[English]

If you break a promise, I'll blow it off

I'll take any pain, just give me Monday

It doesn't matter if it's Sunday

Mirror, mirror, who is the best in this world?

Who gives me a love that never changes?

No need to ask 'cause it's my darling

I want you to be my last

Rather than parting ways with you like this

I'd rather die

I'd rather die

I prefer you over three meals a day

Rather than parting ways with you like this

I'd rather die

I'd rather die

Still, sometimes my heart flutters

Even if I die, I'll show you I can heal, baby

Yeah, I ain't nothin' but your baby

Only realizing after losing you

I won't do such a lame thing anymore, goodbye

Oh don't you ever say bye-bye

Yeah

I want you to be my last

Rather than parting ways with you like this

I'd rather die

I'd rather die

I prefer you over three meals a day

Rather than parting ways with you like this

I'd rather die

I'd rather die

...

I want you to be my last

Rather than parting ways with you like this

I'd rather die

I'd rather die

I prefer you over three meals a day

Rather than parting ways with you like this

I'd rather die

I'd rather die

Still, sometimes my heart flutters

I don't need such lame things anymore, bye-bye

I'll always stick with you, my baby

...

[Japanese]

指切りげんまん ホラでも吹いたら

針でもなんでも 飲ませていただき Monday

It doesn't matter if it's Sunday

鏡よ鏡よ この世で1番

変わることのない 愛をくれるのはだれ

No need to ask 'cause it's my darling

わたしの最後はあなたがいい

あなたとこのままおサラバするより

死ぬのがいいわ

死ぬのがいいわ

三度の飯よりあんたがいいのよ

あんたとこのままおサラバするよか

死ぬのがいいわ

死ぬのがいいわ

それでも時々 浮つく my heart

死んでも治らな治してみせます baby

Yeah, I ain't nothin' but your baby

失って初めて気がつくなんて

そんなダサいこと もうしたないのよ Goodbye

Oh don't you ever say bye-bye

Yeah

わたしの最後はあなたがいい

あなたとこのままおサラバするより

死ぬのがいいわ

死ぬのがいいわ

三度の飯よりあんたがいいのよ

あんたとこのままおサラバするよか

死ぬのがいいわ

死ぬのがいいわ

わたしの最後はあなたがいい

あなたとこのままおサラバするより

死ぬのがいいわ

死ぬのがいいわ

三度の飯よりあんたがいいのよ

あんたとこのままおサラバするよか

死ぬのがいいわ

死ぬのがいいわ

それでも時々浮つく my heart

そんなダサいのは もう要らないのよ bye-bye

I'll always stick with you, my baby
