[Verse 1]
I’m not even a little bit unhappy
I’m not so much of an idiot that I wouldn’t even notice that
No, no, if you bottle up your feelings
You won’t come to understand those plain pains or bitterness
No matter what I do, no matter how it turns out
I’ll still be satisfied either way
All alone, the thoughts going around in my head all night seem like they’re about to explode
[Pre-Chorus]
These super-duper normal, average thoughts
Make me a self-styled crazy person (lolol)
But I’m able to live a healthy life with this abnormal mind
All thanks to you
[Chorus]
I’m not lonely!
Not lonеly at all!
Even though I get that, this hunger for lovе won’t disappear
I want to be fooled by you!
I really want to be fooled by you!
Even knowing that this belief and love I have for you is a lie
Let’s live cleanly and properly
[Verse 2]
I don’t want to blame anyone else
But if I take on that much it’ll ruin my health
Both morning and night, twice a day
I’m hoping to be saved by that, like an idiot
Saying that I hate this, that I don’t want to do it anymore
But even still, I’m clinging to it before I realize
The seal of death is on my face, reading
“It’s still better than being dead”
[Pre-Chorus]
This pure, innocent little f-cker
Won’t stay obedient forever
The view of an old man, an arbitrary opinion—
They’re both insane
[Chorus]
I’m not honest!
Not honest at all!
Even still, I can’t join in with these normal days
I honestly just want to be swept away!
I really want to be swept away!
So that I won't miss the last train to a happy ending
I’ll start running with nothing more than the clothes I’m wearing
[Break]
I’m still, still chasing that
Simple, clear blue picture
I simply want to live without
Being scorned by that pure heartedness, but, but…
[Bridge]
Sleeping through the night and waking up in the morning, simply repeating that
I must have had hopes and dreams, but I suddenly realized this was all that was left
But how long can I go on while dedicating everything I have to that one thing?
Ah, the world may as well laugh at this coward from the bottom of its heart
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m not lonely!
Not lonely at all, but…
R.I.P
[Chorus]
I’m not lonely!
Not lonely at all!
Even though I get that, this hunger for love won’t disappear
I want to be fooled by you!
I really want to be fooled by you!
Even if the chain binding me to this life is getting weak
Let’s cheerfully fall together
