Kitto anata wa nigakute amai kusuriYou’re definitely a medicine, bitter yet so sweet,
Karada no sumi made tokete raku ni shite yodissolving deep into every corner of my body to bring me relief.
Watashi wa ima doku ni okasareteRight now, I’m being consumed by this poison,
Anata shika kikanaiand you’re the only thing that works.
Gekiyaku chuudokuA potent drug addiction.
Mada hadasamui sora hitoriAlone under the chilly sky,
Isogiashi kado o magarumy hurried footsteps turn the corner.
Anata no sumu machi nareta sakamichiThis is your town, and the slope I’ve grown so used to.
Jikan tsubushi de konbini ni yoruI stop by the convenience store just to kill some time.
Nanimo nozonde wa ikenaiI know I shouldn’t wish for anything more.
Kimochi wa tomarou to shitemoEven though my heart tries to stop itself,
Homete kureta rippu dake gaI’m wearing the lipstick you once praised.
Heitte itta sore ga kotae neYou just gave a casual nod, and that’s my answer, isn’t it?
Jibun no suki wa zenbuEverything that I used to like,
Anata ni agete shimatta noI’ve ended up giving it all away to you.
Mata konya mo hitori naku no deshouI suppose I’ll be crying alone again tonight.
Konna ni kizutsuite mo anata ga iiEven if I’m hurt this much, you’re still the one I want.
Kitto anata wa nigakute amai kusuriYou’re definitely a medicine, bitter yet so sweet,
Karada no sumi made tokete raku ni shite yodissolving deep into every corner of my body to bring me relief.
Kinou yori mo aishite iruI love you even more than I did yesterday.
Tsuyoi fukusayou ni ki o tsuketeBe careful, the side effects are strong.
Kitto anata wa nigakute amai kusuriYou’re definitely a medicine, bitter yet so sweet.
Eien janai to wakatte hikareta noI fell for you knowing this wouldn’t last forever.

Yoete iru no ka inai no kaAm I drunk right now, or am I sober?
Wakaranai sono amai osakeI can’t tell with that sweet liquor of yours.
Sore ga nai to watashi to wa mouIf that’s gone, then with me…
Atte wa kurenai no deshou kawill you simply refuse to see me anymore?
Anata no tame no kuroi kamiI dyed my hair black just for you,
Itoshiku natte shimatta noand now I’ve grown to love it.
Jibun no tame to kawaru sekaiA world that changes for my own sake,
Watashi dake torinokosareta you defeels like it’s left only me behind.
Dakara kono netsu wa anata ga samashite yoSo please, you have to be the one to cool this fever,
Ichido ga gendo no okusuri dewith that medicine I can only take once.

Kono koi ni watashirashisa wa iranaiI don’t need to be ‘me’ for this love.
Dakara kono netsu wa anata ga samashite yoSo please, you have to be the one to cool this fever.

Maki o kubetsuzukeru eien ni muketekeep tossing wood on the fire, aiming for eternity.
Kirai ni nante kitto narenai deshouI surely won’t ever be able to hate you.
