[Verse 1] What are the words you say? What do you mean by them? I couldn’t understand, so I just asked you then Your eyes look faintly lost, like something puzzles you Did I mess up again? I’m so embarrassed… ooh [Pre-Chorus] ’Cause I don’t know English well, I dropped out long ago Hardly went to middle school, I didn’t really go Came here and worked right away, the bar became my place Had no time left to study—never had the space [Chorus] Crack—my little heart just split apart Dieting, the makeup, dressing up my heart Doing all the fashion, saying that I care Still I know I’m never gonna be your pair [Verse 2] What’s written on your phone? What does the message say? I couldn’t read a thing, so I just asked today You flinched a little bit, like something wasn’t right Did I say something weird? God, I just lose the fight [Pre-Chorus] I can’t read the kanji signs, I never read manga Never touched a textbook once, not even a chapter Phones and all the internet, anime and games Who has time for reading? Not me anyway [Chorus] Crack—my little heart just split again English lessons, kanji drills—they hurt me now and then Now it’s late, it’s too late, too late to even try! I can’t catch up to you, no matter how I try [Break] I know I have a woman’s charm But study’s something I can’t do Working every day means learning’s out Didn’t go to school, I dropped right out A runaway, a minor with no school to tell No ID, no health card—had too much to fail It wasn’t even my own fault, you know! Still I should’ve gone to junior high—wish I’d gone though! A giant campus, shining wide I wanted to walk with you by my side [Final Chorus] Crack—my little heart just broke again A college student—worlds away from where I’ve been You’re too smart, our words just never interlace A girl like me is someone you could not embrace [Outro] Ah… Ah… Before you choose to throw me Maybe I should be the one to leave I don’t want that, it’s not what I believe But I’ve lost… all my self-belief… [End]
