[English]

Lately, you feel so unfamiliar to me

Yesterday, there wasn't even a single call

I've been waiting for your kind words asking

Where are you, have you eaten?

Seeing you with nothing to say, I sense

What did I do wrong?

Or is it you who's changed?

Or has someone else come into my life?

Do you no longer love me?

Are we strangers now?

Why have you come to dislike me?

Can't you tell me?

Have I become annoying by calling all the time?

Even now, I still love you

What should I do, what should I do?

Am I the one being cold?

Or was it you back then?

Is it because of the person you were seeing before?

Will you talk to me like you do to the one you're seeing?

I'll fix it, I'll fix everything, don't leave

Today, getting mad at me again, good night

Tonight, in my dreams

We might meet and only say sweet things

Why have you come to dislike me? Can't you tell me?

Lately, you feel so unfamiliar to me

Yesterday, there wasn't even a single call

I've been waiting for your kind words asking where you are, have you eaten?

Seeing you with nothing to say, I sense what I did wrong

Or is it you who's changed? Or has someone else come into my life?

Do you no longer love me?

Are we strangers? Why have you come to dislike me?

Can't you tell me?

Why have you come to dislike me?

Can't you tell me?

Have I become annoying by calling all the time?

Even now, I still love you

What should I do, what should I do?

What did I do wrong?

Or is it you who's changed?

Is it because of the person you were seeing before?

Will you talk to me like you do to the one you're seeing?

I'll fix it, I'll fix everything, don't leave

Today, getting mad at me again, good night

Tonight, in my dreams

Why have you come to dislike me?

Do you no longer love me?

I'll fix it, I'll fix everything

Don't leave

[Korean]

요즘 너무나 네가 낯설게 느껴져

어제는 전화도 한 번 없었지

어디니 밥은 먹었냐고 묻는

상냥한 네 말 기다렸는데

아무 말도 없는 너를 보며 느껴

내가 뭘 잘못한 건지

네가 맞는 건지

다른 사람 내게 생긴 건지

이제 더 이상 날 사랑하지였니

우리별인 거니

왜 내가 싫어졌는지

내게 말해 줄 수 없니

자꾸만 전화해서 귀찮아진 거니

아직도 나 너를 사랑하고 있는데

난 어떡해 난 어떡해

내이 차가운 건지

예전에 네가 맞는지

너 전에 만나던 그 사람 때문이니

말해 줄래 네가 만나는 그 사람처럼

고칠게 다 고칠게 떠나지 마

오늘도 내게 화를 걸어서 잘자라

오늘 밤 꿈에서

보자 달콤만 말해 줄 것 같은데

왜 내가 싫어졌는지 내게 말해 줄 순 없니

요즘 너무나 네가 낯설게 느껴져

어제는 전화도 한 번 없었지

어디니 밥은 먹었냐고는 상냥한네 말 기다렸는데

아무 말도 없는 너를 보며 느껴 내가 할 돈

네가 맞는 건지 다른 사람 내게 생긴 건지

이제 더 이상 날 사랑하지였니

우리별인 건니 왜 내가 싫어졌는지

내게 말해 줄 수 없니

왜 내가 싫어졌는지

내게 말해 줄 순 없니

자꾸만 정화해서 귀찮아진 거니

아직도 나 너를 사랑하고 있는데

난 어떡해 난 어떡해

내가 뭘 잘못한 건지

네가 맞는 건지

너 전에 만나던 그 사람 때문이니

말해 줄래 네가 만나는 그 사람처럼

고칠게 다 고칠게 떠나지 마

오늘도 내게 화를 걸어서 잘자라

오늘 밤 꿈에서

보자 달콤만 말해 줄 것 같은데

왜 내가 싫어졌는지 내게 말해 줄 순 없니

왜 내가 싫어졌는지

내게 말해 줄 수 없니

네가 맞는 건지

다른 사람 내게 생긴 건지

이제 더 이상 날 사랑하지였니

고칠게 다 고칠게

떠나지 마
