[English]

All that remains are memories of this town

Nothing is left in my hands now

The rings we used to wear together

Disappeared somewhere, no where

(No where!!)

Everything is a lie

Even your tears, I can't believe it

Standing here for no reason, drinkin' a lot

Sleepless nights, truth is in the dark

Still call your name

Again in my dreams

Lost in thought, 24/7

4...7 4...7

Illuminate me, Fire

A Fire that won't go out

All I want is Fire Fire Fire...

There's no end to this

It's not surprising

Thinking of you in my head

Wanting to change your future

It's impossible to forgive

I can’t take you back

If I could, show me what’s your love

There’s no end

It’s not surprising

Like an overdose, I want to break you apart

Today, the room is still dark

Even the sun seems to dislike me

I’ve even forgotten how to walk

Where am I now?

(No girl!!)

The you inside me

Feels like you’re searching for something

Standing here for no reason, drinkin' a lot

Hiding the truth in the darkness

Still call your name

The only one who can love you this much is me

Only me... that’s right...

Illuminate me, Fire

照らしてよ Fire

Not enough, Fire

Fleeting Fire Fire Fire...

There’s no end to this

It’s not surprising

Thinking of you in my head

Wanting to change your future

It’s impossible to forgive

I can’t take you back

If I could, show me what’s your love

There’s no end

It’s not surprising

Like an overdose, I want to break you apart

Illuminate me, Fire

A Fire that won’t go out

All I want is Fire Fire Fire...

There’s no end to this

It’s not surprising

Thinking of you in my head

Wanting to change your future

It’s impossible to forgive

I can’t take you back

If I could, show me what’s your love

There’s no end

It’s not surprising

Like an overdose, I want to break you apart

I want to break you apart

[Japanese]

思い出だけが残る町

何もないこの手元には

二人でつけてた指輪

どこかに消えたのさ No where

(No where!!)

なにもかもが偽りさ

君の涙さえも I don't believe it

意味もなく佇み Drinkin a lot

寝れない夜 真実は闇の中

Still call your name

また夢の中

迷い続ける 24/7

4...7 4...7

照らしてよ Fire

消えない Fire

欲しいのは Fire Fire Fire...

もうキリがない

無理もない

頭ん中君 Thinking of you

変えたい君の未来

許されるはずもない

I can’t take you back

叶うなら Show me what's your love

キリがない

無理もない

まるで Overdose 君を壊したい

部屋の中は今日も暗闇

太陽さえも俺を嫌う

歩き方さえ忘れた

今どこにいるんだ俺は

(No girl!!)

俺の中にいる君が

何か探してる気がしてる

意味もなく佇み Drinkin a lot

誤魔化してる真実は闇の中

Still call your name

こんなにも君を

愛せるのは俺だけさ

だけさ... なのさ...

照らしてよ Fire

足りない Fire

儚い Fire Fire Fire...

もうキリがない

無理もない

頭ん中君 Thinking of you

変えたい君の未来

許されるはずもない

I can’t take you back

叶うなら Show me what's your love

キリがない

無理もない

まるで Overdose 君を壊したい

照らしてよ Fire

消えない Fire

欲しいのは Fire Fire Fire...

もうキリがない

無理もない

頭ん中君 Thinking of you

変えたい君の未来

許されるはずもない

I can’t take you back

叶うなら Show me what's your love
