[English]

Last time, I broke my heart

I’m never going to love anyone again

I can say that now

Even though it was so painful

I’m falling in love >3 Why?

Falling in love >3 Did it again

Bitch

I still can't believe I met someone this good

Are you still disbelief that it’s real?

I'm such an idiot for doubting her

Just give it a rest already

Worrying too much about her moves

Pushing myself to meet her, even if it's forced

Still unstable, struggling

Searching for an exit—compared to you

Am I in love?

Or just pretending to be in love

To the point of losing myself

Just a night craving you

Falling in love >3 Why?

Falling in love >3 Did it again

I’m a Bitch

Last time, I broke my heart

I’m never gonna love anyone again

I can say that now

Even though it was so painful

I’m falling in love >3 Why?

Falling in love >3 Did it again

Bitch

Sleepless nights

You’re just like triazolam (a sleep medication)

You’re my owner

I choose not to bite

Dreaming of someone else in your arms, dog

Dreams will eventually fade

The Asian Doll that troubles me

It’s all your fault

Nah, it’s my fault

It’s not her fault, it’s probably all mine

Places I love, things I enjoy

If possible, with the girl I love

If u wanna luv?

If u wanna luck?

Then stay with me

Just like a canon chord—unchanging

Keeping it simple, in everyday life, we won’t drown in it

Time apart is fleeting

If so, I want to stay by your side forever

Am I in love?

Or just pretending to be in love

To the point of losing myself

Just a night craving you

Falling in love >3 Why?

Falling in love >3 Did it again

I’m a Bitch

Last time, I broke my heart

I’m never gonna love anyone again

I can say that now

Even though it was so painful

I’m falling in love >3 Why?

Falling in love >3 Did it again

Bitch

Last time, I broke my heart

I’m never gonna love anyone again

I can say that now

Even though it was so painful

I’m falling in love >3 Why?

Falling in love >3 Did it again

I’m a Bitch

最後のBreak my heart

もう誰も好きにならないよ

そう言える程

苦しかったのに

I fallin love >3 どうして？

Fallin love >3 did it again

Bitch

こんないい子と出会えたのが

未だに信じられないのか

どうしても彼女を疑うバカな俺

もういい加減にしとけて

あの子の動向気にしすぎて

無理やりでも会おうとしすぎて

不安定なままで、もがいて

君という出口を探すよ

恋をしてるのか

恋の真似事をしてるのか

わからなくなるほど

ただ君を求める夜

Fallin love >3 did it again

寝付けない夜

君はまるでマイスリー

君が俺の飼い主

噛みつきはしない主義

君の胸の中で違う誰の夢を見てるDog

夢はいずれ醒める

俺を困らす Asian Doll

全部君のせい

Nah 俺のせい

あの子悪くなくてきっと全部俺のせい

好きな場所 好きな事

できれば一緒に好きな子と

If u wanna luv?

If u wanna luck?

それなら俺と一緒にいよう

ただカノンコードのよう変わらない

日常でいい 俺ら沼らない

会わない時間が儚い

それならずっと側にいたい

恋をしてるのか

恋の真似事をしてるのか

わからなくなるほど

ただ君を求める夜

I fallin love >3 どうして？

Fallin love >3 did it again
