Listen to the title on YouTube.
A crafted lie, a cruel masquerade—
A hollow love mine to call dear.
In the lonely nights I’ve come to know
your shadow, your warmth tethered, won’t let go.
Time to clear the way, they say; toss your cigarettes still on the ashtray,
but my heart won’t let that day fade away.
You’re everything that I am not, volatile personality and whatnot;
Puppy eyes, spoiled child, you even got that selfish side.
I hate your naivety, your simple ways, how love’s a puzzle to interpret, twist an’ play.
Yet here I am, with you all day on my mind.
Every time your calls broke late night’s silence—
I confess, a nearly disgusting truth I hold—
I’d jump out of bed just to catch your voice.
Love me, love me away
Repeat it as I may, will my efforts pay?
‘I love you’ you say,
Aah, how sweet the lie tastes anyway.
If yesterday’s spell must fade with morning’s light
we can play pretend for a minute, be my only one if just for a sigh. (1)
Please stay close, please stay near,
I can fake it, your hollow heart now mine to call dear.
(1) 恋人 (koibito, ‘lover,’ ‘significant other’) is sung as 一番 (ichiban, ‘first, best’) ↑
