Lyrics

Nee kiete shimatte mo sagashite kuremasu ka?	Hey, even if I vanished, would you search for me?
Kitto isogashikute MEERU utenai no ne	I’m sure you’re too busy to type out a text message
Sabishii toki ni wa yozora mitsumeru	When I feel lonely, I gaze at the night sky
Motto furimuite hoshii mukashi mitai ni	I’d like you to look back at me more, like you did in the past
Sunao ni iitaku naru no (dakedo iwanai no)	I want to say this sincerely (But I won't)
ZUKI ZUKI ZUKI itai	Throbbing, throbbing, throbbing pain
DOKI DOKI DOKI kodou ga karada tsutawaru	Pounding, pounding, pounding pulse travels through my body
Fumidashitara ushinaisou de dekinai	It feels like I’ll lose you if I take a step forward, so I can’t do it
Nee wasureteru furi sureba atte kuremasu ka?	Hey, if I pretend that I’ve forgotten about you, will you come see me?
Machitsuzukeru watashi MARIONETTO	I’ll keep waiting, for I am a marionette
Anata to hanarete shimau to mou odorenai	If I get separated from you, I won’t be able to dance anymore
Hora ne ito ga hotsuresou ni naru	Look, the strings are about to fray apart
Kokoro ga kowaresou da yo…	My heart is about to break…
Isso wakarebanashi sappari suru no ni ne	I'd feel better if you brought up breaking up
Kurushii toki ni wa asa ga mabushii	When I’m suffering, the morning seems blindingly bright
Sotto kaban taguriyose omoitsumete mo	Even if I quietly pull up my bag and brood over it
Tochuu de hourinageteru	I’m throwing it away halfway through
JIRI JIRI JIRI kogasu	Scorching, scorching, scorching with impatience
GIRI GIRI GIRI sonna kakehiki kowai yo	Being on the edge, edge, edge, a strategy like that is scary
Fumidashitara koukai nante dekinai	If I take a step forward, I can’t regret doing it
Nee kiete shimatte mo sagashite kuremasu ka?	Hey, even if I vanished, would you search for me?
Yukuate mo nai watashi MARIONETTO	I have no place to go, for I am a marionette
Anata ni kimochi todokanai Ah modokashii	My feelings can’t reach you, Ah, it’s so frustrating
Hora ne namida hitotsubu mo denai	Look, I won’t shed a single drop of tear
Kokoro ga kowaresou da yo…	My heart is about to break…
Kiresou ni natta ito wa mou modoranai yo	The strings that were about to snap won’t be back
Dakedo yuuki nakute mitomenai no	But, lacking in courage, I won’t recognize
Sude ni samete shimatta koto	that I’ve already woken up
Nee mada watashi no koto mitsumete kuremasu ka?	Hey, will you still look at me?
Nani mo dekinai sore ga MARIONETTO	I can’t do anything, for that’s what a marionette is
Anata ni kimochi todokanai Ah modokashii	My feelings can’t reach you, Ah, it’s so frustrating
Hora ne namida hitotsubu mo denai	Look, I won’t shed a single drop of tear
Kokoro ga kowaresou da yo…	My heart is about to break…
