[7/24 (0317.jpg)] 私とつき合うってことは Going out with me 先パイから「普通の幸せ」を奪ってことなんだ Was keeping normal happiness away from Senpai ーーそう考えたら When I thought of that ホントはもっと先パイに触れたかったし The truth was that I wanted to be closer with Senpai もっともっと先パイのことを知りたかったけど And to know even more about her, but... これ以上に進んだら先パイから大事なモノを奪ってしまう気がして I had a feeling that if we went any further, I'd be keeping precious things away from her. 急に怖くなって And suddenly, I got scared 何もできなくなったーー… And I couldn't do anything anymore...
