[English]

Why why you leave me alone baby

I'm still still loving you

넌 지금 나를 두고 떠나가지만

행복하길 바랄게

...

넌 입버릇처럼 항상 내게 말했지

언젠가 올 너와 나의 (마지막을)

난 입버릇처럼 항상 너에게 말했지

내가 할 수 있는 모든 걸 다해 널 지킨다고

(I wanna) hold you tight make you mine never leave me alone

너 하나만 바라는데 난 그거면 충분한데

결국엔 모든 게 어긋나 버렸어

이런 나를 두고 떠나가니 왜

Good luck baby good luck to you 꼭 행복해야 해

너만 보는 날 너 하나밖에 없던 날 두고 떠나갔다면

Good luck baby good luck to you 누구를 만나도

네가 내게 남긴 상처만큼 넌 더 행복해야 해 eyo

Ey, I hate you love you

하루에도 몇 번 up and down feels like an elevator

Heal me I'm heartsick

There ain't no cure for my disease

너덜너덜해 난 너 때문에

네가 남긴 상처의 크기는 가늠이 안 돼

이런 상황에 난 널 위해 두 손을 모으네

I pray for ya good luck to ya

(I wanna) hold you tight

Make you mine never leave me alone

너 하나만 바라는데 난 그거면 충분한데

결국엔 모든 게 어긋나 버렸어

이런 나를 두고 떠나가니 왜

Good luck baby good luck to you 꼭 행복해야 해

너만 보는 날 너 하나밖에 없던 날 두고 떠나갔다면

Good luck baby good luck to you 누구를 만나도

네가 내게 남긴 상처만큼 넌 더 행복해야 해

더 행복해야 해 이거 하나만은 알고 가

나만큼 널 사랑할 사람 없단 걸

난 너에게 많은 이별 중 하나겠지만

넌 나에게 처음이자 마지막인 걸

Hoh oh, yeah, oh, oh hoh oh

Good luck baby (oh) good luck to you

꼭 행복해야 해 (yeah yeah)

너만 보는 날 (oh hoh) 너 하나밖에 없던 날 두고 떠나갔다면 (두고 떠나갔다면)

Good luck baby (ah hah) good luck to you 누구를 만나도

네가 내게 남긴 상처만큼 넌 더 행복해야 해
