Genius Translations
Pentatonix - Pretender (English Translation)
Our love story, just as expected
When it starts, it's just a one-man show
Even though I was always by your side, I'm just in the audience
An apology without emotion, just like always
It's not so bad once you get used to it

My romance with you is how life goes
I knew it would never last

I wish I had chosen a different setting, a different relation
A different world-line where I could meet you
I wish I had been able to show my love in a different personality
With different values
But I know it's pointless

Goodbye
I'm not your soulmate
It hurts, but I can't deny it, but it's still hard to let go
It hurts just to touch your hair, but
It feels so sweet, no no

Goodbye
So, what are you to me?
I don't know the answer, I don't want to know the answer
If there's just one thing I know that's true, it's that
"You're beautiful"

Some self-important person lecturing about love
But nothing makes any sense
It's like seeing the nightscape of an unknown city from an airplane window

I wish I had chosen a different setting, a different relation
A different world-line where I could meet you
I wish I could have had that love come true, and told you "I love you" without any responsibility
With a pure heart
But it's an empty wish

Goodbye
There's an end line beyond the hand I hold
Every time it's prolonged, at the end of a tingling future
You're not there, and I cry at that truth
It's just too painful

Goodbye
I'm not your soulmate
It hurts, but I can't deny it, but it's still hard to let go
It hurts just to touch your hair, but
It feels so sweet, no no

Goodbye
So, what are you to me?
I don't know the answer, I don't want to know the answer
If there's just one thing I know that's true, it's that
"You're beautiful"

(If this is all the rules of romance, it's not so bad)
It's not so bad
(Eternity cannot make any promises, but)
Ah

"You're so beautiful"
