[English]

Am I saying this right or wrong?

How do you feel...

I'm so addicted to you

I'm so addicted to you, babe

Even when we first connected, it felt so long

The 'I love you' messages that can't quite reach — yeah

Am I saying this right or wrong?

How do you feel deep inside?

I'm not looking for perfection, do you know?

You were born, I met you

And I just fell in love

I don't need understanding

(Our relationship)

I just can't stop anymore

(Our chain-like partnership)

I'm so addicted to you

Addicted, addicted

A love I can't reach

Hold me tight, won't let go

An enemy with cold eyes ahead on my path

Because I was annoyed, I’ll put on a smile — yeah

Because everything’s just alright

So don’t leave me, stay here with me

Just follow what's in my heart—do you know?

If everything that happens has a meaning

Just give me the happiness I seek

No one can interfere

(Our relationship)

We can’t go back anymore

(Our chained partnership)

I'm so addicted to you

Addicted, addicted

A love I can't reach

Holding on, won't let go

Even when I feel dizzy and about to collapse

Just touching you would instantly save me

The time I spend with you is a gift

Words that say I’m still not enough

Words that say I’ll fill you up

[Japanese]

Am I talking it wrong or right?

How do you feel...

I’m so addicted to you

I’m so addicted to you babe

交わって来た時は長いのに

届きはしない「愛してる」のメッセージ Yea

(Am I talking it wrong or right?)

(How do you feel deep inside?)

完璧なんて求めてない (Do you know?)

君が生まれて僕と出会って

恋に堕ちただけ

理解なんていらない

(2人の Relationship)

ただもうやめられない

(鎖の Partnership)

I’m so addicted to you

(Addicted Addicted)

辿り着けない愛

抱いて離さない

歩いてく先に冷めた視線の Enemy

ムカついたから　笑顔してみせますから Yea

(Coz everything’s just alright)

(So don’t leave me, stay by my side)

心に従うだけ (Do you know?)

出来事全てに意味があるなら

気持ち良いのだけ頂戴

誰も邪魔できない

(2人の Relationship)

元にはもう戻れない

(鎖の Partnership)

I’m so addicted to you

(Addicted Addicted)

辿り着けない愛

抱いて離さない

目眩で倒れそうな時でも

君と触れ合えばすぐ救われたんだ

The moment with you is a gift

「足りない」僕への言葉

「満たすよ」君への言葉
