Kimi wa tsuyoi ko nante

Kimetsuketari suru kara

"Anata nanka TAIPU janai"

Sunao ni narenai watashi

Mitame to wa urahara ni

Yowamushi na onnanoko

"Kirai nante, iwasenaide…"

Tameiki ga kobore sou

Furueru te o kakushite

Anata e no michi o kaketeku

Douka hontou no watashi o minuite

Koigokoro MASUKAREEDO

Tsuki dake ga futari o miteru

Tsuyogari na kotoba no RUUPU o

KISU de fusaide hoshii no

Hoshikuzu no DORESU o mi ni matottanara

Kazaranai sugao na egao de

Aeru ki ga suru kara

Mou sukoshi dake saki ni

Fumidashite mitai kedo

"Gomen, ima wa kibun janai"

Kawaiku narenai watashi

PURAIDO ga takai no wa

Kizutsuki takunai kara

"Suki yo, dakedo sukoshi kowai…"

Wagamama to iwanaide

Oboetate no DANSU de

Koyoi futari odorimashou

MASUKU goshi ni sasayaita "suki da yo."

Koigokoro MASUKAREEDO

Mitsumeai kanaderu rondo

Itsumademo kienai RIZUMU de

Hayaku mitashite hoshii no

KYANDORU no akai akari ni yurari yurarete

Umareta bakari no tokimeki o

Subete sasagetai yo

Furueru te o kakushite

Anata e no michi o kaketeku

Douka hontou no watashi o minuite

Koigokoro MASUKAREEDO

Tsuki dake ga futari o miteru

Tsuyogari na kotoba no RUUPU o

KISU de fusaide hoshii no

Hoshikuzu no DORESU o mi ni matottanara

Kazaranai sugao na egao de

Aeru ki ga suru kara

Shall We Dance Tonight

Shall We Love...?

キミは強い子なんて

決めつけたりするから

「あなたなんかタイプじゃない」

素直になれない　私

見た目とはウラハラに

ヨワムシな女の子

“嫌いなんて、言わせないで…”

ため息がこぼれそう

震える手を隠して

あなたへの道をかけてく

どうか本当の私を見抜いて

恋心マスカレード

月だけがふたりを見てる

強がりな言葉のループを

キスで塞いで欲しいの

星屑のドレスを身に纏ったなら

飾らない素顔な笑顔で

会える気がするから

もう少しだけ先に

踏み出してみたいけど

「ゴメン、今は気分じゃない」

可愛くなれない　私

プライドが高いのは

傷つきたくないから

“好きよ、だけど少し怖い…”

ワガママと言わないで

覚えたてのダンスで

今宵ふたり踊りましょう

マスク越しに囁いた「好きだよ。」

恋心マスカレード

見つめあい奏でる輪舞曲

いつまでも消えないリズムで

はやく満たして欲しいの

キャンドルの紅い灯にゆらり揺られて

生まれたばかりのときめきを

すべて捧げたいよ

震える手を隠して

あなたへの道をかけてく

どうか本当の私を見抜いて

恋心マスカレード

月だけがふたりを見てる

強がりな言葉のループを

キスで塞いで欲しいの

星屑のドレスを身に纏ったなら

飾らない素顔な笑顔で

会える気がするから

Shall We Dance Tonight

Shall We Love...?

You're a strong one, as if

Because I decided one-sidedly

"Someone like you isn't my type"

I can't be honest

On the other side of those eyes they see

is a weakling girl

"Please don't say you hate me..."

I feel like sighing

Hiding the shaking of my hands

I walk down the path to you

Please, somehow see through to the real me

Love masquerade

Only the moon watches over us

I want you to break the loop of confident words

with a kiss

If I wrap my body in a dress of stardust

I feel like I can show you

my unadorned, honest smile

I tried to advance our relationship

just a little bit, but

"Sorry, I don't feel like it right now"

I can't be cute

The reason I'm so prideful

is because I don't want to get hurt

"I love you, but I'm kind of scared"

Don't say I'm selfish, please

Tonight, let's dance

these newly-learned steps

Under my mask, a whispered "I love you."

Love masquerade

As our eyes meet, the rondo plays

with a never-ending rhythm

I want it to be fulfilled quickly

The red candlelight shimmers and dances

I want to give you

all of this newborn excitement

Hiding the shaking of my hands

I walk down the path to you

Please, somehow see through to the real me

Love masquerade

Only the moon watches over us

I want you to break the loop of confident words

with a kiss

If I wrap my body in a dress of stardust

I feel like I can show you

my unadorned, honest smile

Shall We Dance Tonight?

Shall We Love...?
