谢谢你的爱 - 金润吉

I dare not, should not, cannot think of it

Thank you again for your love

I have no choice but to exist

In your future

I fear this will only bring you

Eternal pain

Don’t ask me

How many people I’ve loved in my life

You don’t understand how deep my wounds are

Reopening wounds is always cruel

I advise you not to be a fool for love

Save some of your passion

I don’t like being alone

Yet I fear being with someone

This is clearly a kind of pain

I’m quietest when surrounded by people

My smile is lonely too

In this vast world of mortals

I seek someone to love me

When I avoid your tenderness

Tears begin to fall

I dare not, should not, cannot think of it

Thank you again for your love

I have no choice but to exist

Like a speck of dust

I’ll still bring you pain

I dare not, should not, cannot think of it

Thank you again for your love

I have no choice but to exist

In your future

I fear this will only bring you

Eternal pain

I dare not, should not, cannot think of it

Thank you again for your love

I have no choice but to exist

Like a speck of dust

I dare not, should not, cannot think of it

Thank you again for your love

I have no choice but to exist

In your future

I don’t like being alone

Yet I fear being with someone

This is clearly a kind of pain

I’m quietest when surrounded by people

My smile is lonely too

In this vast world of mortals

I seek someone to love me

When I avoid your tenderness

Tears begin to fall

I dare not, should not, cannot think of it

Thank you again for your love

I have no choice but to exist

Like a speck of dust

I’ll still bring you pain

I dare not, should not, cannot think of it

Thank you again for your love

I have no choice but to exist

In your future

I fear this will only bring you

Eternal pain

I dare not, should not, cannot think of it

Thank you again for your love

I have no choice but to exist

Like a speck of dust

I dare not, should not, cannot think of it

Thank you again for your love

I have no choice but to exist

In your future

谢谢你的爱 - 金润吉

是不敢不想不应该

再谢谢你的爱

我不得不存在啊

在你的未来

最怕这样就是带给你

永远的伤害

不要问我

一生曾经爱过多少人

你不懂我伤有多深

要剥开伤口总是很残忍

劝你别作痴心人

多情暂且保留几分

不喜欢孤独

却又害怕两个人相处

这分明是一种痛苦

在人多时候最沉默

笑容也寂寞

在万丈红尘中啊

找个人爱我

当我避开你的柔情后

泪开始坠落

是不敢不想不应该

再谢谢你的爱

我不得不存在啊

像一颗尘埃

还是会带给你伤害

是不敢不想不应该

再谢谢你的爱

我不得不存在啊

在你的未来

最怕这样就是带给你

永远的伤害

是不敢不想不应该

再次谢谢你的爱

我不得不存在啊

像一颗尘埃

是不敢不想不应该

再次谢谢你的爱

我不得不存在啊

在你的未来

不喜欢孤独

却又害怕两个人相处

这分明是一种痛苦

在人多时候最沉默

笑容也寂寞

在万丈红尘中啊

找个人爱我

当我避开你的柔情后

泪开始坠落

是不敢不想不应该

再谢谢你的爱

我不得不存在

像一颗尘埃

还是会带给你伤害

是不敢不想不应该

再谢谢你的爱

我不得不存在啊

在你的未来

最怕这样就是带给你

永远的伤害

是不敢不想不应该

再次谢谢你的爱

我不得不存在啊

像一颗尘埃

是不敢不想不应该

再次谢谢你的爱

我不得不存在啊

在你的未来
