Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

Hey, You know what I mean?

Hey, You know what I mean?

Let me know...

Let me know...

Let me know, Come on

Let me know, Come on

Oh, Why?

Oh, Why?

奈落の底へと 沈んでゆく太陽

The sun sinks into the depths of the abyss

全てが幻想(ゆめ)だと 突き付ける闇

The darkness confronts me, claiming everything is a dream

I can’t believe you let me down

I can’t believe you let me down

涙が意味したものは

What my tears meant

Baby, Please don’t make me sad

Baby, Please don’t make me sad

裏切りの未来

A future of betrayal

こびりついたアイシテル

The love that clings to me

拭い切れるわけもなく

I can't wipe it away

愚かでもいい 君に問う

It's okay to be foolish, I ask you

本当にこれでいい？

Is this really okay?

許せない だけど君を 信じたいよ

I can’t forgive you, but I want to believe in you

許したい だから僕と またもう一度

I want to forgive you, so let’s try again

You’ve done it. Guilty

You’ve done it. Guilty

You’re guilty ルール違反でも

You’re guilty, even if it’s against the rules

最初からやり直そう

Let’s start over from the beginning

君が望むなら

If that’s what you want

Yo, 振り返るDays それはもうMaze

Yo, looking back at the days, it’s already a maze

幼き日の嘘は時効? Hey

Is the lie from my childhood now expired? Hey

生きてる限り人はみんな

As long as we live, everyone carries

七つの大罪(つみ)背負ってるでしょ

The seven deadly sins, right?

黒白つけたがるけど (Black White)

We want to draw a line (Black White)

灰色なのさYou & I (You & I)

But it’s gray, you and I (You & I)

じゃあ何処の誰がこんな世界で 他人(ひと)を裁けるだろう?

So who in this world can judge others?

憎む方が楽になる

It’s easier to hate

背を向ける方法もある

There’s a way to turn away

逃げ道の前 僕に問う

In front of the escape route, I ask myself

本当にこれでいい?

Is this really okay?

許せない だけど君を 信じたいよ

I can’t forgive you, but I want to believe in you

許したい だから僕と またもう一度

I want to forgive you, so let’s try again

You’ve done it. Guilty

You’ve done it. Guilty

You’re guilty ルール違反でも

You’re guilty, even if it’s against the rules

最初からやり直そう

Let’s start over from the beginning

君が望むなら

If that’s what you want

こびりついたアイシテル

The love that clings to me

拭い切れるわけもなく

I can't wipe it away

愚かでもいい 君に問う

It's okay to be foolish, I ask you

本当にこれでいい？

Is this really okay?

許せない だけど君を 信じたいよ

I can’t forgive you, but I want to believe in you

許したい だから僕と またもう一度

I want to forgive you, so let’s try again

You’ve done it. Guilty

You’ve done it. Guilty

You’re guilty ルール違反でも

You’re guilty, even if it’s against the rules

最初からやり直そう

Let’s start over from the beginning

君が望むなら

If that’s what you want
