[English]

I made a mistake again

How many times have I loved like this?

I'm drowning to the point I can't even tell anymore

If it's just a selfish wish

Then I’ll stop now

Breaking again for myself

...

Rain dances on soft skin

The color of the ending is gray, it was just ordinary

Fading into each of our lives

With hope in mind, singing like a prayer

What were you looking at deep in your trembling eyes? Hey

Where did I go wrong?

Ah, I had another dream

Was that also a dream?

I remember so vividly I want to forget it all

If everything, this or that, is different, I hid it all away

Waiting for you behind the lies

...

A lukewarm breeze caresses my skin

Listening to the chirping of birds resting their wings

Happiness flickers so annoyingly in sight

Before I can go back, before my voice fades away

Just forgive

And then, be forgiven

That’s all I wished for, just that

If I’ve been loved, I’ll return it properly

Love me again, only me

...

Every time I hurt you, the answer keeps cracking open

It falls on the window like rain

It’s okay if only I get stained

The train heading into the night arrives

...

Just one thing, only one thing

Surely, just one thing

I remembered everything about love

Only you

Forever only you

I had another dream

Was that also a dream?

I remember so clearly I can’t tell anymore

If everything, this or that, is different, I hid it all away

Waiting for you behind the lies

Made another mistake

How many times has this love happened?

I'm drowning to the point I can't tell anymore

Even if it's just a selfish wish or a lie

Break me again for my sake

Hey, break me again for my sake

Kill me again, for my sake

...

[Japanese]

また 間違えた

これで何度目の愛だ？

もう わからないくらいに溺れている

ただのわがままなら

これでやめるから

もう一度 壊れて 私のために

柔らかい肌で雨が踊る

結末の色はグレイ ありふれていたんだって

それぞれの暮らしの中に煙る

願い込めて 歌うように

揺れる瞳の奥 何を見つめていたの？ ねぇ

間違えていたのはどこから？

Ah また 夢を見た

それもまた夢の中？

もう 忘れたいくらいに憶えている

あれもこれも違うならすべてを隠した

嘘の裏側であなたを待っている

生ぬるい風が肌を撫でる

羽根を休めた鳥のさえずりを聞く

目障りなほど 幸せがちらついて

戻れなくなる前に 声が遠くなる前に

ただ 許すだけ

あとは 許されるだけ

それだけを望んでしまった それだけを

愛された分なら ちゃんと返すから

もう一度 愛して ただ私だけを

傷つけてしまうたび 綻んでいく答えが

窓辺をつく 雨のように降る

汚れていくのは私だけでいいから

夜へと向かう列車が来る

ただ ひとつだけ

きっと ただ ひとつだけ

憶えていた 愛の全部

ただ あなただけ

ずっと ただ あなただけ

また 夢を見た

それもまた夢の中？

もう わからないくらいに憶えている

あれもこれも違うならすべてを隠した

嘘の裏側であなたを待っている

また 間違えた

これで何度目の愛だ？

もう わからないくらいに溺れている

ただのわがままでも 嘘でもいいから

もう一度 壊れて 私のために

ねえもう一度 壊れて 私のために

もう一度 殺して 私のために
