Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Don’t talk like you’re my other half

My other half is now mine

Don’t call me a bad lover

The bad one is your girl

XOXO

XOXO

Nothing lasts forever

Spitting it out like a habit

It ended beautifully, just as you said

Pretty girl friends aren’t real

Did she steal you from me? (Look out!)

Tears drop, I’m falling

In my G65, I’m rollin’

I should erase these two words, us

Even if I hate you too much, I should let it go

I never want to see you again, X O

Don’t talk like you’re my other half

My other half is now mine

Don’t call me a bad lover

The bad one is your girl

XOXO

XOXO

Sweet words, like candy

As sweet as it was

It hurts, so please don’t speak, yeah

Because it hurts, we’re young

As blue as youth

I’m still pretty in the mirror, yeah

Oh no, I tore up your photos

I erased your number

Shining solo

Plenty of fish in the sea

But none swim like me, you know

Keep on rowing if you miss it

Hugs and kisses, X and O’s for you

Even if I hate you too much, I should let it go

I never want to see you again, X O

Don’t talk like you’re my other half

My other half is now mine

Don’t call me a bad lover

The bad one is your girl

XOXO

XOXO

I regret giving you my half

Had enough

Even if I give it again, I don’t want it

Just because

(Half of half of half)

Don’t talk like you’re my other half

My other half is now mine

Don’t call me a bad lover

The bad one is your girl

XOXO

XOXO

[Korean]

반쪽 같은 소리 하지 마

내 반쪽 이제 내 거야

나쁜 연이라고 하지 마

나쁜 건 너의 그녀야

XOXO

XOXO

Nothing lasts forever

버릇처럼 뱉던

네 말처럼 보기 좋게 끝났잖니

친구치곤 예쁜 여사친은 개뿔

걔한테 지금 너를 뺏긴 거니 (Look out!)

눈물 뚝 떨어져 I’m fallin

In my G 65 I’m rollin

이 두 글자를 지워야겠지 우리

너무 미워도 I should let it go

두 번 다신 널 보고 싶지 않아 X O

반쪽 같은 소리 하지 마

내 반쪽 이제 내 거야

나쁜 연이라고 하지 마

나쁜 건 너의 그녀야

XOXO

XOXO

사탕 발린 말투

달콤했던 만큼

아프니까 제발 don`t speak yeah

아프니까 청춘

파란만큼 젊음

거울 속에 난 still pretty yeah

Oh no 찢었어 너의 photos

지웠어 너의 번호

빛이 나는 solo

Plenty fish up in the sea

But they don’t swim like me you know it

Keep on rowin’ if you miss it

Hugs and kisses, x and o’s for you

너무 미워도 I should let it go

두 번 다신 널 보고 싶지 않아 X O

반쪽 같은 소리 하지 마

내 반쪽 이제 내 거야

나쁜 연이라고 하지 마

나쁜 건 너의 그녀야

XOXO

XOXO

반쪽을 줬던 내가 안타까워

Had enough

다시 줘도 원하지도 않아

Just because

(반의반의 반)

반쪽 같은 소리 하지 마

내 반쪽 이제 내 거야

나쁜 연이라고 하지 마

나쁜 건 너의 그녀야

XOXO

XOXO
