Selfish
Kumi Koda / 倖田來未 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
現実の波にのみこまれ
逃げ出したくなる日もあったね
愛だけじゃ縛れないから
新しい空間の中でリセットしてみた
I just want to get away
どこか遠くへ set me free 離して
動けないから
いつかみたいに
また自由になりたいの selfish
振り回され続けてばかりで
どれだけ傷付いたかわかる
身勝手だね今さら優しく
するなんてふざけないでよ
失ってからじゃ遅すぎる
後悔するのは
I just want to get away
あなたはきっと
私無しでは輝けないの今がその時
今日こそは私の前に
ひざまずかせてあげるわ selfish
I just want to get away
もっと遠くへ
Set me free 離して何をしたいの
戻りたいならもう少し
誠意を見せて言葉じゃ足りないから
I just want to get away
どこか遠くへ
Set me free 離して動けないから
今より少しましじゃない
いつかみたいに
また自由になりたいの selfish
