Hayatochiri
words by Utada Hikaru

Japanese

Sorosoro heya kara dete oide
Itsumade tatte mo kienai kara "jijitsu"
Tsumazuku sugata wo mirareta toki no you ni
FOROO sureba ii no ka na

Daitai kimi mo zurui ja nai kai
(Oseji ja nai yo)
Aitai
Mata watashi no hayatochiri

Omowaseburi dewa sukarete shimau yo?
Usotsuki na dake dewa kirawarechau yo?
(You said my love don't mean a thing. How much I love you.
That's 'cause you don't know how much I love you)

Karakara ni natta taiyou wa
Mainichi ame wo nozonde iru no ka mo
Sou kangaereba furareta kibun datte
Warukunain ja nai ka na

"Katenai you na ki ga shita
Omae wa itsumo tsuyoi shi
Nakanai"
Sore wa kimi no kanchigai

Jitai wo rikai shite shimatta toki ni
Risou shugi no riron nante urusai
(You said my love don't mean a thing. How much I love you.
That's 'cause you don't know how much I love you)

Samenaide
Machigatta sokudo de hashittetan ja nai
Tada konkai wa sa
Chotto hohaba ga awanakatta dake

Yume kara sameta ato mata nemuritai yo
Genjitsu shugisha niwa wakaranai darou
(You said my love don't mean a thing. How much I love you.
That's 'cause you don't know how much I love you)

Zuibun hanashi ga chigau ja nai kai
Ima sugu iya nara asu ni BAIBAI
That's the way it is
Itsumade matte mo son na dake nara
Denaoshite kuru yo, ima wa BAIBAI
That's the way it is

English

I'll quickly leave my room
Because even if I stand forever, "the truth" won't disappear
Just like the time I was seen stumbling
I wonder if it would be better to follow

You're always so unfair
(That's not just flattery)
I want to see you
It's just me jumping to conclusions again

Will I become loved just dropping hints?
Will I be hated just for being a liar?
(You said my love don't mean a thing. How much I love you
That's 'cause you don't know how much I love you)

The sun that's gone bone dry
Might be wishing for rain everyday
The feeling of believing that and getting rained on
Isn't a bad thing, is it?

"I feel like I can't win
You're always so strong
And you don't cry"
That's your mistake

The time I understood the situation
You're theories of idealism are irritating
(You said my love don't mean a thing. How much I love you
That's 'cause you don't know how much I love you)

Don't blame me
Weren't you running at the wrong pace?
It's just that this time
Our strides didn't quite match

After awaking from a dream, I want to sleep again
Realists probably wouldn't understand
(You said my love don't mean a thing. How much I love you
That's 'cause you don't know how much I love you)

We aren't really talking about the same things, are we?
If it gets unpleasant, let's say bye-bye to tomorrow
That's the way it is
If I'm gonna lose no matter how long I wait
I'll start again, and say bye-bye to now
That's the way it is
