Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

あなたのパーツがひとつひとつと

Your parts are gradually drifting apart, one by one.

順に離れてく冷たさ感じてる

Feeling the coldness as it slowly separates from you.

それはまるでこの身体のどこか

It's like a part of my body has been torn away.

一部をもがれたような痛みだわ

The pain feels like a piece of me has been ripped out.

人を求め　人を憎み　人を信じた

I’ve sought out love, hated love, and trusted love.

結局は傷つけた傷と一緒に生きていく

In the end, I live with the scars we've left.

最後の言葉だとか考えているんでしょう

You probably think about your final words, don’t you?

そんなの1秒も聞きたくないわ

I don’t want to hear that even for a second.

あなたは思い出になる事で永遠になる

You become eternal by turning into a memory.

それって何よりもズルい事だわ

That’s more than anything, just so unfair.

あたしを返して

Please give me back.

可愛く微笑み合ってたふたり

The two of us smiling sweetly at each other.

まだ明日のこと見えていた頃ね

Back when we could still see tomorrow.

永遠がないのはわかっていても

Even knowing that eternity isn’t real,

終わりも近くに感じてなかったわ

I didn’t feel that the end was near.

夜に紛れ　朝に溶けて　心なくした

Getting lost in the night, melting into the morning, I lost my heart.

さよならも言えないほど全て忘れてしまいたい

I just want to forget everything, so I can’t even say goodbye.

最後の笑顔なんて覚えていたくないわ

I don’t want to remember that final smile.

眠ってるフリをしてるうちに消えて

It disappears as I pretend to sleep.

愛されたいと願うあたしが誰のことも

And I, longing to be loved, am sure that I love no one.

愛せないことにあなたはきっと

You’ve probably realized that I can’t love anyone.

最後の言葉だとか考えているんでしょう

I wonder if you think about your final words, don’t you?

そんなの1秒も聞きたくないわ

I don’t want to hear that even for a second.

あなたは思い出になる事で永遠になる

You become eternal by turning into a memory.

それって何よりもズルい事だわ

That’s more than anything, just so unfair.

最後の笑顔なんて覚えていたくないわ

I don’t want to remember that final smile.

眠ってるフリをしてるうちに消えて

It disappears as I pretend to sleep.

愛されたいと願うあたしが誰のことも

And I, longing to be loved, am sure that I love no one.

愛せないことにあなたはきっと

You’ve probably realized that I can’t love anyone.

気付いたのね

You’ve finally realized it, haven’t you?
