[“騙シ愛 (Damashiai)” 歌詞]
[Intro]
騙し合いのこの世界で
信じられるものを探す
もう見失わないから
[Refrain]
(La-ta-ta-ta-ra-ta-ta-ta)
(La-ta-ta-ta-ra-ta-ta-ta)
(La-ta-ta-ta-ra-ta-ta-ta)
(La-ta-la)
[Verse 1]
どうして嘘をついてしまったの
どうして本当を話せないんだろう
あなたはどんな顔するでしょう
自分を守りたいだけじゃないの？
[Pre-Chorus]
望まない事ばかりだ
悲しそうな顔させてしまうわ
月の裏側も知らずに
夢だけ見ていたね, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
騙し愛の嘘の中で
信じられる物を探す
瞳が欲しい
まだ未来はわからないままだけど
心、裏切らないで
もう見失わないから
[Verse 2]
どうして嘘を覚えたんだろう
どうして本当を隠すのだろう
私は知らぬふりをするのでしょう
触れてしまうことが怖くなったの
[Pre-Chorus]
青いままで熟れた果実みたいに
気付かれもしないで
枯れてしまう前に
一口齧って欲しいだけ, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
騙し愛の闇の中で
触れたはずのぬくもりだけ
覚えている
まだ未来はわからないままだけど
心、裏切らないで
私を生きてくから
[Bridge]
藻掻くほど迷い込み
真実は零れてく
手に触れた感触を
覚えていられるか
[Chorus]
騙し合いのこの世界で
信じられる物を透かす
瞳が欲しい
まだ未来は何も決まっちゃいないよ
心、裏切らないで
[Post-Chorus]
手探りでいいよ
私を象ろう
いつか必ず出会うだろう同じ痛みを
分け合えるような貴方と出会うために
[Refrain]
(La-ta-ta-ta-ra-ta-ta-ta)
(La-ta-ta-ta-ra-ta-ta-ta)
(La-ta-ta-ta-ra-ta-ta-ta)
(La-ta-la)
