[English]

These words now

Don't mean we're starting again

It's just that your

remaining memories

came to mind

That's all. Nothing more.

Honestly, every single day (you)

used to say you loved me

Before sleeping, or the moment I woke up, you'd say it again

Thinking of those moments, I just wanna say it out loud

You were beautiful

The way you looked at me

The voice that called my name

All of it -

All of it -

All of those things to me

were beautiful

That feeling as if I had no more to wish for

Moments only you gave me

All of it -

All of it -

Even though it's gone

You were so beautiful

...

Now, even you

the memories with me

must have become just a memory

To you

No matter what I say

it'll all be in the past

Honestly, without missing a single moment (you)

used to think of me first

Even when nothing's wrong, you'd apologize and thank me

Thinking of those moments, I just wanna say it out loud

You were beautiful

The way you looked at me

The voice that called my name

All of it -

All of it -

All of those things to me

were beautiful

That feeling as if I had no more to wish for

Moments only you gave me

All of it -

All of it -

Even though it's gone

You were so beautiful

I still think of you sometimes

Whether I should call you or not

Many times I hesitate

Baby, I know it's already over

No matter how much I want you back

You’re already

a scene from the past that’s over

I understand

The last time

that you looked at me with those eyes

That voice telling me to take care

All of it -

All of it -

Even that, to me

was beautiful

Even the tears you showed me

The moments I shared with you

All of it -

All of it -

even though it's gone

You were so beautiful

...

[Korean]

지금 이 말이

우리가 다시

시작하자는 건 아냐

그저 너의

남아있던 기억들이

떠올랐을 뿐이야

정말 하루도 빠짐없이 (너는)

사랑한다 말해줬었지

잠들기 전에 또 눈 뜨자마자 말해주던 너

생각이 나 말해보는 거야

예뻤어

날 바라봐 주던 그 눈빛

날 불러주던 그 목소리

다 -

다 -

그 모든 게 내겐

예뻤어

더 바랄게 없는듯한 느낌

오직 너만이 주던 순간들

다 -

다 -

지났지만

넌 너무 예뻤어

너도 이제는

나와의 기억이

추억이 되었을 거야

너에게는

어떤 말을 해도 다

지나간 일일 거야

정말 한번도 빠짐없이 (너는)

나를 먼저 생각해줬어

아무 일 아니어도 미안해 고마워 해주던 너

생각이 나 말해보는 거야

예뻤어

날 바라봐 주던 그 눈빛

날 불러주던 그 목소리

넌 너무 예뻤어

아직도 가끔 네 생각이 나

어렵게 전화를 걸어볼까

생각이 들 때도 많지만

Baby I know it's already over

아무리 원해도 너는 이제

이미 끝나버린 지난날의

한편의 영화였었단 걸

난 알아

마지막

날 바라봐 주던 그 눈빛

잘 지내라던 그 목소리

다 -

다 -

그마저도 내겐

예뻤어

내게 보여준 눈물까지

너와 가졌던 순간들은

다 -

다 -

지났지만

넌 너무 예뻤어
