[English]

You are my only sun, the one and only in the world

I bloomed towards you, but I'm still so thirsty

It's too late, too late, I can't live without you

Even if the branches wither, I reach out with all my strength

Even if I reach out, it's just a dream that will break soon (dream, dream)

Even if I run like crazy, I'm just in the same place (place, place)

Just burn me up, yeah, push me away more

This is the sprint of a fool crazy in love

Make me run more

Make me run more

Even if my feet are full of wounds

Because I smile just by seeing your face

Again run, run, run, I can't stop

Again run, run, run, I can't help it

Anyway, this is all I can do

I can only love you

Again run, run, run, it's okay if I fall

Again run, run, run, it's okay if I get hurt

Even if I can't have you, I'm satisfied

Oh foolish fate, curse me

Run (don't tell me bye, bye)

Run (you made me cry, cry)

Run (love is a lie, lie)

(Don't tell me, don't tell me, don't tell me bye, bye)

They say it's all over, but I can't stop

I can't tell if it's sweat or tears, I can't distinguish anymore (oh)

My naked love and the rough storm winds

Just make me run more, along with my heart

Make me run more

Make me run more

Even if my feet are full of wounds

Because I smile just by seeing your face

Again run, run, run, I can't stop

Again run, run, run, I can't help it

Anyway, this is all I can do

I can only love you

Again run, run, run, it's okay if I fall

Again run, run, run, it's okay if I get hurt

Even if I can't have you, I'm satisfied

Oh foolish fate, curse me

Memories are breaking apart like dry petals

From my fingertips, beneath my feet, running behind your back

Like chasing a butterfly, wandering in a dream, following your traces

Show me the way, stop me a bit, let me breathe

Again run, run, run, I can't stop

Again run, run, run, I can't help it

Anyway, this is all I can do

I can only love you

Again run, run, run, it's okay if I fall

Again run, run, run, it's okay if I get hurt

Even if I can't have you, I'm satisfied

Oh foolish fate, curse me

Run (don't tell me bye, bye)

Run (you made me cry, cry)

Run (love is a lie, lie)

(Don't tell me, don't tell me, don't tell me bye, bye)

[Japanese]

넌 내 하나뿐인 태양, 세상에 딱 하나

널 향해 피었지만 난 자꾸 목말라

너무 늦었어, 늦었어, 너 없이 살 순 없어

가지가 말라도 더 힘껏 손을 뻗어

손 뻗어봤자 금세 깨버릴 꿈 (꿈, 꿈)

미칠 듯 달려도 또 제자리일 뿐 (뿐, 뿐)

그냥 날 태워줘, 그래, 더 밀쳐 내줘

이건 사랑에 미친 멍청이의 뜀박질

더 뛰게 해줘

나를 더 뛰게 해줘

두 발에 상처만 가득해도

네 얼굴만 보면 웃는 나니까

다시 run, run, run, 난 멈출 수가 없어

또 run, run, run, 난 어쩔 수가 없어

어차피 이것밖에 난 못해

너를 사랑하는 것밖엔 못해

다시 run, run, run, 넘어져도 괜찮아

또 run, run, run, 좀 다쳐도 괜찮아

가질 수 없다 해도 난 족해

바보 같은 운명아 나를 욕해

Run (don't tell me bye, bye)

Run (you made me cry, cry)

Run (love is a lie, lie)

(Don't tell me, don't tell me, don't tell me bye, bye)

다 끝난 거라는데 난 멈출 수가 없네

땀인지 눈물인지, 나 더는 분간 못해 (오)

내 발가벗은 사랑도 거친 태풍 바람도

나를 더 뛰게만 해, 내 심장과 함께

더 뛰게 해줘

나를 더 뛰게 해줘

두 발에 상처만 가득해도

네 얼굴만 보면 웃는 나니까

다시 run, run, run, 난 멈출 수가 없어

또 run, run, run, 난 어쩔 수가 없어

어차피 이것밖에 난 못해

너를 사랑하는 것밖엔 못해

다시 run, run, run, 넘어져도 괜찮아

또 run, run, run, 좀 다쳐도 괜찮아

가질 수 없다 해도 난 족해

바보 같은 운명아 나를 욕해

추억들이 마른 꽃잎처럼 산산이 부서져 가

내 손끝에서, 내 발밑에서, 달려가는 네 등 뒤로

마치 나비를 쫓듯 꿈 속을 헤매듯 너의 흔적을 따라가

길을 알려줘, 날 좀 멈춰줘, 날 숨 쉬게 해줘

다시 run, run, run, 난 멈출 수가 없어

또 run, run, run, 난 어쩔 수가 없어

어차피 이것밖에 난 못해

너를 사랑하는 것밖엔 못해

다시 run, run, run, 넘어져도 괜찮아

또 run, run, run, 좀 다쳐도 괜찮아

가질 수 없다 해도 난 족해

바보 같은 운명아 나를 욕해

Run (don't tell me bye, bye)

Run (you made me cry, cry)

Run (love is a lie, lie)

(Don't tell me, don't tell me, don't tell me bye, bye)
