ねえどうして、そうやってあたしのこと馬鹿にして
Hey, why do you mock me like that?
優しさとか慰めとか与えようとするの？
Trying to offer kindness and comfort?
その度々に惨めな思いが湧いてきて
Every time it brings up feelings of misery,
どうしようもない気持ちになるってわかってないの？
Don't you realize I just can't help but feel this way?
色んな色で満ち溢れた街を歩いたって
Even if I walk through a city overflowing with colors,
色づかないあたしは灰色 どこへ行けばいいの？
I remain gray, where am I supposed to go?
自分の好きなように生きていけばいいって
I should be able to live as I please,
知っている筈なのにさ 忘れちゃうんだいつもいつもいつも
But I always forget, always, always, always.

Things I don't even want to remember,
ことがいつまでも消えないな
Just won't disappear, no matter how long.
ぐしゃぐしゃの頭の中
A messy mind inside my head
一つも整理がつかずに
Not a single thought could find its place
また思い出した
And I remembered once again
怖かったのに 辛かったのに
It was scary, it was tough
誰も信じてくれなかったのに
Yet no one believed in me
あなただけが その声だけが
Only you, just that voice
いつでも笑いかけてくれたのに
Always smiled back at me
カボチャの馬車もガラスの靴も似合わなくて
Neither pumpkin carriage nor glass slipper suits me
ただひたすら何事もない日々のあり合わせ
Just enduring the mundane days that come my way
この世界はどうも鮮やかすぎて目が眩む
This world is simply too vivid, it leaves me dazzled
色づけやしないあたしへのあてつけみたいで
It feels like a jab at me, as if I'm not allowed to change colors
もういいよ、どうなろうと何もかも知らないし
I don't care anymore; I don't know what's going to happen to anything
あなたのこと あたしのこと これからの全ても
About you, about me, everything that’s yet to come
「ねえ王子様、あたしの為に生きて」って言いたくて
"Hey, prince, I want to say, 'Live for me'"
言えなかった あの日の自分が嫌い嫌い嫌い
But I couldn't say it; I hate, hate, hate that past version of myself
何処へだって行けるような
As if I could go anywhere at all
自由なんてほしくはないな
But I don't really want that kind of freedom
あなたという不自由だけが
Only the bondage of you
あたしを自由にしていたんだって
Was what truly set me free
気づいてしまったんだ
I've come to realize it
痛む心 癒えないのは
My aching heart just won't heal,
無様なほどに期待してるから
It's because I expect so much, in such an awkward way.
あなただけに その声だけに
Only from you, only from your voice,
優しくされたかっただけだったのに
I just wanted to be treated gently.
「愛は永遠」って 誰かの誰かの誰かが言った
"Love is eternal," someone, anyone, said that.
それがもし本当なら いつまで苦しめばいいの？
If that were true, how long must I suffer?
12時を越えて ずっと消えないものがあるなんて
Even past midnight, there's something that won't disappear.
お願いよ もう消して 消して 消して 消して
Please, just erase it, erase it, erase it, erase it.
怖かったのに 辛かったのに
I was scared, I was hurting,
誰も信じてくれなかったのに
Yet no one would believe me.
あなただけが その声だけが
Only you, just that voice of yours
いつでも笑いかけてくれたのに
Always smiling at me, no matter the time
痛む心 癒えないのは
My aching heart, it won't heal
無様なほどに期待してるから
Because I'm hoping for it too desperately
あなただけに その声だけに
Only from you, just from that voice of yours
優しくされたかっただけだったのに
I just wanted to be treated gently
