YOASOBI
IDOL (English cover)
[Intro]
You can see her trolling, scrolling through the media
Keep it hidden, she's a master of mysterious
Who is she? It couldn't be! Now you see, that's her area
Your perfect total liar isn't giving up!
Extra expert idol-sama

[Verse 1]
What did you eat today?
What author is your fav?
Where do you go on weekends when you wanna get away?
I didn't eat a thing
But that's how it should be
No matter what they ask me
I won't tell them anything

[Verse 2]
She plays it cool
But playing them for fools
A secret barely seen, the honey sweet, but only just a peak
Is this true? No, no, no
Is that true? No, no, no
Would you say that he's your type?
Well who's the guy?
Tell me everything!
[Pre-Chorus]
"I don't know if I can love someone at all
I don't know how it feels, if I even wanna fall"
What's a lie? What is true love? You never know
But I'll say those words again
So I can turn another head
And make them love me 'til the end

[Chorus]
"Look at me", she seems to pull their eyes away
Oh, behold your one and only perfect idol
Far too bright to ever shine again
She's an evening star about to ascend
Ah, her smile from above, her pretty words of love
Enchanting them in fantasies 'til they all fall for you
The twinkle in her eyes, the abounding lies that make
The picture perfect love finally come true

[Verse 3]
(Yeah) Right, right, she's so special, she can never miss
Ya'll can try, but she's just better than all of the rest
Holding up the star, yeah, we're just backup, couldn't B less
She's the reason, now I'm seethin', wanna be it (the best)
My, how they defy
How could she not be jealous and sly?
Purer than I?
Feeling the hatred inside, she can't be perfect - a lie!
No, weakness to find
Hating you more every time
But hate me more every time
Nobody other than you
Would I allow to rival my climb
[Chorus]
They believe in her and worship every day
What a strong and perfect, undefeated idol
Does she have a flaw? No, not at all
She's an evening star, you can't make her fall
So don't break down, don't show them even for a second
You don't wanna break the idol girl immersion
Be their one and only, be the one to get it
That's the only true way to be loved

[Bridge]
You can see her smiling, winding around the media
Keeping hidden something secret, yeah, the only one
Saying "I love you" made a living off it, play it up
Did you know that it's her super special kind of love?
Running down my face, the sweat is colored aqua
Ruby eyes that hide behind, a curtain keeping shut
I'm singing and dancing for the people, call me Maria
Yeah, lying is the only way to really love

[Pre-Chorus]
After all, I don't know how it really feels
To be loved by someone or to love somebody real
But I still believe and maybe if I pray
All the lies that I say will come true someday
('Til then I can wait)
[Chorus]
I'll take it all, they'll see that everything is mine
Yeah, you know, it's me, you're super greedy idol
Let me reach the whole entire world
Let them know they're loved by this single girl
Again, I'll lie just as I said
But hoping in the end
These words will alter into something true that I meant
Yet I never did convey
What I couldn't ever say to you, and only you - let me today

[Outro]
Ah, finally I can try
To tell you how I do truly love you
And it's not a lie
