Idol (From "Oshi no Ko") - English

See that smile going viral in the media?
No one knows her secrets, yes
She's so mysterious
Being lovely and oblivious is just her area
She is perfect and a pretty little liar, yeah?
Gorgeous, stunning idol, a star!

So what'd you eat today?
And what's your favourite book?
And if you were to go have fun, where would you pick to go?
I didn't eat at all
And I won't say a thing
No matter what they ask, it seems she'll always slip away

So distant, cold, but with a glitz and glow
All of the secrets we're discovering taste so sugar sweet
And if she sighs, denies
And if she's sly and shy
But still what kind of guy? Person you like?
Hey, just answer me!

How is falling in love just supposed to feel?
I don't know, still don't know what is real or what's a lie
But these words are just enough to make you fall
Once again and once again
Repeating it as much as you want to, another falling through

'Cause you're captivating every single eye
You're the ultimate and picture-perfect idol!
Like an evening star that's been reborn
That will never live again in this world

A-ah, the love you sing and shout
The smile pouring out
Keeps tempting every single eye and heart within the crowd
Even if they're all lies
You know you can't deny that by design, this is love, perfect love!

Right, right, she's so special and so perfect, yes
We're just extras on the sideline, being her witness
In the background we're performing as B-grade support for this
Everything is 'cause of her 'cause she's so precious, as if

Why? It's all a lie
'Cause we're all filled with envy inside
Hurting our pride
Nobody's laughing tonight
I can't even let it all slide
'Cause you're just a lie!
You're just a fake, it's a crime!
I'll never forgive you or I
I won't allow anybody but only the strongest and perfect inside!

Everyone adores and worships every move
You're invincible, the strongest, perfect idol!
I can't find a flaw in you at all
You're a shining star, embracing our world

Don't let anyone see the weakness in your heart
Don't show the world anything they don't want to know
'Cause you must be the one, the only one that they need
'Cause that's really love! That's truly love!

See my signature? My smile in the media?
I just have a single secret that I'm keeping up
I've built my world on this lie of loving everyone
But it's just my style, my expression of true love!

All the sweat that's running down my face is pure Aqua
Ruby in my eyes, you'll see it in the camera
And every song I sing and dance makes me like Maria
So, I'll keep lying, 'cause to me that's really love!

No one's ever really loved the me inside
And in turn, I'm the same, how do I love anyone?
But I still believe someday it will come true
All my lies will be real, I will see it through
(I believe in you)

Someday I'll finally have everything in life
I'm a greedy, selfish, cunning little idol
I wish I could really love them all
Everyone and everything in this world

But still, I'm lying once again
I'm really praying that
One day these words I keep repeating will become true
And even all this time
Even though I wanted to, I couldn't ever say those words to you

Ah, finally it's time
It's really not a lie
I can truly say that
I love you
