ah- 流れてゆく　蛇口の水 	ah... nagarete iku jaguchi no mizu
その他には　声もなく 	sono hoka ni wa koe mo naku
 	
ah-　傍にいれば　傷つく事 	ah- soba ni ireba kizutsuku koto
分かってたのに　止まらなくて 	wakatteta noni tomaranakute
 	
「何処にいたの」なんて聞くなら 	"doko ni ita no" nante kiku nara
もう　全てを壊したらよかった... 	mou subete wo kowashitara yokatta...
 	
溢れだす涙はいつも同じでも 	afuredasu namida wa itsumo onaji demo
痛みには心が慣れてはくれない 	itami ni wa kokoro ga narete wa kurenai
例えば君の喉を切り裂いてしまえたら 	tatoeba kimi no nodo wo kirisaite shimaetara
私だけの君に...! 	watashi dake no kimi ni...!
 	
ah-　確かめ合う　言葉さえも 	ah... tashikameau kotoba saemo

Official English lyrics = 
Ah, the water pools the ground.
Tranquil, yet this sound is all that I can hear.
It's resonating.
Ah, you've broken all of me.
My heart an injury that you don't care to mend
And still I'm waiting.
I should have been the one to say that it's goodbye and you know why.
When I called to say hello to know that you're alright,
Where were you last night?
Even if you break my heart a million times it all remains the same.
I wish I could tell myself somewhere inside I was the one to blame.
If I could force you with this voice of mine to truly make you see
You'll be the prisoner of this love with me.
Ah, you said so many times.
Now I see the lies when you said you loved me.
You never meant it.
Why do I lose control over these thoughts of you?
You know I do.
Still, I cannot stop the violent pace of my heartbeat
whenever we meet.
I already knew I was the only one that saw right through your game.
Even if I cried everytime you called me by another's name.
If I had a choice to take you by the hand and bring you back to me.
I would accept your love - embrace this misery.
So don't tell me promises that you and I know that you'll never keep.
And don't tell me lies when we both know that over you I'm losing sleep.
Am I crazy for believing that if I could turn back time,
I'd be the only one and you'd be only mine?
Even if you break my heart a million times it all remains the same.
I wish I could tell myself somewhere inside I was the one to blame.
If I could force you with this voice of mine to truly make you see
You'll be the prisoner of this love with me.
