Lovesick girls

Lovesick Girls

Lovesick girls

Lovesick Girls

영원한 밤

Eternal night

창문 없는 방에 우릴 가둔 love (love)

Locked in a windowless room, love (love)

What can we say?

What can we say?

매번 아파도 외치는 love (love)

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

다치고 망가져도 나 뭘 믿고 버티는 거야?

Getting hurt and falling apart, how do I keep going, trusting something?

어차피 떠나면 상처투성인 채로 미워하게 될걸

Anyway, when I leave, I'll hate the mess of scars

끝장을 보기 전 끝낼 순 없어

Can't end it until I see it through to the end

이 아픔을 기다린 것처럼

Just like waiting for this pain

아마 다 잠깐 일지도 몰라

Maybe it's only for a moment

우린 무얼 찾아서 헤매는 걸까?

What are we searching for while wandering?

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

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

내 세상 속엔 너만 있으면 돼

As long as you're in my world, that's enough

We are the lovesick girls

We are the lovesick girls

네 멋대로 내 사랑을 끝낼 순 없어

You can't end my love on your own

We are the lovesick girls

We are the lovesick girls

이 아픔 없인 난 아무 의미가 없어

Without this pain, I mean nothing

But we were born to be alone

But we were born to be alone

Yeah, we were born to be alone

Yeah, 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?

But why are we still searching for love?

No love letters, no X and O's

No love letters, no X's and O's

No love, never, my exes know

No love, never, my exes know

No diamond rings, that set in stone

No diamond rings that last forever

To the left, better left alone

Better to be left alone on the left side

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

Didn't want to be a princess, I'm priceless

A prince not even on my list

A prince isn't even on my list

Love is a drug that I quit

Love is a drug I’ve quit

No doctor could help when I'm lovesick

No doctor can help when I’m lovesick

아마 다 잠깐일지도 몰라

Maybe it’s only for a moment

우린 무얼 찾아서 헤매는 걸까?

What are we searching for while wandering?

불안한 내 눈빛 속에 널 담아

I hold your image in my anxious eyes

아프더라도 너만 있으면 돼

Even if it hurts, as long as I have you

We are the lovesick girls

We are the lovesick girls

네 멋대로 내 사랑을 끝낼 순 없어

You can’t end my love on your own

We are the lovesick girls

We are the lovesick girls

이 아픔 없인 난 아무 의미가 없어

Without this pain, I mean nothing

But we were born to be alone

But we were born to be alone

Yeah, we were born to be alone

Yeah, 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?

But why are we still searching for love?

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

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

아프다 아물면 또 찾아오는 이 겁 없는 떨림

It’s painful, but once it heals, that trembling comes back

들리지 않아 what you say, 이 아픔이 난 행복해

I can’t hear what you say, this pain makes me happy

나를 불쌍해하는 네가 내 눈엔 더 불쌍해

And I feel more sorry for you than for myself

We are the lovesick girls

We are the lovesick girls

네 멋대로 내 사랑을 끝낼 순 없어

You can’t end my love on your own

We are the lovesick girls

We are the lovesick girls

이 아픔 없인 난 아무 의미가 없어

Without this pain, I mean nothing

(One, two, lovesick girls) 모두 결국 떠나가고

(One, two, lovesick girls) Everyone eventually leaves

(Lovesick girls) 내 눈물이 무뎌져도

(Lovesick girls) Even when my tears dull, I keep going

(Lovesick girls) 아프고 또 아파도

(Lovesick girls) Even if it’s painful again and again

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

(Lovesick girls) but we’re still searching for love
