無敵の笑顔で荒らすメディア
知りたいその秘密ミステリアス
抜けてるとこさえ彼女のエリア
完璧で嘘つきな君は
天才的なアイドル様
今日何食べた？
好きな本は？
遊びに行くならどこに行くの？
何も食べてない
それは内緒
何を聞かれても
のらりくらり
そう淡々と
だけど燦々と
見えそうで見えない秘密は蜜の味
あれもないないない
これもないないない
好きなタイプは？
相手は？
さあ答えて
「誰かを好きになることなんて私分からなくてさ」
嘘か本当か知り得ない
そんな言葉にまた一人堕ちる
また好きにさせる
誰もが目を奪われていく
君は完璧で究極のアイドル
金輪際現れない
一番星の生まれ変わり
その笑顔で愛してるで
誰も彼も虜にしていく
その瞳がその言葉が
嘘でもそれは完全なアイ
はいはいあの子は特別です
我々はハナからおまけです
お星様の引き立て役Bです
全てがあの子のお陰なわけない
洒落臭い
妬み嫉妬なんてないわけがない
これはネタじゃない
からこそ許せない
完璧じゃない君じゃ許せない
自分を許せない
誰よりも強い君以外は認めない
誰もが信じ崇めてる
まさに最強で無敵のアイドル
弱点なんて見当たらない
一番星を宿している
弱いとこなんて見せちゃダメダメ
知りたくないとこは見せずに
唯一無二じゃなくちゃイヤイヤ
それこそ本物のアイ
得意の笑顔で沸かすメディア
隠しきるこの秘密だけは
愛してるって嘘で積むキャリア
これこそ私なりの愛だ
流れる汗も綺麗なアクア
ルビーを隠したこの瞼
歌い踊り舞う私はマリア
そう嘘はとびきりの愛だ
誰かに愛されたことも
誰かのこと愛したこともない
そんな私の嘘がいつか本当になること
信じてる
いつかきっと全部手に入れる
私はそう欲張りなアイドル
等身大でみんなのこと
ちゃんと愛したいから
今日も嘘をつくの
この言葉がいつか本当になる日を願って
それでもまだ
君と君にだけは言えずにいたけど
やっと言えた
これは絶対嘘じゃない
愛してる
English Translation
With an unbeatable smile, you shake up the media
I want to uncover your mysterious secrets
Even your flaws belong only to you
Perfect and a liar, you are
A genius miss idol
What did you eat today?
What's your favorite book?
If you go out, where do you go?
I didn't eat anything
That's a secret
No matter the question
You slip away with ease
So indifferent,
Yet shining bright
A secret barely revealed tastes like honey
Not that, nothing at all
Not this, nothing at all
What's your type?
Do you have someone?
Come on, answer!
"I don't really know what it means to love someone"
Truth or a lie? No one can tell
Another soul falls for those words
Another heart is caught in your spell
Everyone's eyes are drawn to you
You are the ultimate and flawless idol
No one like you will ever appear again
The reincarnation of the brightest star
With that smile, with those 'I love you' words
You make everyone a prisoner of your charm
Those eyes, those words,
Even if they're lies, they are a perfect love
Oh yes, that girl is special
The rest of us were extras from the start
The side characters to her shining star
Not everything is thanks to her, you know
How ridiculous
There's no way we don't feel jealousy or envy
This isn't just for show
That's why it's unforgivable
A you that isn't perfect—I can't accept that
I can't forgive myself.
If you aren't the strongest, you're not worth it
Everyone believes in you and admires you
The strongest and undefeated idol
No weaknesses in sight
Carrying the light of the brightest star
You can't show any weakness, not ever
The parts they don't want to see—keep them hidden
If you're not one of a kind, it's meaningless
That's what it means to be a true idol
With a practiced smile, you light up the media
But only this one secret remains locked away
Stacking up 'I love yous' as a lie, building a career—
That's my own way of love
Sweat flows like beautiful clean water
Hiding rubies beneath my eyelids
Singing, dancing, soaring—I am pure
Yes, lies are the greatest kind of love
Never been loved by anyone
Never loved anyone either
But someday this lie of mine will turn real
I believe that
Someday, I'll have it all
Because I am a greedy idol
I want to love everyone properly
With my true self
That's why I tell another lie today
Praying for the day this lie becomes real
Yet still
There were two people I could never say it to
But now, finally, I can
This time, it's not a lie
I love you
With an unbeatable smile, you shake up the media
I want to uncover your mysterious secrets
Even your flaws belong only to you
Perfect and a liar, you are
