The Japanese lyrics and my English translation

すえたような 愛のバリエーション　- the sour love variation
行きつく果てなど – such the end
もうわかってるようなものさ ラスト・シーン – It’s like I already know the last scene

あきたなら すぐRun away – if you fed up, run away straight away
逃げてしまえば それで -Even if run away it does not mean
全てが消せるわけもない Your memory – everything can be erased, Your memory

I・CAN・BE Lost my love away
I・CAN・BE Lost my love away

ハスにかまえて show window – pose in a snobbish way, show window
映る君の影に – for your shadow reflected on the window
憧れていた あの頃には戻れない Can not go back to the time when I was longing for

行くよ もうtime outだbaby – I go, it is already a time out, baby
涙も嘘になる – crocodile tear
刺のない バラなんて スリルがない – such the rose without thorns is no thrill

I・CAN・BE Lost my love away
I・CAN・BE Lost my love away
I・CAN・BE Lost my love away
I・CAN・BE Lost my love away

君には 俺は 似合わないんじゃない – It is not because I don’t suit you
悲しい言葉で 責めないで　- don’t blame on me with sad words
なまいきな女で いて欲しかったんだ – I just wanted you to be a sassy girl
これで さよなら – this is it, goodbye

I・CAN・BE Lost my love away
I・CAN・BE Lost my love away
I・CAN・BE Lost my love away
I・CAN・BE Lost my love away

Hope you find it interesting.
