poker face

[masa]

It's always easy to cry, but I like to smile
I want your love

My true self is growing dim little by little
In the surging crowds I was searching for the answer that remained unfound
As I get better at telling lies and giving excuses, I come to feel fear in the emptiness

It's always easy to cry, but I like to smile
If I pretended to be strong, I would forget tenderness, so I'd like to be natural
I want your love

People are always alone
So they need someone, wishing to be supported and to support
Nothing is certain, but I have my believing heart

If I find one important thing, I will keep it by my own hand
If I hit a wall too high and get hurt, I should stand up again
I don't want anything else, just one is enough
I want your love

("A meeting" and "a parting" occasionally change a person a lot.)

itsu datte naku kurai kantan dakedo waratte itai

honto no jibun no sugata ga sukoshizutsu boyake dashiteru
oshiyoseru hitonami no naka kotae dasenai mama sagashiteita
uso ya iiwake jouzu ni naru hodo munashisa ni kowaku naru yo

itsu datte naku kurai kantan da kedo waratteitai

anata no ai ga hoshii yo

hito wa minna itsu datte hitori bocchi na ikimono

It seems like I'm always crying
It's so simple, but I want to be smiling
I want your love

My true self is little by little
Starting to blur away
In the surging crowd of people
I searched while I couldn't reply
I've become so afraid of emptiness
That I've become good at making up lies and excuses

It seems like I'm always crying
It's so simple, but I want to be smiling
When I act strong, even kindness
Is forgotten, so I want to become honest
I want your love

All people are always
Things that live alone
That's why I need someone so much
I want to be supported, and I want to support
Though nothing is certain
I have a heart that wants to believe

When we find one thing to cherish
Let's continue to protect it
When you hit a wall that's too high
It's okay if you stand again bearing the wounds
Because I won't wish for anything else
Just that one thing is fine
I want your love
