[English]

You're such a coward

Knowing we could never be together

You still worry about me

Even if I try to calm my heart, like repelling magnets

I keep searching for you

I can allow it

But I just can't forget

I want to let you go with a smile

But when your tears you shed for me

Make my heart ache

What am I supposed to do then?

Let's promise never to see each other again

I'll only get weaker if I see you

Don't worry, I'll forget you

I'll hurt only as much as I loved you

I guess I was still young

Like a child who only loved themselves

I'm ashamed

Even if we return to our places, I think we're already lost

Don't worry

I won't die, though

It'll be okay once the pain subsides for a while

But if that song you used to sing so often

Bothers my heart

What am I supposed to do then?

Let's promise never to see each other again

I'll only get weaker if I see you

Don't worry, I'll forget you

I'll hurt only as much as I loved you

Let's forgive each other

We didn't know each other

The meaning of love, I alone

Didn't know that goodbye was coming

I'll wander around because I miss you so much

I'll wander around because I miss you so much

I'll want to hold onto even that pain

I hope I become stronger from the pain

I'll meet someone nice and forget you

I'll only leave the memories of love

I'll only leave the memories of love

[Korean]

비겁해요 그대는

만날 수도 없던 걸 알면서도

나를 걱정하네요

마음을 달래도 갈라진 자석같이

그대를 찾아요

허락할 수 있어요

다만 잊지 못하죠

웃는 모습으로 놓아주고 싶지만

그대가 내게 흘려준 그 눈물에

가슴이 아릴 때면

그땐 어떻게 해야 하나요

두 번 다시 마주치지 않기로 해요

그댈 보면 약해질 테니

걱정하지 마요 나 잊을 거예요

사랑한 만큼만 아플게요

아직 어렸나 봐요

자신만을 사랑한 어린아이처럼

부끄러워서

제자릴 찾아도 이미 우린 길을 잃어버렸나 봐요

걱정하지 말아요

그래도 죽진 않아요

한동안 아프면 괜찮겠죠

다만 그대가 즐겨 부르던 그 노래가

내 맘을 괴롭히면

그땐 어떻게 하면 좋죠

두 번 다시 마주치지 않기로 해요

그댈 보면 약해질 테니

걱정하지 마요 나 잊을 거예요

사랑한 만큼만 아플게요

용서하기로 해요

서로 몰랐었죠

사랑의 의미를 이별이 오는 건

혼자 몰랐었죠

그대가 너무 보고 싶어 방황하겠죠

그대가 너무 보고 싶어 방황하겠죠

그 고통마저 잡고 싶겠죠

아픈 만큼 더 강해지길 바래요

좋은 사람 만나 그대를 잊겠지만

사랑한 추억만 남길게요

사랑한 추억만 남길게요
