Neol mannagi wihae pinggyereul daedon ttaeneun oroji nan sarangmani jeonbueoss-eo
An bogi wihae ongat iyuleul daeneun jigeum harue du se beon anbuman-i jeonbuga dwaess-eo
When I made excuses to meet you,
it was all about love
To avoid seeing you, now the only greetings
in a day became everything

Love is nowhere to be found, half filled with hate and resentment, just making excuses to each other
Saying sincerely that I hope everything goes well, but when I’m hurt, I make excuses and worry superficially
Even when I didn’t have enough time in a 24-hour day, you were always there next to my future, dreams, and bed
Ije kkum-eun huimiago gwonthaeman-i saeg-i jinbuteo maeil-i hwalyeohan chugje-eoss-eossneun-de

Now the dreams are faint, and boredom is getting deeper. Every day used to be a splendid festival
Now it seems like I’m not interesting to you, maybe I’m just a good person with too much greed, so I can’t let you go
Actually, I was a bad guy, and I said I couldn’t give time for our breakup because I was busy

Since some time ago
We became busy, that became the reason for our breakup, huh
Since some time ago
Now we keep repeating that we’re busy, busy

Making various excuses to meet me
You tried to avoid work
Making various excuses to see me
You said you were right in front of my house, asking me to come out
Even if I love you, it overflows so much
Even if I try to stop, I can’t stop
Even after closing my eyes, I believed we were still in the midst of
loving each other
But now I’m busy
Because the weather is a bit bad
Because the traffic is congested
Because I have to go back quickly
You say you’re busy, so you don’t contact me
When you’re with me, you have to reply
Busy all day
Saying you love me
Eonjenga-buteo

Since some time ago
We became busy, that became the reason for our breakup, huh
Since some time ago
Now we keep repeating that we’re busy, busy

I’ll be away from home for a while because I have a lot of work
During that time, in that house, only you will remain, not us
There might be something left somewhere
You can throw it all away without any regrets, I wouldn’t know anyway
Without you, the jokes about me dying and the space that was busy
filling me up
Even though we thought it was different, we were just ordinary, and the ending is the same
Eonjenga-buteo
Ulin bappeun ge ibyeol-ui iyuga dwaess-eo huh
Eonjenga-buteo

Since some time ago
We became busy, that became the reason for our breakup, huh
Since some time ago
Now we keep repeating that we’re busy, busy
