Kanashii RIZUMU ga kokoro de nariyamanai no wa
Tada shinenai dake no ROBOTTO ni natta ano hi kara
SAYONARA baby kitai ni kotaerarenai yo
Kono mama zutto kawareru ki ga shinai

Darekare kamawazu heiki de mikudashiteru no wa
Tada kashikoi dake no ROBOTTO ni natta ano hi kara
SAYONARA Baby hotondo uso ni natta kedo
Shinjitetan da matomo ni nareru tte

Kanjou nan te sutetan da
Shizuka ni nemuritai
Kedo hen da hitori de ni
Namida ga tsutatte hoho wo nurasun da
ROBOTTO no you na tsumetai boku no

Jibun no koto shika yasashiku atsukaenai no wa
Taion wo nakushita ROBOTTO ni natta ano hi kara
SAYONARA baby HARINEZUMI tachi no JIRENMA
Kono mama chanto naoseru ki ga shinai

Ashita kimi wa inaku natte
Dareka to nemuru no sa
Oh yeah oh yeah fushigi da
Namida ga tsutatte hoho wo nurasun da
ROBOTTO no you na tsumetai boku no

Sugu ni dare mo inaku natte
Hitori de nemureru sa
Oh yeah oh yeah fushigi da
Namida ga tsutatte hoho wo nurasun da
ROBOTTO no you na tsumetai boku no

SAYONARA baby


That sorrowful rhythm won’t stop echoing in my heart
Since that day I became just a robot that cannot die
Good-bye, baby, I cannot live up to your hopes
I don’t believe I can ever be changed

Calmly, coldly I look down upon everyone
Since that day I became only a wise robot
Good-bye, baby, I’m almost all lies now
I used to believe I could be honest

I’ve thrown away my emotions
I only want to sleep quietly
But it’s so strange to be alone
The flowing tears wet my cheek
So cold, so like a robot I am

I am harsh to everyone but myself
Since that day I became a lifeless robot
Good-bye, baby, it’s a hedgehog’s dilemma
I don’t believe I can ever be healed

Tomorrow you’ll be gone
Who will I rest with now?
Oh yeah, it’s a mystery
The flowing tears wet my cheek
So cold, so like a robot I am

In an instant no one will be left
I will sleep alone, then
Oh yeah, it’s strange
The flowing tears wet my cheek
So cold, so like a robot I am

Good-bye, baby…
