Growls and Purrs Lyrics English Translation by Jo Yuri
Today was one of those strange days
Where I didn’t say a single word
To anyone at all
Now no matter who I meet
I don’t feel curious anymore
Is that how it’s supposed to be?
When I feel like tears might fall
This habit of laughing instead—
I wonder when it started
Now I miss those times
When I dreamed of things I can’t have anymore
You know the me from back then, right?
When I say I wanna be alone
And suddenly hide away by myself
It’s not ’cause I don’t wanna be with you
Sometimes my hands are like a cat’s
Even if you hold them
They might sting and hurt—I’m sorry
But will you still hold me tight?
When I feel like tears might fall
This habit of laughing instead—
I wonder when it started
Now even when I want to cry
The tears won’t come—I hate myself
I don’t even know me anymore
When I say I wanna be alone
And suddenly hide away by myself
It’s not ’cause I don’t wanna be with you
Sometimes my heart is like a puppy’s
Even if it’s really hard
It might bark again and again—I’m sorry
But please, just hold me tight
