[Intro]
辛いのはあなたじゃない　この私なんだ

[Verse 1]
友達と言う役割を常に
悪気なく乱用しているあなた
ちっとも私の気持ちに　気づいてくれないみたいだ
いつまで続くのかな

[Pre-Chorus]
待ち合わせに遅れてきたあなたは
謝らずに彼女の相談を始めている
女の気持ちはどうとか　理解に困っているとか
助けを求めてくる

[Chorus]
ほらね　ほらね　いつも　ほらね
辛いのはあなたじゃない　この私なんだ

[Verse 2]
お酒に酔った勢いであなたは
普段より距離を縮めて隣に座った
「君がいないとだめだ」とか「世界一の親友だ」とか
無責任に口にする

[Pre-Chorus]
いっそあなたと縁を切り　恋の相手を選び直したい
愛と絆創膏　優しさが伝わらない
「もう終わり」だと　何度誓っても
あなたが私を必要とすると　この決意は揺らぐの
Woah, oh

[Chorus]
ほらね　ほらね　いつも　ほらね
辛いのはあなたじゃない　この私なんだ
