Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

I'm playing all my cards, I keep them close to my chest

I'm playing all my cards, I keep them close to my chest

It don't phase me when they all think I'm so innocent, yeah

It doesn't faze me when they all think I'm so innocent, yeah

I'm looking sweet, but I'm all dynamite (but I'm all dynamite)

I'm looking sweet, but I'm all dynamite (but I'm all dynamite)

Don't believe me when I say that I bite

Don't believe me when I say that I bite

Go ahead and try, boy, try your best

Go ahead and try, boy, try your best

知られてる通り I'm dangerous

As it's known, I'm dangerous

Ah 危ないの私は (uhm)

Ah, I'm dangerous (uhm)

But you know that the choice is yours

But you know that the choice is yours

Oh, you might regret if you take that step

Oh, you might regret if you take that step

Just like a rose トゲだらけの

Just like a rose, full of thorns

My heart ain't yours 醜い世界でも

My heart ain't yours, even in this ugly world

咲いた花 泥だらけでも

A flower that bloomed, even if it's muddy

I can't hide no more

I can't hide no more

With my beautiful thorns

With my beautiful thorns

Yeah いつでも人は過ぎ去った

Yeah, people always pass by

かれこれ時はだいぶ経った

It's been quite a while

え あいつ咲いた？いや多分死んだ

Hey, did that one bloom? No, probably died

この baddest トゲは自分に刺してた

These baddest thorns, I was piercing myself

If you wanna get closer, you can't resist

If you wanna get closer, you can't resist

Then baby, move in, get closer, can you handle it?

Then baby, move in, get closer, can you handle it?

Go ahead and try, boy, try your best

Go ahead and try, boy, try your best

知られてる通り I'm dangerous

As it's known, I'm dangerous

Ah, and so now that you been warned

Ah, and so now that you've been warned

You know that the choice is yours

You know that the choice is yours

Oh, you might regret if you take that step

Oh, you might regret if you take that step

Just like a rose トゲだらけの

Just like a rose, full of thorns

My heart ain't yours 醜い世界でも

My heart ain't yours, even in this ugly world

咲いた花 泥だらけでも

A flower that bloomed, even if it's muddy

I can't hide no more

I can't hide no more

With my beautiful thorns

With my beautiful thorns

朝日は昇って but I can't see it（人らはしるよしもない）

The sun rises, but I can't see it (people have no way to know)

また眠りにつくこの現実に

I fall asleep again in this reality

汗や涙も枯れてきた頃に（私のトゲを飲んで）

When sweat and tears have dried up (drinking my thorns)

まだ立ち上がる私を疑い

Still doubting me as I stand up

まだまだでもすくんだ足に（起き上がれない今日も）

Still, my feet are frozen (can't get up today either)

命がまだあるらしい

It seems like life is still here

I can't give up まだこの世界に（生きてる事を憎んで）

I can't give up, still in this world (hating the fact that I'm alive)

ありがたいと思いたいらしい

I want to feel grateful, it seems

Just like a rose トゲだらけの

Just like a rose, full of thorns

My heart ain't yours 醜い世界でも（誰もいないなら私が fly high）

My heart ain't yours, even in this ugly world (if there's no one, then I'll fly high)

咲いた花 泥だらけでも（多少の傷ならもう I'm alright）

A flower that bloomed, even if it's muddy (a few scars, I'm already alright)

I can't hide no more（今から行くから心配いらない）

I can't hide no more (I'm coming now, so no need to worry)

I'm alive now like bloom, bloom, bloom, bloom

I'm alive now like bloom, bloom, bloom, bloom

Just like a rose トゲだらけの

Just like a rose, full of thorns

My heart ain't yours 醜い世界でも (yeah)

My heart ain't yours, even in this ugly world (yeah)

咲いた花 泥だらけでも

A flower that bloomed, even if it's muddy

I can't hide no more

I can't hide no more

With my beautiful thorns

With my beautiful thorns

With my beautiful

With my beautiful

咲いた花 泥だらけでも

A flower that bloomed, even if it's muddy

I can't hide no more

I can't hide no more

With my beautiful thorns

With my beautiful thorns
