TOM★CAT Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
心をよぎる 君への想い
こんなふうに誰も 誰かのことで
胸を焦がして 眠りにつくのか
例えば この街 この国
飛び交い続ける 幾万の愛
I don't like love Cause I love you
思えばすごいエネルギー
バカげてるけれど 興奮する
小さなこの街で 目をそらしあう
数えきれない たくさんの人
もし声かけたなら 応えてくれる
ほんとは優しい 誰かの恋人
例えば この国 この星
空しく争う 幾億の愛
I don't like love Cause I love you
思えば無駄なエネルギー
I don't like love Cause I love you
ひとりでいるのを 切なくする
I don't like love Cause I love you
誰も好きになりたくない
I don't like love Cause I love you
こんな ひとりでいるのを 切なくする
