天秤~強がりな私×弱がりな君~

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
傍にいられるだけでよかった
そこが君のいい所 私の好きな君だから
邪魔したくなかったのに
「私が1番じゃなくてもいいから」って
でもいつの間にか応援できなくなってた
最後の喧嘩になるんなら
「待っててほしい」のかわりに「幸せになって」と... 本気でいってるの?
「迎えにいくから」それさえあれば 信じて待っていられたのに
「今の僕じゃ寂しい想いさせてしまうから」
このまま変わらずにいれば?
もっといい女性になれば?
この恋の続きをしてくれる?
クリスマスも逢えず 誕生日プレゼント
何もなくても確かに愛されてたのに
いつからか君の言葉 受け止められない真実(の)と
信じたい嘘(の)と二つに別れ出した
「君以上に良い人いる」って言われても
私より綺麗な人もいるけど
きっと君にも私しかいないはずだもん
あんなに好きだったのに"君の愛しかた"がわからなかった
「ダサイ男にはなりたくないから」とかっこよくいたがってたけど
プライド捨てて『弱がりな君』みせてくれた時こそ I miss you
"私だけの君"みたいで嬉しくて安心できた
「順番なんてつけられない 同じくらい大事だから」
"あの頃の二人は"こう決めた
「サヨナラ」
"こんな時間"同じ時に笑い、涙してた君が隣にいてくんなきゃ意味がないから
"君だったら..."と重ねてしまってる
「幸せにする」って言ったじゃない! その程度の想い?
取り消すなら今だよ
「やっぱり」と戻ってきても
一年後じゃ遅いんだから
今までみたいに
いつものように
"強がりな私"だと見抜いてほしかった。
The song 天秤~強がりな私×弱がりな君~ by misono talks about a complicated relationship between the singer (presumably the singer herself) and the person she is in love with. At the beginning of the song, she explains that she was attracted to this person because of their passion for their job, and that she was content just to be close to them, appreciating their good qualities. However, as their relationship progressed, she found herself unable to support and encourage them as she once did, and the couple began fighting more frequently. The singer wonders if it would have been easier if she had just pretended everything was fine and kept trying to make the relationship work, but ultimately decides that it would have been better to accept the truth and move on.
