[English]

A silly song full of regrets

Hoping it reaches the sky

My prayers all night long in tears

Wishing they reach your heart

I was so young, I never thought I’d end up like this

Back then, I thought it was just normal

The smile you left me with

Still remains in my heart

Honestly, I guess I still need love that I can receive

The lonely times

Feel more afraid as they get longer

I miss those days, I miss you so much, yeah

I miss you so much

Now I can feel our space

I miss you so much

Why do I cry like this?

I didn’t know

So beautiful, beautiful

Because you are more beautiful than anyone else

Don’t hurt, don’t cry, if you hear a song for you

Come back again

Oh, I miss you, I miss you

Seeing myself alone in the mirror

Feels unfamiliar and scary, I need you

Now I hate myself for feeling like this

Come back again

Memories are as vast as the sea, a large warehouse

Even if I wander all day inside it

Even this loneliness I feel alone in

Is just your trace left behind

Enduring today with my eyes closed tightly

I miss you so much

Now I can feel our space

I miss you so much

Why do I keep crying like this?

I didn’t realize

So beautiful, beautiful

Because you are more beautiful than anyone else

Don’t hurt, don’t cry, if you hear a song for you

Come back again

Oh, I miss you, I miss you

Seeing myself alone in the mirror

Feels unfamiliar and scary, I need you

Now I hate myself for feeling like this

Yeah, holding a flower as pretty as you again

Standing again in front of you

Looking more stylish than back then

Wanting to appear before you again, yeah

Drawing familiar times with my fingertips

The clock that doesn’t turn, I cry in place

Your sparkling, angel-like self

I want to hold your beautiful self freely

Really, I want to see you again

So beautiful, beautiful

Are you crying somewhere?

Don’t leave, don’t go, love you, that lie

Any words are fine

Oh, I miss you, I miss you (miss you)

Your last words as you drifted away (miss you)

Feeling unfamiliar and scared, I need you

Now I hate myself for feeling like this

A silly song full of regrets

Hoping it reaches the sky

My prayers all night long in tears

Wishing they reach your heart

[Korean]

바보같이 아쉬움 많은 노래가

하늘에 닿기를

눈물 속에 밤새운 내 기도가

마음에 닿기를

어렸어 내가 이럴 줄은 몰랐어

당연한 거라 그 땐 생각했었어

내게 남겨준 미소가

아직도 이 가슴속에 남아있어

솔직히 난 아직은 받는 사랑이 필요한 가봐

홀로 남는 시간이

길어질수록 두렵고 그래

그때가 그립고 너무 보고 싶고 그래 Yeah

I miss you so much

이제서야 느껴 우리 공간

I miss you so much

이렇게 눈물이 나는데 왜 난

몰랐을까

So beautiful beautiful

그 누구보다 아름다울 너니까

아프지 마 울지 마 널 향한 노래가

들린다면 다시 돌아와

Oh 그리워 그리워

거울 속에 혼자 서 있는 모습이

낯설어 두려워 네가 필요해

이제야 느끼는 내가 너무 싫어

다시 돌아와

기억은 바다처럼 넓은 창고라고

그 안에서 하루 종일 헤매도

혼자 느끼는 이 외로움마저

유일한 너의 흔적이라고

억지로 눈 감은 채 견디고 있어 오늘도

I miss you so much

이제서야 느껴 우리 공간

I miss you so much

이렇게 눈물이 나는데 왜 난

몰랐을까

So beautiful beautiful

그 누구보다 아름다울 너니까

아프지 마 울지 마 널 향한 노래가

들린다면 다시 돌아와

Oh 그리워 그리워

거울 속에 혼자 서 있는 모습이

낯설어 두려워 네가 필요해

이제야 느끼는 내가 너무 싫어

Yeah 이렇게 너처럼 예쁜 꽃을 안고

네 앞에 다시 서고 싶어

Yeah 그 시절보다 더 멋진 모습을 하고

네 앞에 나타나고 싶어 yeah

익숙했던 시간들을 손 끝으로 그려

돌지 않는 시계처럼 제자리서 울어

반짝이던 널 천사 같은 널

아름다운 널 맘껏 안아보고 싶어

꼭 다시 보고 싶어

So beautiful beautiful

어디선가 울고 있진 않을까

떠나지마 가지마 사랑한단 거짓말

어떤 말이든 좋으니까

Oh 그리워 그리워 (그리워)

멀어지던 너의 마지막 그 말 (그리워)

낯설어 두려워 네가 필요해

이제야 느끼는 내가 너무 싫어

바보같이 아쉬움 많은 노래가

하늘에 닿기를

당신 향해 밤새운 내 기도가

마음에 닿기를
