Aya Uchida Lyrics

そんな景色前まで平気だったはずなの
出会うのがも少しだけ早かったら今ごろ
違ってる未来で二人一緒だったかな
最近きれいになったけれど好きな人出来たのと誉めてくれても切なくなるの君のせいだよ
どんなに好きでも知られちゃいけないの知られたところで答え分かってるの
好きでも好きでも絶対求めないの
忘れようとするほどそれが出来ない
心の奥の気持ちふいに気づいた瞬間
生まれ変わったように世界は色ずいてったそれと引き換えにして刺激的な日常が柔らかな恋心そっと傷つけていく
君の笑顔が眩しかったり、呼ばれてキュンとしたり、私も何かあげたいけれど何も出来ない
どんなに好きでも与えちゃいけないの
与えたところで受け取ってくれないの
好きでも好きでも何にも変わらないの
ときめきと切なさ息が出来ない
これじゃ恋が悲しい
愛するってことが何かを知ってる人
私はそこも好きずっと追い付けないの
どんなに好きでも知られちゃいけないの知られたところで答え分かってるの
どんなに好きでも与えちゃいけないの与えたところで受け取ってくれないの
好きでも好きでも何にも変わらないの
ときめきと切なさ息が出来ない
これじゃ恋が悲しい
忘れようとするほどそれが出来ない
The lyrics to Aya Uchida's song ONE WAY express the complexities and struggles of love. The first verse describes how two lovers seem happy as they walk together, but the singer can't help but feel a sense of regret that things are different between her and her own loved one. She explains that even though she appreciates the compliments about her appearance, they only make her feel more heartbroken because she loves someone who cannot love her back. The chorus highlights the pain of loving someone who cannot be obtained, as even if they confessed their feelings, the answer is already known. The second verse continues to describe how love can be both beautiful and cruel, as the singer experiences a sense of colorfulness and transformation within herself, but at the same time, her heart keeps slowly breaking from wanting to be with someone she cannot have.
The third verse talks about the knowledge that comes with loving someone, and how sometimes it is better to keep those feelings secret, as confessing them won't change anything. The last lines of the song, "This is the sad truth of love, no matter how much we love, our breath catches with both excitement and heartbreak," sums up the struggles and pains of trying to deal with a love that cannot be reciprocated.
Overall, "ONE WAY" expresses the struggle of loving someone who cannot love back, and the pain and hidden feelings that come with it.
