[English]

I had no choice but to throw you away

I erased all my feelings

Because I couldn't erase you

Let me free

I feel sorry for my heart

Let me breathe

I can live like this, I can breathe

As long as I'm alive, why not

I said I'm okay

Let me free

I'm better off like this

Let me breathe

oh Ye

Afraid I'd be cut by your words like knives

I was scared

Breathing and eating

Just enduring

I was a coward, I wanted to endure

Holding my heart in my hand

I chose a life for myself

I don't want to lose myself

I don't want to ruin myself anymore

I'm not confident that I can overcome

memories that don't end even after they're over

Love is ultimately

A lie to one person

Now watch me forget you

With both eyes wide open

Don't you ever forget me

...

Don't erase me

Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah

Limping my heart

The end of this road is here

I concluded, took a breath

and sighed deeply

Tearing her apart in my heart

Screaming silently

Erasing the lingering images floating around

The memories left behind

Burning them up to the sky, burn

I don't want to lose myself

I don't want to ruin myself anymore

I'm not confident that I can overcome

memories that don't end even after they're over

Love is ultimately

A lie to one person

Now watch me forget you

With both eyes wide open

Don't you ever forget me

I met you again, I cried

Something went wrong

My heart remembers

Let me free

Everything was the same

Let me breathe

There's nowhere left to escape you

It hurts to grab you

It hurts more to let go of myself

I'm not confident that I can escape

this place deeper than a dream within a dream

Forgetting is all

The lies I left behind

Your face spreads in my heart again

It seems more painful than before

It seems like I miss you more

It seems more harmful

It seems more harmful

Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah

...

[Korean]

어쩔 수 없어서 버렸어

모든 감정을 지웠어

널 애써 지울 수 없어서

Let me free

내 맘이 안쓰러워서

Let me breathe

이대로 살면 돼 숨 쉬면 돼

살아있기만 하면 돼 왜 안돼

내가 괜찮다는데

Let me free

내가 이게 더 나은데

Let me breathe

oh Ye

칼날 같은 네 말에 베일까

두려웠어 난

숨 쉬고 밥을 먹는 채로

그냥 버티기만 해

나는 비겁했어 버티고 싶었어

내 손에 내 가슴을 쥐고

나를 위하는 삶을 선택했어 난

나를 놓치기 싫어

나를 더 망치기 싫어

끝나도 끝나지 않는 기억에

이길 자신이 난 없어

사랑 같은 건 결국

한 사람에겐 거짓말

이젠 널 잊는 나를 지켜봐

두 눈 똑바로 뜨고서

넌 절대 날 잊지 마

넌 나를 지우지 마

Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah

심장을 절뚝거리다

이 길의 끝은 여기야

라고 단정 짓고 숨 한 모금

들이쉬고 나서는 깊은 한숨을 내쉬며

가슴에 그녀를 다 찢어

소리 없는 비명을 지르다가

이리저리 떠다니는 잔상을 지워

남아있는 추억들을

하늘 위로 불태워 burn

나를 놓치기 싫어

나를 더 망치기 싫어

끝나도 끝나지 않는 기억에

이길 자신이 난 없어

사랑 같은 건 결국

한 사람에겐 거짓말

이젠 널 잊는 나를 지켜봐

두 눈 똑바로 뜨고서

넌 절대 날 잊지 마

널 다시 만났어 울었어

뭔가 잘못돼 버렸어

가슴이 기억하고 있어

Let me free

전부 그대로였어

Let me breathe

더 피할 곳이 없어 너를

너를 잡으면 아픈

놓아도 더 아픈 나를

꿈 속의 꿈보다 깊은 이 곳을

벗어날 자신이 없어

잊는다는 건 전부

남겨진 나의 거짓말

가슴에 다시 번지는 얼굴

전보다 아픈 것 같아

더 그리운 것 같아

더 해로운 것 같아

Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah
