[English]

내 눈앞에서 사라져

독하고 모진 말들도

서슴없이 내질렀던

내 모습은 누가 봐도

I was a fool

이제 와 미안해봤자

달라지는 건 없잖아

I know

욕이라도 괜찮아 그마저 아깝겠지만

네 목소리라도 듣고 싶어

멍청한 놈 어리석은 놈

다 내 탓이란 걸 이젠 알아

모자란 놈 바보 같은 놈

다 내 탓이란 걸 이젠 알아

Baby I was a fool

I was a fool

I said

이기적이야 여태 난 항상

나 밖엔 모르는 것 같아

미친 것 같아 나라는 사람

널 밀어내 버린 건 나야

Oh I was a fool Oh baby I was a fool

이제 와 후회해봤자

달라지는 건 없잖아

I know

잠깐이라도 괜찮아 마지막 모습이라도

다시 한번 널 볼수 있다면

멍청한 놈 어리석은 놈

다 내 탓이란 걸 이젠 알아

모자란 놈 바보 같은 놈

다 내 탓이란 걸 이젠 알아

Baby I was a fool

I was a fool

눈부시게 빛나던 넌 멀리멀리로

흩어져버린 기억들을 더듬고

네가 그리워 매일매일

Yes I know I'm late late

아무 일 없는 듯이 돌아와 줘 Baby

눈부시게 빛나던 넌 멀리멀리로

흩어져버린 기억들을 더듬고

네가 그리워 매일매일

Yes I know I'm late late

아무 일 없는 듯이 돌아와 줘 Baby

멍청한 놈 어리석은 놈

못난 놈이란 걸 이젠 알아

Fool

멍청한 놈 어리석은 놈

다 내 탓이란 걸 이젠 알아

모자란 놈 바보 같은 놈

다 내 탓이란 걸 이젠 알아

Baby I was a fool

I was a fool
