[English]

Let's not love each other; we still don't really know each other.

Honestly, I'm a little afraid. Sorry about that.

Let's not promise anything for tomorrow; who knows what will happen then.

But this much I mean sincerely — I like you.

Don't ask me anything.

I can't answer right now.

We're happy like this now, so why...

Don’t try to hold onto me.

Just stay like this a little longer.

Why does it hurt more each time it happens?

A breakup after frequent meetings.

Endless heartbreak repeating over and over.

I can't find meaning anymore—foolish attachment.

Love's disguise—mistake.

All the feelings I feel are pretty much the same.

But just this moment, I want you to stay.

Let's not love each other; we still don't really know each other.

Honestly, I'm a little afraid. Sorry about that.

Let's not promise anything for tomorrow; who knows what will happen then.

But this much I mean sincerely — I like you.

Don't smile when you look at me.

It makes me sad when we become close.

I'm afraid your pretty smile might turn into tears.

In the two words called love,

don't try to trap us inside it.

Because it's an insatiable greed.

At first, we start with excitement and some hesitation.

In the end, we just go on, sticking to loyalty, making mistakes.

Every day I feel anxious because your innocence is a burden.

But tonight, just tonight, I want you to stay.

Don't ask for too much from me.

I don't want to lose you either.

Before it gets deeper, before you get hurt.

Don't trust me.

You always do this.

A selfish bastard.

Let's not love each other; we still don't really know each other.

Honestly, I'm a little afraid. Sorry about that.

Let's not promise anything for tomorrow; who knows what will happen then.

But this much I mean sincerely — I like you.

[Korean]

우리 사랑하지 말아요 아직은 잘 모르잖아요

사실 조금은 두려운 거야 그대 미안해요

우리 약속하지 말아요 내일은 또 모르잖아요

하지만 이 말 만은 진심이야 그대 좋아해요

아무것도 묻지 말아요

대답할 수 없어요

지금 이렇게 둘이 행복한데 왜

날 가지려 하지 말아요

그저 이대로 조금만 있어요

갈수록 더 마음 아파지게 왜

잦은 만남 뒤엔 이별

계속 반복되는 실연

더는 의미를 찾을 수 없어 어리석은 미련

사랑의 탈을 쓴 mistake

느끼는 감정은 다 비슷해

하지만 이 순간만큼은 I want you to stay

우리 사랑하지 말아요 아직은 잘 모르잖아요

사실 조금은 두려운 거야 그대 미안해요

우리 약속하지 말아요 내일은 또 모르잖아요

하지만 이 말 만은 진심이야 그대 좋아해요

나를 보며 웃지 말아요

정들면 슬퍼져요

예쁜 그 미소가 눈물이 될까 봐

사랑이란 두 글자 속에

우릴 가두려고 하지 말아요

채우지 못할 욕심이니까

처음엔 설렘을 안고 반은 고민을 안고

끝엔 서로 의리로나마 지내 시행착오

난 하루하루가 불안해 네 그 순수함이 부담돼

하지만 오늘 밤만큼은 I want you to stay

내게 너무 많은 걸 바라지마

나도 그댈 잃고 싶진 않아

깊어지기 전에 상처 입기 전에

날 믿지 말아요

넌 항상 그래

이기적인 새끼

우리 사랑하지 말아요 아직은 잘 모르잖아요

사실 조금은 두려운 거야 그대 미안해요

우리 약속하지 말아요 내일은 또 모르잖아요

하지만 이 말 만은 진심이야 그대 좋아해요
