[English]

Fall (everything), fall (everything)

Fall (everything), it scatters

Fall (everything), fall (everything)

Fall (everything), it falls

Because of you, I'm falling apart like this

I want to stop, I won't have you anymore

I can't do it, it's so frustrating

Please, spare me the excuses

You shouldn't treat me like this

Everything you said is not okay

Hiding the truth and tearing me apart

Take a shot at me, I'm going crazy, I hate everything

Take it all away, I just hate you

But you're my everything (you're my)

Everything (you're my), everything (you're my)

Please, just go away, huh

I'm sorry (I hate you), I love you (I hate you)

Forgive me

I need you, girl

Why love alone? Why only break up alone?

I need you, girl

Why do I keep needing you, knowing it will hurt?

I need you, girl (you're beautiful)

I need you, girl (you're so cold)

I need you, girl (I need you, girl)

I need you, girl, I need you, girl

It goes round and round, why do I keep coming back?

I go down and down, at this point, I'm a fool

No matter what I do

I can't help it

It's clearly my heart, my mind, my chest

Why won't it listen?

Talking to myself again (talking to myself again)

Talking to myself again (talking to myself again)

You don't say anything, ah, please, I'll do well

The sky is blue again (the sky is blue again)

The sky is blue, the sunlight shines

I guess my tears are more visible

Why is it you? Why is it you of all people?

Why can't I leave you?

I need you, girl

Why love alone? Why only break up alone?

I need you, girl

Why do I keep needing you, knowing it will hurt?

I need you, girl (you're beautiful)

I need you, girl (you're so cold)

I need you, girl (I need you, girl)

I need you, girl, I need you, girl

Girl, rather, please just tell me to break up

Girl, say it wasn't love, oh

I don't have the courage for that

Give me one last gift

So I can't go back anymore, oh

I need you, girl

Why love alone? Why only break up alone?

I need you, girl

Why do I keep needing you, knowing it will hurt?

I need you, girl (you're beautiful)

I need you, girl (you're so cold)

I need you, girl (I need you, girl)

I need you, girl, I need you, girl

...

[Korean]

Fall (everything), fall (everything)

Fall (everything), 흩어지네

Fall (everything), fall (everything)

Fall (everything), 떨어지네

너 땜에 나 이렇게 망가져

그만할래, 이제 너 안 가져

못하겠어, 뭣 같아서

제발, 핑계 같은 건 삼가줘

네가 나한테 이러면 안 돼

네가 한 모든 말은 안대

진실을 가리고 날 찢어

날 찍어, 나 미쳐, 다 싫어

전부 가져가, 난 네가 그냥 미워

But you're my everything (you're my)

Everything (you're my), everything (you're my)

제발, 좀 꺼져, huh

미안해 (I hate you), 사랑해 (I hate you)

용서해

I need you, girl

왜 혼자 사랑하고? 혼자서만 이별해

I need you, girl

왜 다칠 걸 알면서? 자꾸 네가 필요해

I need you, girl (넌 아름다워)

I need you, girl (너무 차가워)

I need you, girl (I need you, girl)

I need you, girl, I need you, girl

It goes round and round, 나 왜 자꾸 돌아오지?

I go down and down, 이쯤 되면 내가 바보지

나 무슨 짓을 해봐도

어쩔 수가 없다고

분명 내 심장, 내 마음, 내 가슴인데

왜 말을 안 듣냐고?

또 혼잣말하네 (또 혼잣말하네)

또 혼잣말하네 (또 혼잣말하네)

넌 아무 말 안 해, 아, 제발, 내가 잘할게

하늘은 또 파랗게 (하늘은 또 파랗게)

하늘이 파래서 햇살이 빛나서

내 눈물이 더 잘 보이나 봐

왜 나는 너인지? 왜 하필 너인지?

왜 너를 떠날 수가 없는지?

I need you, girl

왜 혼자 사랑하고? 혼자서만 이별해

I need you, girl

왜 다칠 걸 알면서? 자꾸 네가 필요해

I need you, girl (넌 아름다워)

I need you, girl (너무 차가워)

I need you, girl (I need you, girl)

I need you, girl, I need you, girl

Girl, 차라리, 차라리 헤어지자고 해줘

Girl, 사랑이, 사랑이 아니었다고 해줘, 오

내겐 그럴 용기가 없어

내게 마지막 선물을 줘

더는 돌아갈 수 없도록, 오

I need you, girl

왜 혼자 사랑하고? 혼자서만 이별해

I need you, girl

왜 다칠 걸 알면서? 자꾸 네가 필요해

I need you, girl (넌 아름다워)

I need you, girl (너무 차가워)

I need you, girl (I need you, girl)

I need you, girl, I need you, girl
