I hold my breath tightly

I gaze at you

As if the world has stopped still

Like a passing breeze

Even if you can't see me

My heart is still directed towards you

Loving you

Is such a painful thing

That this heart can't be emptied

Is such a sad thing

Oh my love, ooh

Don't ever forget

This love that never stops

Your eyes

Are looking at me

As if they know my whole heart

Even if I try to distance myself

Memories are holding us captive

Even if I'm in another place

Loving you

Is such a painful thing

That this heart can't be emptied

Is such a sad thing

Oh my love, ooh

Don't ever forget

This love that never stops

It's okay even if it's a little late

If it's fate

We will meet again someday

Forgetting you

Is such a difficult thing

Turning back again

Is my sad dream where I end up crying

Someday, ooh

I hope to love you freely one day

난 숨을 꾹 참고

그대를 바라보네요

세상이 꼭 멈춘것처럼

스쳐 지나가는 바람처럼

나를 못본다해도

내마음은 그대를 향하네

그댈 사랑하는건

참 아픈일이야

비우지 못할 마음이란건

참 슬픈일이야

그대여 우

잊지는 말아요

멈춰지지않는 사랑

그대의 눈동자

날 바라보고있네요

내 맘을 다 아는 것처럼

멀어지려해도

기억들이 우리를 묻고있죠

다른 공간 속에 나 있어도

그댈 사랑하는건

참 아픈일이야

비우지못할 마음이란건

참 슬픈일이야

그대여 우

잊지는 말아요

멈춰지지 않는 사랑

조금 늦어도 괜찮아요

운명이라면

우리 다시 만나질텐데

그댈 잊는다는건

어려운일이야

또 뒤돌아서

울어버리는 내 슬픈 꿈이야

언젠가 우

마음껏 그대를 사랑하게 되길 바래
