長い間 待たせてごめん
また急に仕事が入った
いつも一緒にいられなくて
淋しい思いをさせたね

逢えないとき 受話器からきこえる
君の声がかすれてる
久しぶりに逢った時の
君の笑顔が胸をさらっていく

気づいたのあなたがこんなに 胸の中にいること
愛してる まさかねそんな事言えない

あなたのその言葉だけを信じて
今日まで待っていた私
笑顔だけは 忘れないように
あなたの側にいたいから

笑ってるあなたの側では 素直になれるの
愛してる でもまさかねそんな事言えない

気づいたのあなたがこんなに 胸の中にいること
愛してる まさかねそんな事言えない
笑ってるあなたの側では 素直になれるの
愛してる でもまさかねそんな事言えない

気づいたのあなたがこんなに 胸の中にいること
愛してる まさかねそんな事言えない
笑ってるあなたの側では 素直になれるの
愛してる でもまさかねそんな事言えない

Nagai aida matasete gomen
Mata kyuu ni shigoto ga haitta
Itsumo issho ni irarenakute
Sabishii omoi wo saseta ne

Aenai toki juwaki kara kikoeru
Kimi no koe ga kasureteru
Hisashiburi ni atta toki no
Kimi no egao ga mune wo saratte iku

Kizuita no anata ga konna ni mune no naka ni iru koto
Aishiteru masaka ne sonna koto ienai

Anata no sono kotoba dake wo shinjite
Kyou made matte ita watashi
Egao dake wa wasurenai you ni
Anata no soba ni itai kara

Waratteru anata no soba dewa sunao ni nareru no
Aishiteru demo masaka ne sonna koto ienai

Kizuita no anata ga konna ni mune no naka ni iru koto
Aishiteru masaka ne sonna koto ienai
Waratteru anata no soba dewa sunao ni nareru no
Aishiteru demo masaka ne sonna koto ienai

Kizuita no anata ga konna ni mune no naka ni iru koto
Aishiteru masaka ne sonna koto ienai
Waratteru anata no soba dewa sunao ni nareru no
Aishiteru demo masaka ne sonna koto ienai

Translation

 

I'm sorry I kept you waiting for so long
Work suddenly came up again
We can't be together all the time
And I've made you feel so lonely

When I can't be with you
Your voice sounds broken over the phone
Seeing your smile after such a long time
Sweeps my heart away

I've realized that my heart belongs to you
But I can't bring myself to say those words, “I love you”

I'll only believe those words if you're the one who says them
I've been waiting all this time to hear it
Your smile is something I won't forget
Because I want to be close to you

My heart melts when I'm near your smile
But I can't bring myself to say those words, “I love you”

I've realized that my heart belongs to you
But I can't bring myself to say those words, “I love you”
My heart melts when I'm near your smile
But I can't bring myself to say those words, “I love you”

I've realized that my heart belongs to you
But I can't bring myself to say those words, “I love you”
My heart melts when I'm near your smile
But I can't bring myself to say those words, “I love you”
