[English]

What does my emotion matter?

Just play with me until you get bored

If it's for you, you can break me

Because I'm a toy, toy

When I'm useless, throw me away secretly

If I can be remembered, even faintly

I can be that

Everything I do it for you

I'm a toy, toy

When we share the stories I've kept inside

After you caress me

It was you who smiled

I won't be long before I'm placed in a corner

This fate belongs to you

Girl use me while you can

I'm all yours

I have nothing more to wish for from you

If I see you being filled because of me

I can let you take it all, will you?

If love is a game, use me without hesitation

Now you know, all you need is me

I'm your toy, I'm your toy, I'm your toy

If love is a game, use me without hesitation

What am I to you?

Is this question also a desire for me?

I've poured out everything I have

Even simple expectations feel like a luxury

I can't take a step in your world anyway

Just stay as a beautiful memory displayed

When your heart becomes quiet, you can find me

Maybe it's wise to love like a fool

I can't say a word

My silent lips have already

Written several letters

It's just a light pain for me

But I want you to be sad

Girl use me while you can

I'm all yours

I have nothing more to wish for from you

If I see you being filled because of me

I can let you take it all, will you?

If love is a game, use me without hesitation

Now you know, all you need is me

I'm your toy

We can't be equal

You're my one and only, and I'm just one of many

Devoting myself without overstepping

Finishing a story we've never even started

Even if I burn right now, I'm a candle in the wind

Tears flow as much as I light you up

If this race suddenly stops, I will surely fall

Just walk with me even once

I have nothing more to wish for from you

If I see you being filled because of me

I can let you take it all, will you?

If love is a game, use me without hesitation

Now you know, all you need is me

I'm your toy, I'm your toy, I'm your toy

If love is a game, use me without hesitation

[Japanese]

내 감정 따위 뭐가 중요해

싫증 날 때까지 갖고 놀면 돼

널 위해서라면 날 부러뜨려도 좋아

Because I'm a toy, toy

쓸모 없어지면 버려 몰래

문득 어렴풋이라도 기억될

수만 있다면 나

Everything I do it for you

I'm a toy, toy

담아왔던 속 얘길 나눌 때면

날 어루만지고 나서야

미소를 지었던 너야

얼마 안 돼 구석에 놓이겠지만

이 운명은 네 소유인 걸

Girl use me while you can

I'm all yours

난 너에게 더 이상 바랄게 없어

나로 인해 채워지는 널 본다면

꺼내줄 수 있어 다 가져가 주겠니

사랑이 장난이면 가차 없이 날 이용해

Now you know, all you need is me

I'm your toy, I'm your toy, I'm your toy

사랑이 장난이면 가차 없이 날 이용해

"도대체 난 무엇일까 너한테"

이런 질문도 욕심일까 나한텐

있는 거 없는 거 다 쏟아부었지만

소박한 기대조차 사치라 느껴진다

어차피 네 세상에서 한 발짝도 못 떼

아름답던 사이로 남아 추억 속에 진열되면 돼

네 마음 한적해지면 날 발견할 수 있어

사랑은 바보처럼 하는 게 현명할지도

아무 말도 해줄 수 없는 나

침묵하는 내 입술은 벌써

몇 장의 편지를 써냈어

나 하나쯤의 가벼운 아픔이지만

네가 슬퍼하길 원해

Girl use me while you can

I'm all yours

난 너에게 더 이상 바랄게 없어

나로 인해 채워지는 널 본다면

꺼내줄 수 있어 다 가져가 주겠니

사랑이 장난이면 가차 없이 날 이용해

Now you know, all you need is me

I'm your toy

우린 평등할 수 없겠지

넌 내게 단 하나고 난 그 중 하나일 테니

주제넘지 않게끔만 헌신하면서

시작도 안 해본 이야길 마무리 지어

당장 타올라도 바람 앞의 촛불

널 밝힌 만큼 흐르는 눈물

이 달리길 갑자기 멈추면 난 분명히 넘어져

한 번만이라도 함께 걸어줘

난 너에게 더 이상 바랄게 없어

나로 인해 채워지는 널 본다면

꺼내줄 수 있어 다 가져가 주겠니

사랑이 장난이면 가차 없이 날 이용해

Now you know, all you need is me

I'm your toy, I'm your toy, I'm your toy

사랑이 장난이면 가차 없이 날 이용해
