[English]

Oh oh

Oh oh

キミの中に飛び込んだ

複雑な迷路みたいだ

いつまでたっても抜けられそうにないや

気付けないまま

罠にハマってた

Suffocating, running out of breath どうしようもなくて

ただ ただただ泣いた

問題だらけで気が滅入りそう

このまま何もかも 忘れさせておくれ

何もかも キミが忘れてしまったような

そんな瞳で私を見ないで

It doesn't matter if it isn't true

受け入れられたら

それでいいじゃないか

Oh 現実からの逃避行さ

Oh oh

Oh oh

キミの中に飛び込んだ

絡まり合う嘘には

もうこりごりさ

遊ばれてポイポイ グチャグチャ

使い捨てにするんでしょ

ねぇ

気付けないまま罠にハマってた

Suffocating, running out of breath どうしようもなくて

ただ ただただ泣いた

Searching for a way to escape oh

このまま何もかも忘れさせておくれ

何もかも キミが忘れてしまったような

そんな瞳で私を見ないで

Doesn't matter if it isn't real

受け入れられたら

それでいいじゃないか

Oh 現実からの逃避行さ

I'm just suffocating here

I need escape from this place here

I wanna go away in 3, 2, 1 go

...

何もかも キミが忘れてしまったような

そんな瞳で私を見ないで

It doesn't matter if it's all a lie

受け入れられたら

それでいいじゃないか

Oh 現実からの逃避行さ

Oh oh

Oh oh

Oh oh

Oh

...
