本当は聞きたくない
あなたと彼女のすれ違い
なのにどうして今夜も
あなたを励まそうとしているの

わたしなら...
SOUL TO SOUL な BITTER SWEET BROTHER
カシミヤの手袋よりも

熱く深くそっと
心を包み込むのに

どうして言えないんだろう
この胸に芽生えた想いを
気の置けぬ友達で
いるより女として見てほしい

わたしなら...
SOUL TO SOUL な BITTER SWEET LOVER
シルクのシーツよりもわたしの
しなやかなこの胸
あなたのくぼみに寄り添うのに

教えて
私はあなたの目にどんな風に映るのか
まだ聞いたことのない言葉を聞かせて

ささやく声の甘い重み
肌を突き抜ければめくるめくFANTASY
今はまだ遠い未来
その声にアクセスしたまま今は見守るだけ

SOUL TO SOUL な BITTER SWEET MAMA
琥珀色のワインよりも
強く深く甘い

愛しさで受け止めたいあなたのすべて

SOUL TO SOUL な BITTER SWEET LOVER
振り向けばいつでもそこに
飾りもとまどいも
脱ぎ捨てた私がいる

触れた受話器に残るぬくもり
包んであげるめくるめく喜び

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sakura's song "wa ta shi na ra" (If I Were) portray the unspoken love and frustrations of a woman who is stuck between being friends and wanting to be seen as a lover by the man she desires. The opening lines express the singer's reluctance to listen to her feelings of jealousy and despair over witnessing her love interest with another woman. Despite her reluctance, she still finds herself trying to encourage him. The singer wants to be there for him, to understand him on a deeper level, and to wrap him in an emotional cocoon that is hotter and deeper than cashmere gloves.

The chorus expresses the singer's struggling to confess her feelings for the man she desires. She wants him to see her as more than just a friend and to view her as a woman. She wishes to be his "SOUL TO SOUL" BITTER SWEET LOVER by wrapping her supple heart around his emotional needs.

The bridge section talks about the woman's desire to understand how the man sees her. She wants him to tell her what she means to him and to confess his feelings. She wants him to share a word that she has never heard before.

Overall, Sakura's song "wa ta shi na ra" is a poignant representation of unrequited love, missed opportunities, and the longing for the emotional connection that can only be achieved by transcending mere friendship.
