Lyricists love to exploit the similarity between 糸 (ito, thread) and 意図 (ito, intention). The choruses use the second, but the string imagery doesn’t carry over to English unless we specifically include thread in the translation.
歌詞
間違いなら見ないふりばかりして
なんども知らない気持ちを結んだだろう?
後悔とかいつでも断ち切れたら
長い長い焦燥も楽にできるさ
ほつれかけてた純情を今
まさに君が紡いでしまった
絡まる意図が濡れて解けなくて
どこにも逃げられやしない
切り離してしまえば忘れるのに
どうして どうして できないんだろう
どうして どうしてなのだろう
もしも過去を全部やり直せるなら
出会えるあの日に戻って
君の首を締め付けるさ
嘘だよ そんなことできないから
今だって消えない痛みを紡いでいるの
いつか忘れてしまう時
何もかも捨ててあげる
だから今は馬鹿にしてよ
まだ 幼い痛みを績みだすの
溢れる意図が喉を縛り付けて
どこにも届きやしない
振りほどいてしまえば消えてくのに
どうして どうしてできないんだろう
絡まる意図が濡れて解けなくて
どこにも逃げられやしない
私はまだここで動けないから
どうか どうか 私を
気づいて 笑って 解いて

Translation
If things were wrong, I just pretended not to notice.
How many unknown feelings have I tied together?
Whenever I felt regret, I could always cut it off.
I could comfortably do the same with persistent irritation.
To think, the one to sew my frayed innocence
was you, in the end.
The threads of intention twined around me get wet. I can no longer untie them.
I can’t run away anywhere…
If I cut myself loose, I’d forget
but why can’t I do it?
Why, why can’t I do it?
If I could do it all over again,
I’d return to the day we met
and I’d strangle you.
That’s a lie. After all, I could never do such a thing.
Even now, I spin a tale of pain that will not fade away.
When you someday forget,
I’ll throw everything away for you.
So stay foolish for now.
I’m still spinning together this childish pain.
Overflowing threads of intention strangle me.
They won’t arrive anywhere.
If I shook myself loose, they’d disappear
so why, why can’t I do it?
The threads of intention twined around me get wet. I can no longer untie them.
I can’t run away anywhere…
I still can’t move from where I am now
so please, please,
Notice me, smile, and untie me…
