When I was darkness at that time furueteru kuchibiru
heya no katasumi de I cry
mogakeba mogaku hodo tsukisasaru kono kizu
yaburareta yakusoku hurt me
    When I was darkness at that time, quavering lips
    in the corner of the room I cry
    The more I struggle against it, the more the wound deepens
    the broken promise hurts me

Nobody can save me
kamisama hitotsu dake
tomete saku you na my love
    Nobody can save me
    God, just one thing
    my love like it's stopping me from tearing apart

I need your love. I'm a broken rose
maiochiru kanashimi your song
ibasho nai kodoku na my life
I need your love. I'm a broken rose
Oh baby, help me from frozen pain
with your smile, your eyes, and sing me, just for me
    I need your love. I'm a broken rose
    fallen and scattered sadness your song
    no place to belong and lonely my life
    I need your love. I'm a broken rose
    Oh baby, help me from frozen pain
    with your smile, your eyes, and sing me, just for me

I wanna need your love...
I'm a broken rose
I wanna need your love...

When you are with me at that time anata no kage o oikakete
hadashi de kakenukete stop me
    When you are with me at that time, I'm chasing your shadow
    run up from behind barefoot and stop me

Tozaseba tozasu hodo motsureteku kono ai
yuruyaka ni yasashiku kiss me
    The more I try to shut it out, the more complicated this love gets
    lenient and gently, kiss me

Nobody can save me
kogoeru bara no you ni
yasashiku nemuritai my tears
    Nobody can save me
    like a frozen rose
    softly wanting to sleep, my tears

I need your love. I'm a broken rose
kareochiru kanashimi my soul
kuzureochiteku kodoku na little girl (1)
I need your love. I'm a broken rose
Oh baby, help me from frozen pain
with your smile, your eyes, sing me, just for me
    I need your love. I'm a broken rose
    dried and fallen sadness my soul
    falling into loneliness little girl
    I need your love. I'm a broken rose
    Oh baby, help me from frozen pain
    with your smile, your eyes, sing me, just for me

I wanna need your love...
I'm a broken rose
I wanna need your love...

repeat

I wanna need your love...
I was a broken rose
I wanna need your love...

Notes;
1) in these two lines she uses a different kanji for 'ochiru' but both so far as I know have the same meaning, just the first is a little more obscure
