Kioku no kakera ni egaita bara wo mitsumete
Togireta omoide kasaneru kawaranai yume ni
OH-Rusty Nail
Dore dake namida wo nagaseba
Anata wo wasurerareru darou
Just tell me my life
Doko made aruite mitemo
Namida de ashitaga mienai
Joshou ni owatta shuumatsu no kizu wasurete
Nagareru toki ni dakare temo
Mune ni tsukisasaru
OH-Rusty Nail
Dore dake namida wo nagaseba
Anata wo wasurerareru darou
Utsukushiku iroasete namuru bara wo
Anata no kokoro ni sakasete
I wanna die, I wanna live, I wanna die to set me free!
Live and die, live and live, I wanna live to set me free!
I can die, I can live, I can die to set me free!
Live and die, live and live, I wanna live to set me free!
Sugao no mamade ikite ikereba kitto
Hitomi ni utsuru yoru wa
Kagayaku yume dake nokoshita
Asa wo mukaeru kodoku wo wasurete
Akai tekubi wo dakishimete naita
Yoru wo owarasete
Kioku no tobira wo tozashita mamade furuete
Togireta omoi wo kasaneru aoi kuchibiru ni
OH-Rusty Nail
Dore dake namida wo nagaseba
Anata wo wasurerareru darou
Just tell me my life
Doko made aruite mitemo
Namida de ashitaga mienai
Kurushikute kokoro wo kazatta...
Ima mo anata wo wasurerare nakute
