[English]

It felt like I could reach it if I chased it - I never even doubted it

I held the you I imagined - I held you tightly with both hands

Only emptiness remained in my arms - Wandering around

In the end, I realized - That I have to let you go

(Oh) Deceiving myself - The moment I broke the dream I endured

(Oh) I can feel the light pouring down

I wanna be myself (I don’t care) - Even if it still feels unfamiliar (Just don’t care)

The moment I broke free from you, I can see - Everything, all of it, right in front of me

Now I understand (Now I know) - What I needed was myself

I walk wherever my two feet take me - I feel the light, I feel the light

Consistently towards you - What I realized while running

Everything was directed towards you - The closer I got to you

I gradually lost myself

Like the fallen leaves under that tree - Even if I end up buried in the snow and trampled

Now I’ll go beyond you and seek spring

The emotions left behind are blown by the wind

(Oh) The moment I escaped the tunnel - That trapped me in a dream

(Oh) I can feel the light pouring down

I wanna be myself (I don’t care) - Even if it still feels unfamiliar (Just don’t care)

The moment I broke free from you, I can see - Everything, all of it, right in front of me

Now I understand (Now I know) - What I needed was myself

I walk wherever my two feet take me - I feel the light, I feel the light

I was afraid of letting you go - But I have no choice but to let go

It’s all good now

I wanna be myself (I don’t care) - Even if it still feels unfamiliar (Just don’t care)

Only after breaking free from you can I see - Everything, all of it, right in front of me

[Korean]

쫓다 보면 닿을 것만 같았어 의심 따윈 해본 적도 없었어

상상한 널 안았지만 두 손 꽉 널 잡았지만

품속엔 공허함만 남은 채 헤매이다

결국 깨닫게 됐어 널 놓아야만 한다는 걸

(Oh) 스스로 속여가며 (Oh) 버텨낸 꿈을 깬 순간

(Oh) 쏟아져 내리는 빛이 느껴져

I wanna be myself (I don’t care) 아직 낯설다 해도 (Just don’t care)

널 벗어난 순간 내가 보여 모든 게 다, 눈앞이 다

이제는 알겠어 (Now I know) 내게 필요했던 건 나란 걸

내 두 발이 가는 대로 걸어가 I feel the light, I feel the light

한결같이 너를 향해 달려가다 깨달은 건

내 모든 건 널 향해 있었어 너에게 가까이 갈수록

점점 더 날 잃어갔어

저기 나무 밑에 떨어진 낙엽처럼 결국 눈 속에 묻혀 짓밟힌다 해도

이젠 너를 넘어서 봄을 찾아 떠나가

남겨진 감정은 부는 바람에 휘날려

(Oh) 꿈속에 날 가뒀던 (Oh) 터널을 벗어난 순간

(Oh) 쏟아져 내리는 빛이 느껴져

I wanna be myself (I don’t care) 아직 낯설다 해도 (Just don’t care)

널 벗어난 순간 내가 보여 모든 게 다, 눈앞이 다

이제는 알겠어 (Now I know) 내게 필요했던 건 나란 걸

내 두 발이 가는 대로 걸어가 I feel the light, I feel the light

널 놓는다는 게 두려웠었지만 놓을 수밖에 없어 난

It’s all good now

I wanna be myself (I don’t care) 아직 낯설다 해도 (Just don’t care)

너를 벗어나고서야 보여 모든 게, 다 눈앞이 다
