Spoiler:

Watching your smile, being at a distance, that’s all I need
If we’re friends, it’s not strange to be close to you
Watching as they fall for you
What am I supposed to do during these nights that invite these unbreakable feelings?

Your kindness and ability to pretend like you haven’t noticed
Makes me want to cry

Oh we’ll never be able to be friends, never be friends Oh
Oh because I just wanna touch you oh
Oh we’ll never be able to be friends, never be friends Oh
Because if I can’t be your #1 then there’s no point Oh

If only I were to divulge the inner workings of my chest… no that’d be impossible
Even though I can lie very well, my heart is stupidly honest

I want to kiss you, I don’t need things like hugs
Let me have one kiss
In the end…

Oh we’ll never be able to be friends, never be friends Oh
Oh because I can’t help myself and I just want to touch you right now Oh
Oh we’ll never be able to be friends, never be friends Oh
Because if you end up hating me I won’t be able to live Oh

These embarassing fantasies and unfulfilled dreams
I’ll have to take them with me
To the graveyard

Oh we’ll never be able to be friends, never be friends Oh
Oh because I just wanna touch you oh
Oh we’ll never be able to be friends, never be friends Oh
Because if I can’t be your #1 then there’s no point Oh

Egao mireru kyori ni ireru sore dake de ii
Tomodachi nara soba ni itemo okashikunai
Kimini fureru aitsu miteru
Nukuwarenai omoibakari ga tsunoru yofuke ha doushitaraii?
Kizukanaifuri toka chuutohanpa na yasashisa ni nakitai

Oh tomodachi ni ha narenaina, ni ha narenaina oh
Oh nazenaraba sawaritakute shikatanaikara oh
Oh tomodachi ni ha narenaina, ni ha narenaina oh
Mou kimi no ichiban jyanaito imi ga naikara oh

Mune no uchi wo akasetanara iya sore ha muri
Totemo jouzu ni uso tsukeru no ni, kokoro ha bakashoojiki
Kiss shitai hug toka iranaikara
Let me have one kiss
Yappari

Oh tomodachi ni ha narenaina, ni ha narenaina oh
Oh imasugu sawaritakute shikatanaikara oh
Oh tomodachi ni ha narenaina, ni ha narenaina oh
Mou kimi ni kirawaretara ikiteikenaikara oh

Hazukashii mousou ya mihatenu yume ha

Oh nazenaraba sawaritakute shikatanaikara oh
Oh tomodachi ni ha narenaina, ni ha narenaina oh
Mou kimi no ichiban jyanaito imi ga naikara oh
