[English]

I apologize

This is the end for us

Goodbye, that's already enough

Even if I regret it now, it's too late

Ah, like a sandcastle

Crumbling silently, perfect world

No lingering feelings for painful memories, nothing

I don't need your love

Stop making excuses, no (yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)

If you're just trying to please me, stop (yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)

I have no life to dedicate to you

Don't make me hate you more (oh-oh)

I just want you to keep away

Get out, get lost

From this heart, remission

Get out, get lost

You have no place to return to, shut it down

Get back and go

I'll see you off, bye-bye-bye (oh-oh)

I just want you to keep away

Couples walking in the streets are like the two of us back then

Did you forget that shine?

Who could have imagined such a cruel ending? Oh

Ooh, after the storm

It looks different from yesterday, brand new sky

There is hope in a future without you

'Cause my life goes on

Stop making excuses, no (yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)

If you're just trying to please me, stop (yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)

I have no life to dedicate to you

Don't make me hate you more (oh-oh)

I just want you to keep away

Get out, get lost

From this heart, remission

Get out, get lost

You have no place to return to, shut it down

Get back and go

I'll see you off, bye-bye-bye (oh-oh)

I just want you to keep away

Ah-yeah-yeah-yeah (yeah)

La-la-la-la

Wanna keep away

Even if I say it, judge and choice

I apologized, I was wrong (Yeah-eh-eh)

My sins and punishments for holding onto dreams

Get out, you lost

From this heart, remission

Get out, you lost

You have no place to return to, shut it down

Go back and go

I'll see you off, bye-bye-bye (oh-oh)

The pretty words I lined up (yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)

Sound like lies, oh (yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)

I have no love to share with you

Can't stay here anymore (oh-oh)

I just wanna be far away

Get out, get lost

From that heart, escape now

Get out, get lost

So sick of it, let you down

Never again

A world that doesn't intersect, I hope so (oh-oh)

I just wanna be far away

...

[Japanese]

愛想なくて I apologize

君とはこれでおしまい

さよならただ already enough

悪がったって後悔したって今更 It's too late

Ah 砂の城みたい

音もなく崩れてく Perfect world

苦境な思い出に未練なくなって Nothing

I don't need your love

言い訳やめて No (yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)

Did you forget that shine?
