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.



NOTE

(1) 恋人 (koibito, ‘lover,’ ‘significant other’) is sung as 一番 (ichiban, ‘first, best’)
