愛してるのに、愛せない (Aishiteru no ni, aisenai) – I love you, but I can’t love you

from Aishiteru no ni, aisenai single + AAA 10th Anniversary Best album.

——

Why do the important things fade in transience?
Even kindness can change the color of a smile
With sharp words lined up, our feelings collided
The violence I tossed out cut into my chest

I love you, but I can’t love you
Your teary eyes appear too dazzling too late, as irritation grows
I want to embrace you, but I can’t embrace you
I lose my destination, from my hands
It falls away, hey, the fact that I love you

Just when did we get lost, veering away from each other?
The more I desire, the more I lose love
Tell me, where is it? There’s nothing I want
If I can say “I love you” without doubt, will I be able to go to you?

I want to go back, but I can’t go back
The too innocent place sways in the sunlight of my memories
I want to understand, but I don’t understand
I hurt you as I struggled
What I want to say, hey, is the fact that I love you

Ahh, if it can come true, let us start from when we didn’t even know each other’s names
Let me meet you once again and reach this point with you

Can I just embrace you without words?
Hey, you remain pale as tears color your cheeks and dampen your heart
Mistakes and mistakes mix and worsen
Just teach me how to rewind back to that day

I love you, but I can’t love you
Your teary eyes appear too dazzling too late, as irritation grows
I want to embrace you, but I can’t embrace you
I lose my destination, from my hands
It falls away, hey, the fact that I love you

Doushite taisetsu na mono tte hakanaku utsuro
Yasashisa ga hohoemi sae iro wo kaete iku
Togaru kotoba narabete butsuke atta kimochi wa
Nage tsuketa bun no hageshisa de boku no mune wo kiri tsukeru

Aishiteru no ni aisenai
Sunda hitomi ga naosara ni mabushi sugite iradachi ga tsunoru
Dakishimetakute dakenakute
Ikiba nakusu boku no te kara
Kobore ochiteku nee kimi no koto wo aishiteru

Itsukara mayotta no kana hagureta futari
Motomereba motomeru hodo ai wo mi ushinau
Doko ni iru no oshiete hoshii mono wa nakatta
Mayoi mo naku suki da to ieba kimi no moto he yukeru kana

Modoritai no ni modorenai
Mujaki sugiteta ano basho wa kioku no naka hizashi ni yureteru
Wakaritai no ni wakaranai
Mogaki nagara kizutsuketeta
Tsutaetai kotoba nee kimi no koto wo aishiteru

Aa kanau nara douka namae mo shiranai mama no futari kara
Mou ichido deatte tadori naoshite mitai kimi to

Nanimo iwazu kimi wo daite shimaeba ii no kai
Nee namidairo ni somaru hoho mo terasenai mama nureru kokoro
Machigai to machigai ga majiwari kojirete
Semete ano hi made no maki modoshi kata wo nee oshiete

Aishiteru no ni aisenai
Sunda hitomi ga naosara ni mabushi sugite iradachi ga tsunoru
Dakishimetakute dakenakute
Ikiba nakusu boku no te kara
Kobore ochiteku nee kimi no koto wo aishiteru

どうして大切なものって儚くうつろ
やさしさが微笑みさえ色を変えていく
尖る言葉並べてぶつけ合った気持ちは
投げつけた分の激しさで僕の胸を切り付ける

愛してるのに愛せない
澄んだ瞳がなおさらにまぶしすぎて苛立ちが募る
抱きしめたくて抱けなくて
行き場なくす僕の手から
零れ落ちてく　ねぇ君のことを愛してる

いつから迷ったのかな　はぐれた２人
求めれば求めるほど愛を見失う
どこにいるの教えて　欲しいものはなかった
迷いもなく好きだといえば君のもとへ行けるかな

戻りたいのに戻れない
無邪気すぎてたあの場所は記憶の中日差しに揺れてる
わかりたいのにわからない
もがきながら傷つけてた
伝えたい言葉　ねえ君のことを愛してる

あぁ叶うならどうか名前も知らないままの２人から
もう一度出会って辿りなおしてみたい君と

なにも言わず君を抱いてしまえばいいのかい　
ねぇ涙色に染まる頬も照らせないまま濡れる心
間違いと間違いが交わりこじれて
せめてあの日までの巻き戻し方を　ねぇ教えて

愛してるのに愛せない
澄んだ瞳がなおさらにまぶしすぎて苛立ちが募る
抱きしめたくて抱けなくて
行き場なくす僕の手から
零れ落ちてく　ねぇ君のことを愛してる
