Angela Aki - “Ai to Bansoukou (愛と絆創膏)” (English Translation) lyrics

[Intro]
The one who is suffering is not you, but me

[Verse 1]
You always abuse my role as your friend
Without meaning to, without ill intentions
You don’t seem to be able to notice my feelings one bit
I wonder for how much longer this’ll continue

[Pre-Chorus]
As you come in late for our meet-up
Without a single apology, you’re already consulting me about your girlfriend
Something about a woman’s feelings which you have a hard time understanding
You come to me for help

[Chorus]
Just look, just look
It's always like this, just look
The one who is suffering is not you, but me

[Verse 2]
Under the influence of alcohol
You sit next to me with a distance that is closer than usual
Saying, “I can’t be without you,” and, “You’re my one true friend in the world”
Such irresponsible words from your mouth
[Pre-Chorus]
I want to cut my ties with you once and for all, and to choose another person to love
Kindness cannot be communicated with only love and bandaids
But whenever I vow, “This is the end”
You come forward in need of me, and this resolution of mine wavers
Woah, oh

[Chorus]
Just look, just look
It's always like this, just look
The one who is suffering is not you, but me
