|---|---|---|---|
| お前のためにやってやるよ | omae no tame ni yatte yaru yo | I’ll do it for you | I’ve got you, leave it to me |
| おつかれ また今日も準備した中の中の下笑顔で | otsukare mata kyou mo junbi shita chuu no chuunoge egao de | Good job, today, once again I prepared a below average smile | Welcome home, another day, another day with that hardly barely there of a smile |
| 限界シカトして 頑張ってたんだな | genkai shikato shite ganbatteta nda na | By ignoring your limit, you did your best | Keeping things at bay, you’re doing your best |
| 「まだまだ…」って、いや無理だろ 壊れちまう | "madamada…" tte, iya muri daro kowarechimau | “Not yet...” No! That’s impossible, right? You’re going to break | “No I need to do more...” say what? You’re going to break |
| 産声をあげたもうひとりの俺が 全部背負うから | ubugoe o ageta mou hitori no ore ga zenbu seou kara | Now, the newborn me will carry everything | Me, the newborn other you I’ll take it all on |
| 望んでいなくても 今更追い出せない | nozonde inakute mo imasara oidasenai | Even if you wish for it, you can’t get rid of me now | Doesn’t matter if you didn’t wish for it Can’t get rid of me now |
| ふたりぼっちで ほっとしただろ 俺が守るよ | futaribocchi de hotto shita daro ore ga mamoru yo | Just the two of us, that’s a relief, right? I’ll protect you | Just the two of us, relieved aren’t you? I’ll protect you |
| ただ夢を見ていたんだよ それを赦さないんだろう？ | tada yume o mite ita nda yo sore o yurusanain darou? | All I did was dream, and for that I was unforgiven, it seems? | All I did was dream And that’s what you found GUILTY? |
| “嘘付きだ”なんて言って 悪者になってなんで | "usotsuki da" nante itte warumono ni natte nande | Saying “He’s a liar”, and made me a scoundrel, why? | “He’s a liar” you said and made me out to be a scoundrel, why? |
| なあ俺が救ったハズだろう なのになんで泣いてんだよ | naa ore ga sukutta hazu darou nanoni nande naite nda yo | Hey, I saved you, right? So why are you crying? | Hey now, I saved you right? So why in the hell are you crying? |
| “救世主”だって縋って 感謝を歌って立って それがいい | "kyuuseishu" datte sugatte kansha o utatte tatte sore ga ii | Cling to me as your “savior”. Sing your gratitude, stand up. That’d be good | Cling to me, hoist me up as your “savior” Stand up and sing your gratitude That’d be good |
| おつかれ また今日も準備した中の中の下笑顔で | otsukare mata kyou mo junbi shita chuu no chuunoge egao de | Good job, today, once again I prepared a below average smile | Welcome home, another day, another day with that hardly barely there of a smile |
| なあ無理してばかり もう壊れてんのに | naa muri shite bakari mou kowareten noni | Hey, you’re doing the impossible. You’re already broken | You’re overdoing it, you’re already broken |
| それでもって続けるなら バランス取りは俺の仕事か | soredemo tte tsuzukeru nara baransu tori wa ore no shigoto ka | But if you continue, I guess it’s my job to balance it out | But if you persist, I guess it’s my job to keep things on an even keel |
| もうひとりの俺が 全部背負うから | mou hitori no ore ga zenbu seou kara | Now, the other me will carry everything | Me, the other you I’ll take it all on |
| あっ、もしもし母さん？ 久しぶり | ah, moshimoshi kaasan? hisashiburi | Ah, hello mom? It’s been a while | Oh, hello? Mom? It’s been a while |
| うん…まあ～しんどいこともあるけど…なんとかやれてるよ、大丈夫 | un… maa~ shindoi koto mo aru kedo… nantoka yareteru yo, daijoubu | Yeah… well, sometimes it can be tiresome, but I managed to get through it, it’s okay | Yeah.. well, I mean, some days are hard but I’m doing alright, don’t worry |
| そっちは元気してる？ 次の休みはちゃんと帰るね | socchi wa genki shiteru? tsugi no yasumi wa chanto kaeru ne | How are you doing? I’ll go home to visit when my next day off comes | How’ve you been? I’ll go home next time I get some time off |
| わからないのに ここにいる理由さえ | wakaranai noni koko ni iru riyuu sae | I don’t even know why I’m here | I don’t even know, the reason that I’m here |
| “嘘付きだ”なんて言って 悪者になってなんで | "usotsuki da" nante itte warumono ni natte nande | Saying “He’s a liar”, and made me a scoundrel, why? | “He’s a liar” you said and made me out to be a scoundrel, why? |
| ただ夢を見ていたんだよ それで赦すでいいだろう？ | tada yume o mite ita nda yo sore de yurusu de ii darou? | All I did was dream, so it’s fine to forgive me, right? | All I did was dream So you find me INNOCENT, it’s that simple right? |
| 正直者って知って 後悔を飲んで呑んで | shoujiki mono tte shitte koukai o nonde nonde | Knowing that I’m an honest person, drink and swallow the regret | Come to know me as an honest man Eat your words, gulp them down |
| なあ俺は救いたかったんだよ なのになんでこうなるんだよ | naa ore wa sukuitakattan da yo nanoni nande kou naru nda yo | Hey, I wanted to save you, but why it became like this? | Hey, I just wanted to save you So why did it come to this? |
| “救世主”だって縋って 感謝を歌って立って それなのに | "kyuuseishu" datte sugatte kansha o utatte tatte sore nanoni | Cling to me as your “savior”. Sing your gratitude, stand up. And yet- | Cling to me, hoist me up as your “savior” Stand up and sing your gratitude So why |
| 覚えてないんだよ しょうがない ダブルなんだ | oboetenai nda yo shouganai daburu nanda | I don’t remember, it couldn’t be helped, since I’m a double | I don’t remember a thing It couldn’t be helped, I’m DOUBLE (MeMe) |
| 苦しかったんだよ あんなに頑張ってたんだよ | kurushikatta nda yo annani ganbatteta nda yo | It’s painful, I worked so hard for it | I was having such a hard time I was trying so hard |
| なんで なんで 俺が生まれてこなけりゃこんな | nande nande ore ga umarete konakerya konna | Why? Why? If only I haven’t been born like this | Why, why If only I were never born, if only |
| なんで なんで ごめんなさい | nande nande gomennasai | Why? Why? I’m sorry | Why, why I’m so sorry |
