[English]

It's not your fault that I'm still lonely

A night spent singing while thinking of someone

You said you’re the one - but I’ve always felt a bit unsettled

If this continues, you will miss me

(Tears, dance) - Ah, the nights with you are warm - but my heart is still cold

(Dance together) - Look, as we connect our blood - let’s love each other with all our hearts

(Tears, dance)

You still don’t understand - you just say I look lonely

Do you wanna marry me? That’s not what I mean - what do you really want?

Peeking into past sins - there’s no good or evil

Let’s go all the way to the end

Look at me, look at me, look at me

You said to calm down a little

Holding you tight, not wanting to hurt you

It seems you still don’t know me well

(Tears, dance) - Ah, the nights with you are warm - but my heart is still cold

(Dance together) - Look, as we connect our blood - let’s love each other with all our hearts

(Tears, dance)

Like an angel, I flutter around - clinging like a devil - (dance together)

Like an angel, I flutter around - until we both die, until we die

(Tears, dance)

Look at my wings, they’re torn - everything you’ve done to me now

Seems like a gift to me - hey darling, show me your tears

Good and evil, of course - we will face the consequences

I can’t erase it

(Tears, dance) - Ah, I won’t forget your tears - is my heart still here?

(Dance together) - No matter how foolish I’m called - please come again on rainy nights

(Tears, dance)

Like an angel, I flutter around - clinging like a devil - (dance together)

Like an angel, I flutter around - deceiving and dancing until I die - (Tears, dance)

Tears, dance

[Japanese]

まだ寂しいのは君のせいでもないよ

誰かを想い歌を歌う夜

You said you’re the one でもずっとどこか落ち着かない

このままだとあなたは私を恋しがるでしょう

（涙よ踊れ） 鳴呼あなたとの夜は暖かい でも未だに心は冷えますね

（共に踊れ） ほらこのまま2人血が繋がる ほど心を込めて愛をしましょう

（涙よ踊れ）

あなたはまだわかってない 寂しそうに見えるといつも言うだけで

Do you wanna marry me？ yesとも違うでしょ 何がしたいのよ

過去の罪を覗きに 何が善悪もないよ

もう最後まで行こうよ

Look at me, look at me, look at me

You said 少しだけ落ち着いて

傷を付けたくないと抱きしめる

未だに私をよく知らないみたいね

（涙よ踊れ） 鳴呼あなたとの夜は暖かい でも未だに心は冷えますね

（共に踊れ） ほらこのまま2人血が繋がる ほど心を込めて愛をしましょう

（涙よ踊れ）

Angel みたいに飛び回るの 悪魔みたいにしがみついて （共に踊れ）

Angel みたいに飛び回るの 2人が死ぬまで死ぬまで

（涙よ踊れ）

Look at my wings 破れてるの あなたがしてきた全ての事たちが今

私を贈ったみたいだね ねぇダーリン泣いてみせて

善も悪も当然 報いを受けるんだよ

私は消せないよ

（涙よ踊れ） 嗚呼あなたの涙を忘れません まだ私の心はありますか？

（共に踊れ） もうどれほど愚かと言われても また雨の夜にはおいでください

（涙よ踊れ）

Angel みたいに飛び回るの 悪魔みたいにしがみついて （共に踊れ）

Angel みたいに飛び回るの 私が死ぬまで騙して踊るの （涙よ踊れ）

涙よ踊れ
