[English]

If I could turn back time

Would my memories be erased?

I know I say things

That I can't even try

I made you suffer

And made you live with tears

...

It's because of my sorry heart

...

But you know, I can't

Live outside of you

For me, only the time colored by you

Flows on

I love you, thank you

...

Hold me warmly

...

Because of this love, I can live

...

I guess that's what love is

No matter what I say

It feels like something's unfulfilled

...

It seems like my heart

Is my greed

Even if I think again

That feeling doesn't easily disappear

...

You know, I can't

Live outside of you

For me, only the time colored by you

Flows on

I love you, thank you

Hold me warmly

...

Because of this love, I can live

If I go back, can I endure it again?

The times that were so hard

When I see you, who remains unshaken

My trembling lips

Do do do, do do do

...

You know, I can't

Live outside of you

For me, only the time colored by you

Flows on

I love you, thank you

Hold me warmly

Because of this love, I can live

Because of love, I can live

...

[Korean]

시간을 되돌리면

기억도 지워질까?

해볼 수도 없는 말들을

내뱉는 걸 알아

널 힘들게 했고

눈물로 살게 했던

미안한 마음에 그런 거야

하지만 난 말이야

너의 밖에선 살 수 없어

내겐 너 하나로 물든 시간만이

흘러갈 뿐이야

사랑해요, 고마워요

따뜻하게 나를 안아줘

이 사랑 땜에 나는 살 수 있어

사랑은 그런가 봐

무슨 말을 해봐도

채워지지 않은 것 같은

마음이 드나 봐

내 욕심이라고

다시 생각을 해봐도

그 마음 쉽게 사라지지 않아

알잖아 난 말이야

너의 밖에선 살 수 없어

내겐 너 하나로 물든 시간만이

흘러갈 뿐이야

사랑해요, 고마워요

따뜻하게 나를 안아줘

이 사랑 땜에 나는 살 수 있어

돌아가도 다시 견딜 수 있을까?

너무 힘들던 시간들

흔들리지 않은 너를 볼 때면

떨리는 내 입술이

뚜루루, 뚜루루

알잖아 난 말이야

너의 밖에선 살 수 없어

내겐 너 하나로 물든 시간만이

흘러갈 뿐이야

사랑해요, 고마워요

따뜻하게 나를 안아줘

이 사랑 땜에 나는 살 수 있어

사랑 땜에 나는 살 수 있어
