[English]

I know I can’t live with you and without you

You keep lying so nicely

Oh why, I'm into it even though I hate it

I knew it was a mistake

I knew it, but

It's not like I particularly doubted you

You were more than I can wish for

Finally, the thing I've wanted for so long

Was getting closer

But now it’s getting away farther

And I pretended I’m fine

Why was I so blind? Blind? Yeah

I can't wait any longer

If we're gonna fly, countdown with me.

Goodbye, I, I, I gotta go

Now it's too late to choose, choose, choose me, it's a no

You know you’re out of tune

Same old excuses

So Baby, I’m so over you

You're not next to me, HyperNova

I’m not alone, I’m flying with my friends

Goodbye, I, I, I gotta go

This love is a contradiction

Coulda, shoulda, woulda—it's too late, I can’t go back

Coulda, shoulda, woulda—even if I'm stuck, he won't come back

Clouded heart, rain, but I’ll forget about it

It'll be sunny tomorrow...OK

Beyond the anger, if I can surpass it, I’ll upgrade myself

Leveling up

Even though I’ve got a SUPER version of myself

If I dance alone again

It’ll be boring... let's jump off this dimension

Interstellar mode

And you ask me if I’m fine

You’re no longer mine, mine, baby

It won’t work anymore

If we're gonna fly, countdown with me...

Goodbye, I, I, I gotta go

Now it's too late to choose, choose, choose me, it's a no

You know you’re out of tune

Same old excuses

So Baby, I’m so over you

You're not next to me, HyperNova

I’m not alone, I’m flying with my friends

Goodbye, I, I, I gotta go

Cause I got nothing to lose

I know it won’t go anywhere, so

I’ll let it go, all of you

So I’m gonna move on without you
