Honja jujeo anja
Saenggangman keojyeoga
Eonjebuteo neon nal apeuge haetdeon-ga
Neo jochado moreujanha

Alone, I sit
and my thoughts grow
Since when did you start hurting me?
Even you don’t seem to know

Neo-do apeujanha ’cause you’re mine
I just want to blow your mind
Ireohge neon tto meoreojyeo-man ganeunde
Amureohji anheunde
Geureohge malhaneunde
Sashireun naega geuge anin-ga bwa

You also hurt because you’re mine
I just want to blow your mind
You keep getting farther away
As if it doesn’t matter
You say that, but I think it’s not true

I want you to be your light, baby
You should be your light
Deoneun apeuji anke
Nega useul su itke
I want you to be your night, baby
You could be your night
I bam-i neoege soljikhal su itke
Ooooh ooooh ooh oooooh ooh

I want you to be your light, baby
You should be your light
Don’t hurt anymore
So you can smile
I want you to be your night, baby
You could be your night
So this night can be honest with you
Ooooh ooooh ooh oooooh ooh

Neo-do apeujanha ’cause you’re mine
I just want to blow your mind
Ireohge neon tto meoreojyeo-man ganeunde
Amureohji anheunde
Geureohge malhaneunde
Sashireun naega geuge anin-ga bwa, oh

You also hurt because you’re mine
I just want to blow your mind
You keep getting farther away
As if it doesn’t matter
You say that, but I think it’s not true, oh

I want you to be your light, baby
You should be your light
Deoneun apeuji anke
Nega useul su itke
I want you to be your night, baby
You could be your night
I bam-i neoege soljikhal su itke

I want you to be your light, baby
You should be your light
Don’t hurt anymore
So you can smile
I want you to be your night, baby
You could be your night
So this night can be honest with you
