Takada Kozue

I was born and fell from the warm sea
On a sparkling world
Everything that enveloped me was a smile
I wasn't rejected or anything
I just expected that you'd understand

I was always jealous of my friends
I blamed me not amounting to anything on the others around me
I was running away without facing it all

Betrayed and hurt, everything up ahead was in darkness
I walked all alone, pretending to be strong

I didn't want to lose out to anyone or anything
I wanted to be number one
Yet this face and this body
Unable to like them
I was bellowing out "Don't screw with me"

If I was just running from rejection
Then I dropped the weapon known as my will
The thing that I got good at as I walked with my head down
Was hypocrisy, being hazy, and consciousness of being a victim

I'm lonely, I'm sad, my heart aches
Done in by my temper, I stumbled

I'm inflicting pain on myself
The tiny sky is closed off
I'm making it hard for myself
I didn't want to grow up so much that I could deal with things well
Because I couldn't see it

Because I want to be recognized by everyone
I want to recognize everyone
Is it alright to sing about wanting to be loved?
I can't give up on being loved

Even if I lose out to someone
I don't want to be number one
Yet I want to be able to like
Like my tiny little self
Living my life saying "Don't screw with me"
