[English]

I absolutely hate being in pain

Today, I start the morning with a piece of bread in my mouth

And begin the day just the same

All day long, I hold an iced Americano in one hand

I'm so tired I could die

Did I see this scene in the subway in a dream yesterday?

Oh right, it happens every day

In this busy life, just on an ordinary day

I see that person

The calm sky collapses

And my darkened vision turns red

I feel like I've forgotten something

For no reason, I feel like I might just cry

I think it’s better to just let it pass

I absolutely hate thinking about it

The clarity I gained from caffeine has faded

I feel like I might throw up from worrying all day

Even when evening comes, I forget my hunger

Right? Isn’t it strange? But you know

The moment I first saw you, what should I say? I miss you?

I find it funny too

The calm sky collapses

And my darkened vision turns red

I feel like I've forgotten something

For no reason, I feel like I might just cry

I think it’s better to just let it pass

I absolutely hate thinking about it

For a long time, someone who knows me

Has a sad expression, oh

Outside of memories without traces

Maybe in the past, in the future, in another dimension, in this world

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

The calm sky collapses

Even if my darkened vision turns red

I feel like I’m just going to miss it again

For no reason, I feel like I might just cry

I think it’s better to just let it pass

I absolutely hate thinking about it

No, I think it’s better to just let it pass

I absolutely hate being in pain

[Korean]

나는 아픈 건 딱 질색이니까

오늘도 아침엔 입에 빵을 물고

똑같이 하루를 시작하고

온종일 한 손엔 아이스 아메리카노

피곤해 죽겠네

지하철 속 이 장면 어제 꿈에서 봤나

아참 매일이지 지나치고

바쁜 이 삶에 그냥 흔한 날에

그 애를 보고 말야

평온했던 하늘이 무너지고

어둡던 눈앞이 붉어지며

뭔가 잊고 온 게 있는 것 같아

괜히 이상하게 막 울 것만 같고

그냥 지나치는 게 나을 것 같아

나는 생각은 딱 질색이니까

카페인으로 잡은 정신은 빠졌고

하루 종일 신경 쓰여 토할 것 같아

저녁이 돼도 배고픔까지 까먹고

그치 이상하지 근데 말야 있잖아

처음 본 순간 뭐라 할까 그립달까

나도 웃긴데 말야

평온했던 하늘이 무너지고

어둡던 눈앞이 붉어지며

뭔가 잊고 온 게 있는 것 같아

괜히 이상하게 막 울 것만 같고

그냥 지나치는 게 나을 것 같아

나는 생각은 딱 질색이니까

오랫동안 나를 아는

슬픈 표정을 하고 Oh

흔적 없는 기억 밖

혹 과거에 미래에 딴 차원에 세계에

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

평온했던 하늘이 무너지고

어둡던 눈앞이 붉어져도

다시 놓쳐버리는 것만 같아

괜히 이상하게 막 울 것만 같고

그냥 지나치는 게 나을 것 같아

나는 생각은 딱 질색이니까

아냐 지나치는 게 나을 것 같아

나는 아픈 건 딱 질색이니까
