from Nee, kamatte? single.

“How are you?” I don’t know the answer, but…
Is it nosy to want to know, if you’re still grumpy in the mornings?
After the break-up, nothing’s changed for me… Just
My heart’s so frustrated, it’s stopped beating

Every time I get close to you
I get hurt, yet why do I still want to?

I’m prepared to dye the white rose red again and again
But under the full moon in this broken night
The petals slowly fall

“What are you doing?” I don’t ask that, but…
Is it nosy to want to know, if you’re still bad with phone calls?
I gave my answer after much deliberation, yet… Hey
I sleep with the glowing screen clutched to my chest

I know this will never work
Yet why does this sweet scent lull me to sleep?

I’m prepared to dye the white rose red again and again
But on this moonless, deep night
The stubborn petals still tremble

Cold and lonely, I rewrite those memories
And sacrifice them again. Is this the happiness I wanted?

Even today, humans whitewash love, calling it priceless
But under the full moon, before the night breaks
I’ll move on, goodbye
And thank you

「元気ですか?」僕は知れないけれど…
朝は今も苦手?なんて　おせっかいかな
別れ告げた僕は何も変わらず…　ただ
なぜか心もどかしくて止まっているよ

どうして君に近づく度
傷を負うのに求めるの?

白いバラは何度も　赤いバラに染まろうと覚悟を
でも月が満ちて　壊れだす夜に
花びら静かに　落ちてゆく

「何をしてる?」僕は聞けないけれど…
電話今も苦手?なんて　おせっかいかな
悩み悩み答え出したはずなのに…　ねぇ
光る画面かかえながら眠っているよ

どうしてダメとわかっているのに
甘い香りにまどろむ

白いバラは何度も　赤いバラに染まろうと覚悟を
でも月が消えた深くなる夜に
かたくなな花びら揺らぎだす

寒くて寂しくて　でも思い出書き換えて
また犠牲にしてゆく　これが望んでいた幸せ?

人は無償の愛だとか　綺麗事を並べるよ今日も
でも月が満ちて　壊れだす前に
僕はもう進むよ　さようなら
ありがとう
