[English]

I'm sure you are a bitter yet sweet medicine

Dissolve into every part of my body and set me free

Right now, I am being consumed by poison

And you are the only cure

Addicted to this potent drug

The air is still chilly, and I'm all alone

Walking quickly around the corner

On the familiar slope leading to your town

I stop by a convenience store just to kill time

I mustn't hope for anything at all

Even when I try to hold my feelings back

Only the lipstick you once praised me for

Is running low; I guess that's my answer

I gave you every bit of "love"

That I had for a lifetime

I'll probably end up crying alone again today

Even if it hurts this much, I still want you

I'm sure you are a bitter yet sweet medicine

Dissolve into every part of my body and set me free

I love you even more than I did yesterday

Please watch out for the strong side effects

I'm sure you are a bitter yet sweet medicine

I was drawn to you knowing it wouldn't last forever

Right now, I am being consumed by poison

And you are the only cure

Addicted to this potent drug

Am I drunk, or am I not?

I can't tell with this sweet alcohol

Without it, will you even

Agree to meet with me anymore?

This long hair I grew just for you

Has become so dear to me

The world changes, shifting to focus on oneself

And it feels as if I'm the only one left behind

So please, you must be the one to cool this fever

A medicine with a limit of just once a day

Hold me tighter than you did yesterday

I don't need to be "myself" in this love

So please, you must be the one to cool this fever

The warning sirens have been ringing for a long time

Don't let the fire of our love ever die out

Keep adding fuel to the flames, toward eternity

I know I could never bring myself to hate you

Because what you've given me is just too much

Even if you were to vanish from before my eyes

A piece of me would be missing, aching in pain

Kiss me

It tasted like a bitter, sweet lie

I swallowed it down without letting myself notice

I know this is a hopeless love

In that case, hurt me even deeper; I love you

I'm sure you are a bitter yet sweet medicine

Dissolve into every part of my body and set me free

I love you even more than I did yesterday

Please watch out for the strong side effects

The happiness I lost with you—

I hope it isn't living on somewhere else

Once again today, I am praying alone

You are the only cure

Addicted to this potent drug

[Japanese]

きっと あなたは苦くて⽢い薬

⾝体の隅まで溶けて楽にしてよ

私は今 毒に侵されて

あなたしか効かない

劇薬中毒

まだ肌寒い空 1人

急ぎ⾜ ⾓を曲がる

あなたの住む街 慣れた坂道

時間潰しでコンビニに寄る

何も望んではいけない

気持ちは留まろうとしても

褒めてくれたリップだけが

減っていった それが答えね

⼀⽣分の「好き」は全部

あなたにあげてしまったの

また今⽇も1⼈泣くのでしょう

こんなに傷付いても あなたがいい

きっと あなたは苦くて⽢い薬

⾝体の隅まで溶けて楽にしてよ

昨日よりも 愛している

強い副作⽤に気をつけて

きっと あなたは苦くて⽢い薬

永遠じゃないとわかって惹かれたの

私は今 毒に侵されて

あなたしか効かない

劇薬中毒

酔えているのか、いないのか

わからないその⽢いお酒

それがないと 私とはもう

会ってはくれないのでしょうか

あなたのための⻑い髪

愛しくなってしまったの

⾃分のためと変わる世界

私だけ取り残されたようで

だからこの熱はあなたが冷ましてよ

⼀⽇⼀度が限度のお薬で

昨日よりもギュッと抱いて

この恋に私らしさは 要らない

だからこの熱はあなたが冷ましてよ

警報はずっと前から鳴っている

2⼈の愛 ⽕は絶やさないで

薪を焚べ続ける 永遠に向けて

嫌いになんて きっとなれないでしょう

だってあなたに もらったものが⼤きすぎるよ

⽬の前から もしもいなくなったとしても

私の中 ⽋⽚がいて 疼き苦しむの

キスをして

苦くて⽢い嘘つきの味がした

気付かないようにそのまま飲み込んだ

ダメな恋と わかっている

それならもっと深く傷付けて、好きよ

きっと あなたは苦くて⽢い薬

⾝体の隅まで溶けて楽にしてよ

昨⽇よりも 愛している

強い副作⽤に気をつけて

私が失くしたあなたとの幸せ

他の何処かで⽣きていませんように

今⽇も1⼈ 願っているのよ

あなたしか効かない
