[English]

On days when the sunset looks brighter than usual

On days when the seat next to me feels so lonely and empty

I hop on my light bike and find myself

Lost in lingering thoughts again

On days when I see more stars than usual

On days when the park feels quiet and vast

I'm still not used to this new place and

I find myself lost in lingering thoughts again

I'm stuck in a maze I can't escape

I'm sick with this illness called you

No matter what I do or what I see, even if I cry my heart out

It's a sickness that can never be fully cured

I'm drowning in a sea where no light shines through

I'm sick with this illness called you

No matter what I do or what I see, even if I cry my heart out

It's a sickness where I can never forget you forever

On nights that feel darker than usual

My heart matches the loneliness, making me even lonelier

A sigh escapes me, and with my eyes closed

I rewind the memories and replay them

Even if I tell my tormented heart to say goodbye now

You still linger in the memories, I can't break free

That accessory you were so enamored with

Even my clothes if you want them

Your traces etched everywhere, incurable, I sob again

I'm stuck in a maze I can't escape

I'm sick with this illness called you

No matter what I do or what I see, even if I cry my heart out

It's a sickness that can never be fully cured

I'm drowning in a sea where no light shines through

I'm sick with this illness called you

No matter what I do or what I see, even if I cry my heart out

It's a sickness where I can never forget you forever

Suddenly looking up at the sky, stars are

Spread out endlessly

Tears flow for some reason at the beauty

As I get surrounded by this tranquil nature

Now that you're not here, I can't share it with you

But I really loved you so much

No matter what I do or what I see, even if I laugh with all my might

It's a sickness where I can never forget you forever

[Korean]

평소보다 석양이 잘 보이는 날

옆자리가 외롭게 비어 있는 날

가벼운 자전거를 타고 나는 또

여운에 잠겨 있네

평소보다 별이 많이 보이는 날

공원이 조용하고 넓다고 느끼는 날

달라진 환경에 나는 아직도

익숙하지 못하고 여운에 잠겨 있네

나갈 수 없는 미로에 빠져 있어 난

너라는 병에 걸려 있어

뭘 해도 뭐를 봐도 맘껏 울어도

영원히 완치 못하는 병이야

빛이 안 보이는 바다에 빠져 있어 난

너라는 병에 걸려 있어

뭘 해도 뭐를 봐도 맘껏 울어도

너를 영원히 잊지 못하는 병이야

평소보다 어둡게 느껴지는 밤

내 마음 같아서 더 외로워지는 난

한숨을 쉬고 난 눈을 감은 채로

추억을 되돌려 보내

애태운 내 맘에 이제 잘 가라 말해도

아직 추억 속에 남아 헤어날 수 없잖아

네가 탐을 내던 내 액세서리

원한다면 입은 내 옷까지

곳곳에 베인 네 흔적에 완치 없이 또 훌쩍

나갈 수 없는 미로에 빠져 있어 난

너라는 병에 걸려 있어

뭘 해도 뭐를 봐도 맘껏 울어도

영원히 완치 못하는 병이야

빛이 안 보이는 바다에 빠져 있어 난

너라는 병에 걸려 있어

뭘 해도 뭐를 봐도 맘껏 울어도

너를 영원히 잊지 못하는 병이야

문득 올려다 본 하늘에는 별들이

무수히 펼쳐져 있었어

아름다움에 왠지 눈물이 흘러

고요한 이 자연들에 쌓이면서

이제 넌 여기 없어서 전할 순 없지만

나는 너를 정말 사랑했었어

뭘 해도 뭐를 봐도 맘껏 웃어도

너를 영원히 잊지 못하는 병이야
