[English]

We can only fill it with love

We can only sing about love

We can only fill it with love

We can only sing about love

It's easy to make excuses like "in this era"

But in reality, we can't just run away

Spiraling with LOVE & HATE

Somehow clinging to this Earth

On a path where we don't know where it ends

Before regretting, say it honestly

Pretenses won't resonate

Open your heart, don't look away

Even if it breaks, love conquers love

We can only fill it with love

We can only sing about love

Because love cannot be faked

J.S.B. LOVE, J.S.B. LOVE

WE GOTTA BRING IT BACK TO LOVE

WE GOTTA BRING IT BACK TO LOVE

WE GOTTA BRING IT BACK TO LOVE

We can only fill it with love

We can only sing about love

We can only fill it with love

Because love cannot be faked

J.S.B. LOVE, J.S.B. LOVE

We can't just talk about results, between dreams and love

We don't need anything that doesn't resonate beyond eras

You understand both LOVE & HATE when you experience them

It would be quite easy to just say "it's difficult"

In this world overflowing with lines without love

You're not alone, say it as you feel

There's no one without love

LOVE & HATE, the front and back, one meaning

Once you realize, you can't stop anymore

We can only fill it with love

We can only sing about love

Because love cannot be faked

J.S.B. LOVE, J.S.B. LOVE

WE GOTTA BRING IT BACK TO LOVE

“こんな時代だから”なんて言い訳するのは簡単で

でも実際に逃げ出すことなどできない

LOVE & HATEで渦巻いて回る

この地球にどうにかしがみつく

どこで終わるか分かりやしない道の上で

後悔する前に 本音のまま Say it

建前なんて 響くはずなんてないし

こころを開いて 目そらさないで

壊れたって そう 愛が愛を制す

時代超えて響かないものなどいらない

LOVE & HATEって両方食らって分かる

“難しいね”で終わりゃ相当ラク

愛のないセリフで溢れてるこの世界で

1人じゃないし 感じたままsay it

愛のないやつ なんて居るわけないし

LOVE & HATE 裏と表 一つの意味

気づいたなら もう 止める事出来ない

(J.S.B. LOVE) 愛で満たすしかない

(LOVE) 愛を歌うしかない

(LOVE) 愛は偽れないから

(LOVE) J.S.B. LOVE, J.S.B. LOVE
