ソファの上 マスカラのついた顔 散らばったポテチはまるで私達
誕生日にくれたバッグ いつもつけてたペアリング
部屋にあった誰かのピアス もうただの昔話ね
枕抱きしめて泣きつかれなきゃ
ありがとう thank you babe
目が覚めた I'm a tiger, tiger
後悔して もう遅いけど 'cause I'm a tiger, tiger so hear me
I really wanna thank you baby, so hear me
もらったばかりだった香水も アプリで割と高く売れそう
炭酸の抜けたコーラ あなたよりは美味しいわ
私だけ見てなんて言わなきゃダメ? おかしいじゃん
周り見渡せば あなたよりも
素敵な人ばっかり 新しい恋の予感
ありがとう thank you babe
目が覚めた I'm a tiger, tiger
後悔して もう遅いけど 'cause I'm a tiger, tiger, so hear me
I really wanna thank you baby, so hear me
I really wanna thank you baby
今更戻れるなんて思わないでよ最後まで
振り回して 自分勝手で 一人にさせてよいい加減
ありがとう thank you babe
目が覚めた I'm a tiger, tiger
後悔して もう遅いけど 'cause I'm a tiger, tiger, so hear me
I really wanna thank you baby, so hear me
I really wanna thank you baby, so hear me
I really wanna thank you baby, so hear me, so hear me
I really wanna thank you baby, so hear me

You know what, boy?
Do you understand what I'm about to say?
Listen up
Pay close attention
On the sofa, our mascara-stained faces, scattered potato chips, it's just like us
Our messy appearances and shared snacks represent our relationship
The bag you gave me on my birthday, the pair of rings we always wore
Symbolic items in our relationship that we cherished
The earrings of someone else in the room, they're just a story from the past now
Remnants of a previous relationship that no longer hold significance
I couldn't sleep unless I held the pillow tightly and cried myself to sleep
Expressing the pain and sadness that keeps me awake at night
Thank you, babe. I realized it. I'm a tiger, tiger
Gratitude for the lessons learned, now embracing my strength and independence like a tiger
Regretting it now, but it's too late because I'm a tiger, tiger, so hear me
Acknowledging the past mistakes, but emphasizing the newfound assertiveness and determination
I really wanna thank you, baby, so hear me
Expressing sincere gratitude to the person causing personal growth
The perfume I just received could probably sell for a high price on an app
Seeing the materialistic nature of the gifts received and their potential value
The cola without fizz is tastier than you
Comparing the drink's flavor to the person's character, implying dissatisfaction
Do I have to be the only one you look at? It's absurd
Questioning the expectation of exclusivity and finding it unreasonable
Looking around, there are more wonderful people than you, giving me a sense of a new love
Realizing that there are better options and possibilities in terms of new relationships
I really wanna thank you, baby, so hear me
Repeating the sincere gratitude towards personal growth caused by the person
Don't think that you can come back now, until the end
Rejecting the idea of reconciliation, emphasizing a desire for closure
Stop manipulating me, being selfish, and leaving me alone
Demanding to be treated with respect and considering one's own needs and well-being
Thank you, babe. I realized it. I'm a tiger, tiger
Gratitude for the lessons learned, now embracing my strength and independence like a tiger
Regretting it now, but it's too late because I'm a tiger, tiger, so hear me
Acknowledging the past mistakes, but emphasizing the newfound assertiveness and determination
I really wanna thank you, baby, so hear me
Expressing sincere gratitude to the person causing personal growth
I really wanna thank you, baby, so hear me
Repeating the sincere gratitude towards personal growth caused by the person
I really wanna thank you, baby, so hear me, so hear me
Stressing the importance of being acknowledged and understood
I really wanna thank you, baby, so hear me
Expressing sincere gratitude to the person causing personal growth
