Simple (シンプル)

English lyrics

Even though I’m told I just don’t get it, I’m not hurt at all.
Read between the lines, you say? Well, why don’t you try to guess what I’m thinking of
You can ask that of me, but I can’t ask that of you. Whether I get it right or not, I’d still be called one pitiful guy
Why not try dumping all that out on the internet? Use the ‘laughing while crying’ emoji that I find so annoying

Just admit to me
You’re not satisfied
That’s what weighs on my heart

The two of us are simpler than you think
My reasons have always been simpler than you think
While you were sleeping, I thought long and hard
About how I’d explain to you, wondering whether at all I can

Even though I’m told I just don’t get it, I’m not hurt at all.
I have to hear about other people so distant from me, but you won’t even listen to what I have to say, right in front of you
You can ask that of me, but I can’t ask that of you. All you need is someone to vent and nod along to.
Why don’t you put that stuff on the internet? Use the ‘spread hands and laughing’ emoji that I find so annyoing

Let me hug you
But it’s not enough
That’s what weighs on my heart

The two of us are simpler than you think
My feelings have always been simpler than you think
While you were crying, I thought long and hard
About you who I love, searching for what made you cry
The two of us are simpler than you think
My reasons have always been simpler than you think
And while you were laughing, I thought long and hard
About how I might keep you that way, always
Forever

Kanji

‘わかってないね’って　そう言われても　僕は何にも感じない
言わない事を察しろってさ　じゃあ僕が何を考えてるか当ててみてよ
求められても　求めちゃいけない　引けば引いたで情けないやつ呼ばわり
ほらネットの海に　垂れ流せば？　泣きながら笑うクソムカつく
あの絵文字付きで

認めてもらえよ
満たされない
心の重みについて

君が思ってるより　僕らはずっとシンプル
君が思ってるより　僕の理由はシンプル
君が眠ってる間　僕はずっと考える
どうすれば君に説明　できるのかを探すよ

‘わかってないね’って　そう言われても　僕は何にも感じない
遠い誰かのこと聞いてってさ　目の前の僕の話すら聞いてくれないのに？
求められても　求めちゃいけない　君に必要なのは相槌と愚痴のごみ箱
ほらネットの海に　打ち上げれば？　手を広げ笑うクソムカつく
あの絵文字付きで

抱きしめてもらえよ
満たされない
心の重みについて

君が思ってるより　僕らはずっとシンプル
君が思ってるより　僕の気持ちはシンプル
君が泣いている間　僕はずっと考える
大好きな君を何が　泣かすのかを探すよ
君が思ってるより　僕らはずっとシンプル
君が思ってるより　僕の理由はシンプル
君が笑ってる間　僕はずっと考える
どうすれば君がずっと　そうやっていられるのかってこと
ずーっと
