[English]

What should I say? Where do I start?

I just hang my head down, and you watch me like that

That awkward silence

I don't love you, and you probably know that too

Even when I see you crying, my heart doesn't hurt

I don't love you, there's no other reason

I don't want to say sorry, or ask for forgiveness

That's all there is to it, this is how I truly feel

I don't love you, I don't love you

I don't love you, and you probably know that too

Even when I see you crying, my heart doesn't hurt

I don't love you, there's no other reason

I don't want to say sorry, or ask for forgiveness

That's all there is to it, now this is my true feeling

I don't love you, I don't love you

I don't love you

There’s no other reason

I don't want to say sorry or ask for forgiveness

That's all there is, this is my honest truth

I don't love you, I don't love you

...

[Korean]

무슨 말을 할까 어디서부터 어떻게

고개만 떨구는 나 그런 날 바라보는 너

그 어색한 침묵

널 사랑하지 않아 너도 알고 있겠지만

눈물 흘리는 너의 모습에도 내 마음 아프지가 않아

널 사랑하지 않아 다른 이유는 없어

미안하다는 말도 용서해 달란 말도 하고 싶지 않아

그냥 그게 전부야 이게 내 진심인거야

널 사랑하지 않아 널 사랑하지 않아

널 사랑하지 않아 너도 알고 있겠지만

눈물 흘리는 너의 모습에도 내 마음 아프지가 않아

널 사랑하지 않아 다른 이유는 없어

미안하다는 말도 용서해 달란 말도 하고 싶지 않아

그냥 그게 전부야 이제 내 진심인거야

널 사랑하지 않아 널 사랑하지 않아

널 사랑하지 않아

다른 이유는 없어

미안하다는 말도 용서해 달란 말도 하고 싶지 않아

그냥 그게 전부야 이게 내 진심인거야

널 사랑하지 않아 널 사랑하지 않아
