Megurine Luka's "Fragile System: Boys and Girls"

I looked at a couple different translations for this song, neither of which I felt completely captured the rhythm of the song in English. Here's a transliterated version based on Tatenia and animeyay's translations of the song. Please let me know if you decide to use them, because I know I will be.

Transliteration

One more time

Why are standing there crouched like that?
Is your mother coming to save you now?
Your head is a carousel of melancholy

You show no sign of leaving silently
Crying and screaming in blurred reality
Really wanting to see you is beside the fact

“It’s for adults to handle” is falsely said
Self destruction happens after acting cool
It’s not really clear how many times I’ve really perished

Serving up perseverance you disguise
A gentle sense of false kindness
Take that bored attitude and tear down everything

One more time, one more time
If I could just see you…
One more time, one more time,
Please hit the reset button
One more time, one more time,
What are the words I truly want to say?
One more time, one more time…

What’re are you doing still standing still?
Did someone stand you up and leave you there?
Put on a sad face and dance through the night silently!
You show no sign of dying quietly
But you cut your wrist in blurred reality
Really, who are you trying to care about now?

“I’m single” is said in a bitter tone
Actually there’s someone looking for you
Even if you leave me, I always find you running back

When your heart turns into something else,
Twisted into hidden ugliness
No matter the foolishness it’s time to burn down everything

One more time, one more time
If I could just see you…
One more time, one more time
Please hit the reset button
One more time, one more time,
What are the words I truly want to say?
One more time, one more time…

One more time
