Usually, I'd be in your side seat as     Itsumo nara anata no saidoshiito de
the car slips into a precious night.	 kuruma o suberasu precious night
Your call to cancel smelled like a lie.	 kyanselu no denwa ni uso no nioi
Pretending I didn't notice, I hung up.	 kizukame-furi de kitta wa

The color of my manicure after drying	 Kawaita ato no manikyua no iro
only decorates the night in vain.	 munashiku yoru o kazuru dake

A-HA-HA					 A-HA-HA
I'm the actress in the mirror.		 kagami no naka no akutoresu
Although I should speak frankly,	 hakkiri ieba ii no ni
hesitation whispers in my ear		 tamerai ga mimimoto de sasayaku
'Cause I love you.			 'Cause I love you
I'm the actress in the mirror.		 kagami no naka no akutoresu
Every time I act, my true face		 enjiru tabi ni sugao ga
departs from me.			 hanarete-iku
You've broken my heart.			 You've broken my heart

In my bedroom lit by only a lamp,	 rampu dake tomoshita bed room de
who am I looking at?			 atashi wa dare o miteru no
As we got used to us, we lost		 narete-yuku futari ga nakushita no wa
our imagination toward one another.	 otagai e no imagineeshon

You probably just prefer me		 anata wa tabun dorai-na mama no
as unemotional as that.			 atashi o nozonde-iru dake

A-HA-HA					 A-HA-HA
I'm the actress in the mirror.		 kagami no naka no akutoresu
Although I'd rather cry,		 isso naketara ii no ni
my bravado is changing my words		 tsuyogari ga serifu o kaete-iku
'Cause I love you.			 'Cause I love you
I'm the actress in the mirror.		 kagami no naka no akutoresu
I realized the depth of my blame.	 tsumi no fukasa ni kzuite
I can't come back.			 modorenai wa
You've broken my heart.			 You've broken my heart

A-HA-HA					 A-HA-HA
