Hopeless Ex-Lover's Song

どうしようもない人の歌"
Dou shiyou mo nai koibito no uta"
Helpless Ex-Lover's Song

I act like everyone else, listen to everything I'm told.
I've done everything perfectly.
I even threw away my individuality, and now I'll lose my self.
Teacher, can't you just save me?

You're doing it somehow.
You're doing it somehow.
You're doing it somehow.

Yeah, knock him down, call him names behind his back.
That's how I'll work up the corporate ladder.
I even threw away my pride, and now I'll lose my self.
God, can't you just save me?

You're doing it somehow.
You're doing it somehow.
You're doing it somehow.
You're doing it somehow.
You're doing it somehow.
You're doing it somehow.

I act like everyone else, listen to everything I'm told.
I've done everything perfectly.
But things just don't work out for me.
Fuck it, I'll just attack my parents while they're asleep.

You're doing it somehow.
You're doing it somehow.
You're doing it somehow.

Everyone, everyone - exactly the same - me, myself, and you
So that everyone, everyone can keep getting on happily.

So, it's nothing to do with me
So, it's nothing to do with me
Whatever happened to that guy
Don't ask me
Don't ask me
I mean, I've got nothing to do with it

So, it's nothing to do with me
Whatever happened to that guy
Don't ask me
I mean, I've got nothing to do with it
Nothing to do with it! (repeats)


そうみんなのマネして言う事聞いてて
Sou minna no mane shite iu koto kiite te

僕には全く落ち度はないのさ
Boku ni wa mattaku ochido wa nai no sa

個性も捨てたし自分もなくすさ
Kosei mo suteta shi jibun mo nakusu sa

先生どうか僕だけ助けて
Sensei douka boku dake tasukete


どうかしてるぜ オマエ
Douka shiteru ze omae

どうかしてるぜ オマエ

Sou shite boku wa buchou ni naru no

プライド捨てたし 自分もなくすさ
Puraido suteta shi jibun mo nakusu sa

神様 どうか 僕だけ助けて

Sou minna no mane shite iu koto kiitete

僕には全く落ち度はなかった
Boku ni wa mattaku ochido wa nakatta

だけど僕だけ うまく いかない
Dake do boku dake umaku ikanai

こうなりゃ 親を寝てる間にたたけ
Kou narya oya o neteru ma ni tatake

みんな みんな 同じように 僕も私もあなたも
Minna minna onaji you ni bokumo watashi mo anata mo

みんな みんな 形だけで 楽しく過ごすわ その場だけ
Minna minna katachi dake de tanoshiku sugosu wa sono ba dake
