[English]

Loser alone, just bravado in solitude

Anyway, I'm just a worthless, half-hearted guy

Just a loser, alone, the melody is rough

scars in my reflection, I am the one

Honestly, I can't get along with the world

I want to forget about love itself

Time flows, and I can't fight against it

Can’t listen to this love song anymore

We’re domesticated, trained to stay in line

Being played with, sad clowns in a show

Walking tired, I'm coming home

I want to return to my heart’s homeland

Ah, since when, yeah

Staring down at the ground more than the sky, oh

So hard I can’t breathe

Even though it’s painful, no hand of salvation is offered, I’m a

Loser alone, just bravado in solitude

Anyway, I’m just a worthless, half-hearted guy

Just a loser, alone, the melody is rough

scars in my reflection, I am the one

One-night love, heading home with someone

There’s no love, just keeps repeating

For the sake of my desire-driven life

Ruined everything, the current me

My impulses unstoppable, ecstasy

No thrill or high, just a cold feeling

All alone on the edge of a cliff, so I’m going home

Even hope to return is now the end

Ah, since when, yeah

Starting to care about others’ gazes, oh

Tears have dried up, already

Want to laugh, but no one notices, I’m a

Loser alone, just bravado in solitude

Anyway, I’m just a worthless, half-hearted guy

Just a loser, alone, the melody is rough

scars in my reflection, the one looking down on me

That sky above

Lower my burdens, I want to say goodbye

When I reach the end of this road

So I can close my eyes and sleep without regret

Loser alone, just bravado in solitude

Anyway, I’m just a worthless, half-hearted guy

Just a loser, alone, the melody is rough

scars in my reflection, I’m a Loser

I’m a loser

I’m a loser

I’m a loser

...

[Japanese]

Loser 一人 ただ孤独な虚勢

どうせ クソなハンパ者

Just a loser 一人 荒んでくメロディ

創痕 鏡の中の I'm a

正直 世間とは折り合わないさ

愛なんてものは 忘れたいんだ

時は流れ逆らえず

これ以上 聞いてられないラヴソング

オレらは飼いならされてるよ

遊ばされてる 悲しきピエロ

歩き疲れて I'm comin' home

また戻りたい 心の故郷

あぁ いつからか yeah

空より地面のほうを見つめ oh

息できないほど

ツラくても差し出されない救いの手 I'm a

Loser 一人 ただ孤独な虚勢

どうせ クソなハンパ者

Just a loser 一人 荒んでくメロディ

創痕 鏡の中の I'm a

ワンナイトラヴ 誰かと朝帰り

愛情はない またくり返し

欲望だけの my lifeの為に

すべてを台無しにした 今の自分

衝動は止められない エクスタシー

スリルも昂ぶりもない 冷めた気分

崖っぷちに一人 so I'm going home

戻りたい希望さえ もう最後

あぁ いつからか yeah

周りの視線 気にし始め oh

涙は枯れた もう

笑いたいのに誰も気付かないって I'm a

Loser 一人 ただ孤独な虚勢

どうせ クソなハンパ者

Just a loser 一人 荒んでくメロディ

創痕 鏡の中の

オレを見下ろす あの空

肩の荷を降ろして I want to say goodbye

この道の果て着く頃

悔いなく目を閉じて眠れるように

Loser 一人 ただ孤独な虚勢

どうせ クソなハンパ者

Just a loser 一人 荒んでくメロディ

創痕 鏡の中の I'm a Loser

I'm a loser

I'm a loser

I'm a loser
