Lovesick girls

Lovesick girls

An eternal night

Love has trapped us in a room without windows (love)

What can we say?

Even though it hurts every time, we shout out love (love)

Even if I'm hurt and broken, what am I believing in to endure?

If you leave anyway, I'll end up hating you, covered in scars

I can't end it before seeing the end

As if I've been waiting for this pain

Maybe it's all just temporary

What are we searching for, wandering around?

But I don't care, I'll do it over and over

You're all I need in my world

We are the lovesick girls

You can't end my love as you please

We are the lovesick girls

Without this pain, I have no meaning

But we were born to be alone

Yeah, we were born to be alone

Yeah, we were born to be alone

But why we still looking for love?

No love letters, no X and O's

No love, never, my exes know

No diamond rings, that set in stone

To the left, better left alone

Didn't wanna be a princess, I'm priceless

A prince not even on my list

Love is a drug that I quit

No doctor could help when I'm lovesick

Maybe it's all just temporary

What are we searching for, wandering around?

I capture you in my anxious eyes

Even if it hurts, you're all I need

We are the lovesick girls

You can't end my love as you please

We are the lovesick girls

Without this pain, I have no meaning

But we were born to be alone

Yeah, we were born to be alone

Yeah, we were born to be alone

But why we still looking for love?

Love is slippin' and fallin', love is killin' your darlin'

It hurts, but when it heals, this fearless trembling comes again

I can't hear what you say, I'm happy with this pain

You pity me, but to me, you're more pitiable

We are the lovesick girls

You can't end my love as you please

We are the lovesick girls

Without this pain, I have no meaning

(One, two, lovesick girls) In the end, everyone leaves

(Lovesick girls) Even when my tears become dull

(Lovesick girls) Even if it hurts and hurts again

(Lovesick girls) But we're still looking for love

Lovesick girls

Lovesick girls

영원한 밤

창문 없는 방에 우릴 가둔 love (love)

What can we say?

매번 아파도 외치는 love (love)

다치고 망가져도 나 뭘 믿고 버티는 거야?

어차피 떠나면 상처투성인 채로 미워하게 될걸

끝장을 보기 전 끝낼 순 없어

이 아픔을 기다린 것처럼

아마 다 잠깐 일지도 몰라

우린 무얼 찾아서 헤매는 걸까?

But I don't care, I'll do it over and over

내 세상 속엔 너만 있으면 돼

We are the lovesick girls

네 멋대로 내 사랑을 끝낼 순 없어

We are the lovesick girls

이 아픔 없인 난 아무 의미가 없어

But we were born to be alone

Yeah, we were born to be alone

Yeah, we were born to be alone

But why we still looking for love?

No love letters, no X and O's

No love, never, my exes know

No diamond rings, that set in stone

To the left, better left alone

Didn't wanna be a princess, I'm priceless

A prince not even on my list

Love is a drug that I quit

No doctor could help when I'm lovesick

아마 다 잠깐일지도 몰라

우린 무얼 찾아서 헤매는 걸까?

불안한 내 눈빛 속에 널 담아

아프더라도 너만 있으면 돼

We are the lovesick girls

네 멋대로 내 사랑을 끝낼 순 없어

We are the lovesick girls

이 아픔 없인 난 아무 의미가 없어

But we were born to be alone

Yeah, we were born to be alone

Yeah, we were born to be alone

But why we still looking for love?

사랑은 slippin' and fallin', 사랑은 killin' your darlin'

아프다 아물면 또 찾아오는 이 겁 없는 떨림

들리지 않아 what you say, 이 아픔이 난 행복해

나를 불쌍해하는 네가 내 눈엔 더 불쌍해

We are the lovesick girls

네 멋대로 내 사랑을 끝낼 순 없어

We are the lovesick girls

이 아픔 없인 난 아무 의미가 없어

(One, two, lovesick girls) 모두 결국 떠나가고

(Lovesick girls) 내 눈물이 무뎌져도

(Lovesick girls) 아프고 또 아파도

(Lovesick girls) but we're still looking for love
