Wae neoegeon geureohge eoryeounji
Aereul sseuneun nareul jedaero bwajuneun ge
Neo hanae itorok apeul su isseume
Nollagon hae godanhaetdeon haru
Naneun kkumeul kkwoedo apa
Why is it so difficult for you?
Acknowledging my struggling self properly
The fact that I can hurt so much because of you
It surprises me, a tiring day
Even if I dream, it hurts
Neo yeotdamyeon eotteol geot gata?
Ireon michin naldeuri ne haruga doemyeon mallya
Neodo namankeum honja
Buseojyeo bondamyeon alge doelkka
If it were you, how would it be?
If these crazy days became your day
If you were as alone as I am
If you experienced breaking, would you understand?
Gaseumi teojil deut
Nal gadeuk chaeun tongjeunggwa
Eolmana neoreul wonhago inneunji
Naega neoramyeon geunyang nal saranghal tende
My heart feels like it will burst
The pain that fills me completely
How much I long for you
If I were you, I would just love me
Nae gaseumeun haneopsi badakkkaji
Nareul dulleossaneun modeun ge duryeowojyeo
Da sarange ppajimyeon haengbokhan georani
Nuga geurae dwitmoseubman boneun
Geureon saranghaneun naege
My heart is endlessly fearful to the bottom
Everything that surrounds me becomes frightening
They say falling in love is happiness
Who says that, to me who only sees your back
To me who loves like that
Neo yeotdamyeon eotteol geot gata?
Ireon michin naldeuri ne haruga doemyeon mallya
Neodo namankeum honja
Buseojyeo bondamyeon alge doelkka
If it were you, how would it be?
If these crazy days became your day
If you were as alone as I am
If you experienced breaking, would you understand?
Gaseumi teojil deut
Nal gadeuk chaeun tongjeunggwa
Eolmana neoreul wonhago inneunji
Naega neoramyeon geunyang nal saranghal tende
My heart feels like it will burst
The pain that fills me completely
How much I long for you
If I were you, I would just love me
Yae jum naneun eotteon jul ani
Pyeonhi jameul jal sudo mwol samkyeonael sudo eopseo
Neol baraboda jeomjeom manggajyeo
Ganeun nal algil kka
I already know that you’ve answered me
The meaning of an answer without words
Even though I know everything, I pretend not to know
Do you know the day I go?
Yojeum naneun eotteon jul ani
Pyeonhi jameul jal sudo mwol samkyeonael sudo eopseo
Neol baraboda jeomjeom manggajyeo
Ganeun nal algil kka
These days, I don’t know what to do
I can’t sleep peacefully, I can’t swallow anything
As I look at you, I gradually fall apart
Will you know the day I leave?
Jugeul geot gatado
Neon naege ol ri eopdaedo
Ttan gosman boneun neoran geol arado
Geureon neoreul nan noheul sun eopseul geot gata
Even if it feels like I’ll die
Even if you won’t come to me
Even if I know you only look at other places
I don’t think I can let go of you like that
