ラブソング – Bilingual Lyrics Japanese/English
Lyrics & Translation
We were obsessed with each other's sorrow
The pain of our loss was so intense, it felt like we were licking each other's wounds
Even a fleeting pleasure would be fine
I'm so ashamed of being alive, it's unbearable
I want to think it's just my imagination, but I couldn't
I couldn't even sleep without you
I want to leave a scar on your delicate cheek, like it's made of porcelain
That's all we're capable of, us worthless people
Singing about love and romance, it's all just nonsense
I want to be intoxicated by the poison that is you
I've started thinking about sad things, and it's an endless loop
This toxic encounter, I've been waiting for it for so long
You're toxic, the worst, and my dearest, a gentle hell
I still can't shake off the withdrawal symptoms
Is our sense of values really warped?
A life without you is laughable
The reality is like standing on one leg
Most of the world has faded to gray
My brain's pituitary gland is malfunctioning, running wild
I'm hearing things, a hallucination past 4 AM
"Everyone loves you," it tells me
The fading moonlight
Even the blessings of the night are devoured by the morning
I'm struggling to breathe again
No one loves me
If this terrible nightmare is reality, I'd rather be poisoned by you
Where's the love song for people like us, worthless as we are?
Singing about love and romance, it's all just nonsense
I want to be intoxicated by the poison that is you
My life, filled with only sad thoughts, seems worthless
Today, I'll beg again, and we'll have another toxic encounter
You're toxic, the worst, and my dearest, a dazzling darkness
I still can't shake off the withdrawal symptoms
I'm just thirsty for you
