[English]

Hello...

Hello?

...

[G-Dragon] Yeah, love is pain

Dedicated to all my broken-hearted people

One's old flame

Just scream my name

And I'm so sick of love songs

Yeah, I hate damn love songs, memento of ours

It's a lie...

[G-Dragon] The rain falls down on this late night, and I hold you

At the end of those fading memories

I can't live well without you

Even if I try to forget, I can't

I drink alone

Even if I try to push away my heart, it still shines

I hate it, a day without you is like a curse

Please let me be (it's a lie)

Without you, I can't even smile

I can't even shed tears

I don't want to live anymore

[G-Dragon] Yeah

It feels like a hot badge

It seems like I will turn back to my thoughts

I want to see you, but I can't

Everything has come to an end

I'll be right there

I'm so sorry but I love you, it's a lie

I didn't know, now I know I need you

I'm so sorry but I love you, a painful word

Even if I leave you without knowing, I still feel it

I'm so sorry but I love you, it's a lie

I'm so sorry (I'm sorry)

But I love you (I love you more more)

I'm so sorry but I love you, leave me

Slowly, will you let me go

So that I can be okay

[T.O.P] For you, I sang a song that burned

All of my things are a song that I embraced

([Daesung] People won't know)

I alone, without anyone, without anyone knowing

Yeah, the words I said were a lie

In the hollow, a memory left behind

In that place, my feet are tangled

A curse that leads to a broken farewell

([Daesung] Where are you? Even the sound of calling you)

([Daesung]Neon eoditnayo neol bureuneun seubgwando)

I will change, now I will smile more

I'm so sorry but I love you, it's a lie

I didn't know, now I know I need you

I'm so sorry but I love you, a painful word

Even if I leave you without knowing, I still feel it

I'm so sorry but I love you, it's a lie

I'm so sorry ([Taeyang & T.O.P] I'm sorry)

But I love you ([Taeyang & T.O.P] I love you more more)

I'm so sorry but I love you, leave me

Slowly, will you let me go

So that I can be okay

Oh oh oh oh oh

Everything is a dream

Oh oh oh

This can't be happening to me

Drop that beat...

I still can't forget you

No, I don't want to live

Until I die, yeah

I don't know if I can endure it

I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do

I'm so sorry but I love you, it's a lie

I didn't know, now I know I need you

I'm so sorry but I love you, a painful word

Even if I leave you without knowing, I still feel it

I'm so sorry but I love you, it's a lie

I'm so sorry ([G-Dragon] I'm sorry)

But I love you ([G-Dragon] I love you more more)

I'm so sorry but I love you, leave me

Slowly, will you let me go

So that I can be okay

[G-Dragon] Bye bye...

Yeoboseyo?
