
    don't stroke my body
    like that.

(Nande da yo?)
sorya sou desho. datte
(doushita n da yo?)
sono kotoba, anata ni ageru wa.
    (Tell me why?)
    Well that may be the case. I mean
    (What's wrong with you?)
    Those words, I give them to you.

Mata chigau sekai de
jibun dake mitashite
sore de nande shiranu kao de
watashi o aiseru no?
    Again in another world
    you only satisfy yourself
    And why do you let me love
    you while feigning ignorance?

Anata wa kyou mo mata
"Ai shiteru" ga kusatteru
datte.... (omae shika aisenai yo)
anata no kubisuji, hora, uso ga mieta.
    Once again today
    your "I love you" is rotting
    I mean.... (I can only love you)
    Look, I could see the lie on your neck
(1)

Majime na kao o shite
sono ki wa aru no ni
nande shite kurenai no?
kanashii kao
    With a serious face
    I have every intention so
    why won't you do it for me?
    A sad face

Onozomi naraba
namida gurai naraba
nakashite mo ii yo.
nanka soreppoi desho?
    If you so desire
    if it's tears you want then
    you can make me cry.
    It kinda feels like that doesn't it?

(Nakanai de) anata mo sou na no?
(hora, waratte) owari ni wa yasashii furi bakari
    (Don't cry) Are you the same?
    (Hey, smile) In the end all you do is pretend to be nice

Deteiku no mo ii kedo
nee, motteitte yo
nani mo kamo subete zenbu
omoide mo zenbu
    You can go ahead and leave
    Hey, take it with you
    Anything and everything, all of it
    All of our memories too

Anata ga iranai no wa
watashi mo iranai no
datte.... (mou yame ni shiyou na)
watashi no kubisuji ni mo uso wa aru no
    What you don't need
    I don't need either
    I mean.... (Let's just end it)
    There are also lies on my neck

Kowareta jikan ni modoreru nara
ima nara subete wakaru no ka na?
sono kotoba - shigusa - ai
    If I could go back into broken time
    Would I now be able to see it I wonder?
    Those words, motions, love

Nante kawaii furi shite
uso o kite aruite
nande darou machi no iro ga
kirei ni mieru no
sore wa watashi ga yogoreteiru kara?
na no?
    I act cute like that
    and walk while wearing my lies
    I wonder why the colour of the city
    looks so pretty
    Is it because I'm dirty?
    Could it be?

Demo sono sekai de shika
ikikata shiranai no
sabishii furi shite sugu ni
namida nagasu no
sureba hora kita.
tsugi no sekai ga
mata (sonna ni nakuna yo mou)
kimi no kubisuji, hora, tsuba o tsuketa.
    But I only know how to live
    in that world
    If I act like I'm sad right away
    I can shed tears
    When I do that, look, here it comes.
    The next world goes
    again (Don't cry like that, hey)
    Look, I left saliva on your neck.

Notes;
1) 'kubisuji' is an odd choice of words. It literally means the nape of your neck, or the back/scruff of your neck. I'm pretty sure it can also mean the lines that stand out on your neck. The idea being that when the 'liar' in the song lies they swallow out of habit or something and it shows.
