[English]

Oh, oh, oh mm

Oh, no

Listen,

Memories with you flow like a melody

I always thought it was our own theory

I still remember

I just can't forget, can't forget

Your perfume, carried by the cold breeze, still lingers

Fighting over trivial things, no real reason

But there's only you

I'm a coward

I don't need anyone else

Yeah, you're the only one

I can't go back anymore

Don't know what I should have done

I'm hopeless

I love you more than anyone

Shouting in my heart

I want to see you, but now it's too late

You're smiling with someone else

In My Head...

In My Head...

In My Head...

In My Head...

In My Head...

The house where we were together is now too big

Every day I feel lonely, it's true

Like Romeo and Juliet

More than a flashy ending, I'm forever captivated

You, gently smiling, are there

Always in my mind

Unfadeable memories

What should I do, do, do? Oh

I want to touch you

Don't know where I should go

I'm hopeless

I love you more than anyone

Shouting in my heart

I want to see you, but now it's too late

You're smiling with someone else

In My Head...

In My Head...

In My Head...

In My Head...

It's impossible now

That day, you told me

I realized for the first time

But it was already too late

No...

Hey, I'm sorry

I’ve always been selfish

But I was lonely

Back when you were mine

I loved you more than anyone

Praying for your happiness

I want to see you, but now it's too late

Lost in vague memories

In My Head..

In My Head..

In My Head..

In My Head..

In My Head

Get out of my head

Out of my head, yeah

Mm, mm, mm

[Japanese]

Oh, oh, oh mm

Oh, no

Listen,

君との Memory 流れる Melody

俺らの Theory だといつも思ってた

今でも覚えてる

Just can't forget about, forget about

冷えきった風と共に香るよ 君の Perfume

ありきたりな事で 喧嘩意味もなく

けど君しかいない

臆病な俺は

他なんていらない

yea you the only one

もう戻れない

Don't know what I should've done

ダメだ俺は

愛してるよ 誰よりも

心の中で叫んでる

会いたいけど今はもう

君は誰かと笑ってる

In My Head...

In My Head...

In My Head...

In My Head...

In My Head...

2人で居た家も今は広すぎて

Everyday 寂しい思いなのは True

まるで俺ロミオ そして君ジュリエット

派手なエンディングよりも 永遠にずっと虜

優しく笑う君がいる

頭の中にずっと

消えない記憶

What should I do, do, do? Oh

君に触れたい

Don't know where I should go

ダメだ俺は

愛してるよ 誰よりも

心の中で叫んでる

会いたいけど今はもう

君は誰かと笑ってる

In My Head...

In My Head...

In My Head...

In My Head...

もう無理だって

あの日君が告げて

初めて気づいて

けどすでに遅くて

No...

ねぇごめんね

ずっと自分勝手

だけど寂しくて

Back to when you were mine

愛してたよ 誰よりも

君の幸せ祈ってる

会いたいけど今はもう

淡い思い出に浸ってる

In My Head..

In My Head..

In My Head..

In My Head..

In My Head

Get out of my head

Out of my head, yeah

Mm, mm, mm
