言い訳ばかり 窮状
嘘の上塗り 惨状 しない 同情
愛しく 苦しく 切なく 瞬く 純情
約束破る 行状
愛の終わりの 症状 揺れる 情状
本気で Who doesn't see
見つめて Till she leaves
Don't let me go
この愛 Know you're lost
誰より Pay the cost
Soon you will know
愛情 過剰? 心情 異常?
強く強く
表情 気丈? 尋常 以上?
抱いていて
愛情 過剰? 心情 異常?
溺れさせて
表情 気丈? 尋常 以上?
アタシを......
This is the

ダメにするの?
Oh baby please, please tell me
激しく 優しく あやしく
艶めく 恋情
あの頃みたく 慕情
感じて･いたい 詩情 なのに 強情
泣くのは In a box
アナタね Drop it off
I won't be home
サヨナラ Know your lost
告げたら Better off

ヤメて Nearly Nearly
ひとりじゃアナタ
生きられないじゃない Come On
