歌手/和訳

[Verse]

What makes a grown man wanna cry? (Cry, cry, cry, cry)
大人の男が泣きたくなることってなんだろう？

What makes him wanna take his life?(Yeah)
死にたくなるようなことってなんだろう？

His happiness is never real (Real, real, real, real)
あの幸せは本当の幸せじゃなかった

And mindless sex is how he feels, ooh, he feels
心のない関係しか知らないんだ

[Chorus]
When it's time, when it's time, when it's time
時間が経てば

It won't matter (it don't matter)
It won't matter (matter)
気にならなくなる

When it's time, when it's time, when it's time (time, it's time, babe)
時間が経てば

It won't matter (it won't matter, babe)

It won't matter (ya)

気にならなくなる

It was like he was never there (It was like he was never there)
まるでなかったように

It was like he was gone in thin air, oh
どこかへ消えていってしまうだろう

When it's time, when it's time, when it's time, oh baby
時間が経てば

It won't matter, it won't matter, baby
気にならなくなるさ

[Post-Chorus]
When it's time, when it's time, when it's time
時間が経てば

It won't matter, it won't matter
気にならなくなる

When it's time, when it's time, when it's time
時間が経てば

It was like he was never there 
まるでなかったように

It was like he was gone in thin air, oh
どこかへ消えていってしまうだろう

It was like it was gone in thin air

どこかへ消えていってしまうだろう

When it's time, when it's time, when it's time
時間が経てば

It won't matter, it won't matter

気にならなくなるさ 

[Interlude]
When it's time, when it's time, when it's time
時間が経てば

It won't matter, it won't matter
気にならなくなる

When it's time, when it's time, when it's time
時間が経てば

It won't matter, it won't matter
気にならなくなるさ

[Bridge]
Ooh, now I know what love is
今なら愛とは何かがわかる

And I know it ain't you for sure
君じゃないことも

You'd rather something toxic
君は愛よりも毒みたいだった

So, I poison myself again, again
僕は何度も毒に侵されたんだ

'Til I feel nothing
何も感じなくなるまで

In my soul (in my soul)
魂の奧底で

I'm on the edge of something breaking
僕は壊れてしまいそうだ

I feel my mind is slowly fadin'
感じなくなってきている

If I keep going, I won't make it
このまま行ってもうまくはいかないね

If I keep going, I won't make it

このまま行ってもうまくはいかないね

[Outro]
And it's all because of you
It's all because of you
It's all because of you
It's all because of you

全部君のせいなんだ

Woah, woah
Don't you, baby, hey
そうだろ？

It won't matter, baby
気にならなくなるさ

Don't you know?
Don't you know?
そうだろ？
