[English]

The reason I have to leave you

From the day I realized it wasn't them, but me

The white night continued

I was afraid of my whole body becoming burning hot

I cannot handle this anymore, standing trapped in chaos

Even as I step back, my gaze goes to you

I see what shouldn't be seen

The more I want you, the more I feel like I'll become a monster

I don't wanna be a monster, completely cut me off

Even if I feel like I'm dying, just pretend you don't see me and pass by

If you're going to try and save me

Let me feel more despair, goodbye

...

Wandering around as a ghost

The words of confession still torment and exhaust me

Even when I live as if in a dream

Your angelic smile tells me, "This is hell"

I'm in a hell (hell), so foolish

The further I go, the more tangled it becomes (I know)

Perhaps seeing a tiny possibility, I dream again

It can't be like this, I think I'll become a monster, whoo

I don't wanna be a monster, completely cut me off

Even if I feel like I'm dying, just pretend you don't see me and pass by

If you're going to try and save me

Let me feel more despair, and then

Until the memories are distorted and fabricated

I hope you won't think of me

I'm just a comet, off course, beyond the night sky

Just a comet

The ripples on the lake of my heart

Spread more and more, making me sway

Love has become such a cruel

Disaster for me

If I fall into a curse for the sin of coveting you

Even for a fleeting moment, I wanted to have you

We who can't become a fantasy

A story that can't be continued, finally, goodbye

...

[Korean]

너를 떠나야 하는 건

그 사람이 아닌 바로 나란 걸 알게 된 그날부터

백야는 계속되었고

온몸이 불덩이처럼 뜨거워지는 게 무서웠어

I cannot handle this anymore, 혼돈 속에 갇혀 선 채로

뒷걸음질을 하다가도, 내 시선은 너에게로

보이면 안 되는 것이 보여

널 원할수록 난 괴물이 될 것 같아

I don't wanna be a monster, 나를 완전히 끊어내줘

내가 죽을 것 같아도, 넌 모른 척 지나쳐줘

나를 구원하려 한다면

내가 절망을 더 느끼게 놓아줘, 안녕

유령이 되어 떠도는

고백의 문장은 여전히 나를 옥죄어 힘들게 해

꿈을 꾸듯 살다가도

너의 천사 같은 미소가 내게 알려줘, "여긴 지옥이야"

I'm in a hell (hell), so foolish

더 가면 갈수록 풀리지 않는 걸 (I know)

혹여나 조그마한 가능성을 보고선, 난 또 꿈을 꿔

이대론 안돼, 난 괴물이 될 것 같아, whoo

I don't wanna be a monster, 나를 완전히 끊어내줘

내가 죽을 것 같아도, 넌 모른 척 지나쳐줘

나를 구원하려 한다면

내가 절망을 더 느끼게 놓아줘, 그다음엔

기억이 왜곡되어 꾸며질 때까지

넌 나를 떠올리지 말길

난 밤 하늘 저편, 궤도를 비껴간

혜성일 뿐이야

마음의 호수 위 파문은

점점 번져 가더니 나를 일렁이게 해

사랑은 이렇게 내게 가혹한

재앙이 됐어

너를 탐한 죄로 나 저주에 빠진다면

한 찰나라도 좋으니 널 가지고 싶었는데

환상이 될 수 없는 우리

이어갈 수 없는 이야기 마침내, 안녕
