Just Be Friends
ROOT FIVE Lyrics

Just be friends All we gotta do
Let's agree to end this relationship and just be friends. We don't have to do anything else.

Just be friends It¥s time to say goodbye
It's finally time to say goodbye and move on from this romantic relationship. We can only be friends from now on.

Just be friends Just be friends Just be friends...
We need to emphasize that we're only going to be friends from now on. Let's just be friends and nothing more.

浮かんだんだ 昨日の朝 早くに
I remember yesterday morning so vividly as if it were just now.

割れたグラス かき集めるような
I feel like I'm trying to gather up shattered shards of glass.

これは一体なんだろう 切った指からしたたる滴
I'm not sure what this is all about, but the blood dripping from my cut fingers is a reminder of the pain we're both feeling.

僕らはこんなことしたかったのかな
Did we really want things to end up like this?

分かってたよ 心の奥底では
Deep down, I knew what the right choice was.

最も辛い 選択がベスト
Sometimes the hardest choice is the best one to make.

それを拒む自己愛と 結果自家撞着の繰り返し
Repeating the same patterns of self-denial and self-destruction was not going to get us anywhere.

僕はいつになれば言えるのかな
I wonder when I'll be able to say it out loud.

緩やかに朽ちてゆくこの世界で
In this world that's slowly decaying and fading away,

足掻く僕の唯一の活路
my only escape is to struggle and fight my way out.

色褪せた君の 微笑み刻んで 栓を抜いた
I remember your faded smile, and it feels like opening a bottle.

声を枯らして叫んだ 反響 残響 空しく響く
My voice echoed and reverberated, but it feels empty and meaningless.

外された鎖の その先は なにひとつ 残ってやしないけど
Once the lock is undone, there will be nothing left to hold on to.

ふたりを重ねてた偶然 暗転 断線 儚く千々に
Our connection and relationship, built on a flimsy array of coincidences, is now broken and disconnected.

所詮こんなものさ 呟いた 枯れた頬に伝う誰かの涙
In the end, it was all for naught. I muttered this as someone's tears rolled down my dried up cheeks.

気づいたんだ 昨日の 凪いだ夜に
Yesterday's calm night was when I realized.

落ちた花弁 拾い上げたとして
Even if I pick up the fallen petals,

また咲き戻ることはない そう手の平の上の小さな死
they will never bloom again. It's like a small death in my hands.

僕らの時間は止まったまま
Our time together has come to a standstill.

思い出すよ 初めて会った季節を
I remember the season when we first met.

君の優しく微笑む顔を
Your gentle smile is etched into my memory.

今を過去に押しやって 二人傷つく限り傷ついた
We pushed the present into the past, and both of us got hurt as much as we could.

僕らの心は棘だらけだ
Our hearts are filled with thorns.

重苦しく続くこの関係で
In this heavy and suffocating relationship,

悲しい程 変わらない心
our hearts remain unchanged, and it's just too sad.

愛してるのに 離れがたいのに 僕が言わなきゃ
I love you too, and it's hard to leave you, but I have to say it.

心に土砂降りの雨が 呆然 竦然 視界も煙る
My heart feels like it's being battered by heavy rain. I'm stunned and scared, and even my vision is blurred.

覚悟してた筈の その痛み それでも貫かれるこの体
I thought I was prepared for this, but the pain still pierces through my body.

ふたりを繋いでた絆 綻び 解け 日常に消えてく
The bond that connected us has now torn apart and disappeared into the everyday mundane reality.

さよなら愛した人 ここまでだ もう振り向かないで歩き出すんだ
Goodbye, my beloved. This is as far as we go. Please don't look back as you move forward.

一度だけ 一度だけ 願いが叶うのならば
If I had just one wish that could come true,

何度でも生まれ変わって あの日の君に逢いに行くよ
I would be reborn countless times just to meet you again from that day.

これでおしまいさ
That's the end of it all.
