Chorus 1

kitto anata wa nigakute amai kusuri

You must be a bittersweet medicine

karada no sumi made tokete raku ni shiteyo

Melt into every corner of my body and bring me relief

watashi wa ima doku ni okasarete

Right now I'm poisoned through and through

anata shika kikanai

Nothing works on me but you

gekiyaku chuudoku

Addicted to a powerful drug

Verse 1

mada hadasamui sora hitori

Alone under a sky that's still chilly

isogiashi kado o magaru

Hurrying, I turn the corner

anata no sumu machi nareta sakamichi

The town where you live, the slope I know so well

jikantsubushi de konbini ni yoru

I stop by a convenience store to kill time

nani mo nozonde wa ikenai

I mustn't wish for anything

kimochi wa todomarou to shitemo

Even if my feelings try to stay

hometekureta rippu dake ga

Only the lipstick you complimented me on

hetteitta sore ga kotae ne

Is what kept wearing down, and that's the answer, isn't it

isshoubun no suki wa zenbu

All the "I love you"s of a lifetime

anata ni ageteshimatta no

I already gave them all to you

mata kyou mo hitori naku no deshou

I guess I'll cry alone again today

konnani kizutsuitemo anata ga ii

Even hurt this much, I still want you

Chorus 2

kitto anata wa nigakute amai kusuri

You must be a bittersweet medicine

karada no sumi made tokete raku ni shiteyo

Melt into every corner of my body and bring me relief

kinou yori mo aishiteiru

I love you more than yesterday

tsuyoi fukusayou ni ki o tsukete

Watch out for the strong side effects

kitto anata wa nigakute amai kusuri

You must be a bittersweet medicine

eien janai to wakatte hikareta no

I fell for you knowing it wouldn't last forever

watashi wa ima doku ni okasarete

Right now I'm poisoned through and through

anata shika kikanai

Nothing works on me but you

gekiyaku chuudoku

Addicted to a powerful drug

Verse 2

yoeteiru no ka inai no ka

Am I drunk or am I not?

wakaranai sono amai osake

I can't tell with this sweet liquor

sore ga naito watashi to wa mou

Without it, will you never

atte wa kurenai no deshou ka

Come and see me again?

anata no tame no nagai kami

My long hair, grown out for you

itoshikunatteshimatta no

I've come to love it

jibun no tame to kawaru sekai

The world keeps changing, everyone for their own sake

watashi dake torinokosareta you de

It feels like I'm the only one left behind

Verse 3

dakara kono netsu wa anata ga samashite yo

So you're the one who has to cool this fever down

ichinichi ichido ga gendo no okusuri de

With a medicine you can only take once a day

kinou yori mo gyutto daite

Hold me tighter than yesterday

kono koi ni watashirashisa wa iranai

In this love, there's no need for me to be myself

dakara kono netsu wa anata ga samashite yo

So you're the one who has to cool this fever down

keihou wa zutto mae kara natteiru

The alarm has been ringing for a long time now

futari no ai hi wa tayasanaide

Don't ever let the fire of our love go out

maki o kubetsuzukeru eien ni mukete

I keep feeding it firewood, on toward forever

Bridge 1

kirai ni nante kitto narenai deshou

I probably could never bring myself to hate you

wakatteru

I know

datte anata ni moratta mono ga ookisugiru yo

Because what you gave me was just too much

me no mae kara moshimo inakunatta to shitemo

Even if you were gone from right in front of me

watashi no naka kakera ga ite uzukikurushimu no

A fragment of you stays inside me, aching and tormenting me

kisu o shite

We kissed, and

nigakute amai usotsuki no aji ga shita

It had the bittersweet taste of a liar

kizukanai you ni sonomama nomikonda

I swallowed it whole so I wouldn't notice

dame na koi to wakatteiru

I know this love is no good

sorenara motto fukaku kizutsukete suki yo

So hurt me even deeper, I love you

Chorus 3

kitto anata wa nigakute amai kusuri

You must be a bittersweet medicine

karada no sumi made tokete raku ni shiteyo

Melt into every corner of my body and bring me relief

kinou yori mo aishiteiru

I love you more than yesterday

tsuyoi fukusayou ni ki o tsukete

Watch out for the strong side effects

watashi ga nakushita anata to no shiawase

The happiness with you that I lost

hoka no doko ka de ikiteimasen you ni

I pray it isn't living on somewhere else

kyou mo hitori negatteiru no yo

Alone again today, that's what I wish for

anata shika kikanai

Nothing works on me but you

gekiyaku chuudoku

Addicted to a powerful drug

Did you like this lyrics translation?

The title 劇薬中毒 means something like "addicted to a powerful drug", and =LOVE commit to that metaphor for the whole song. The person she loves is the medicine: 「きっとあなたは苦くて甘い薬」 (surely you are a bitter, sweet medicine), and worse, 「あなたしか効かない」 (only you work on me). It's a love song written like a pharmacy leaflet, and I think that's the fun of it.

The details are what sell it. She kills time at a convenience store near his place, and notices the only lipstick running low is the one he once complimented, which she reads as her answer. Then the drug talk comes back with warnings: 「強い副作用に気をつけて」 (watch out for strong side effects) and 「一日一度が限度のお薬で」 (a medicine with a limit of once a day). She even admits 「警報はずっと前から鳴っている」 (the alarm has been ringing for a long time). She knows it's a bad romance and keeps going anyway, which is a bit much, and also very honest.

Learner tip: 劇薬 is a real word for a powerful or dangerous drug, and 副作用 (side effect) is the same word you'd see on actual medicine boxes in Japan.
