[English]

You said it's time, yeah I could feel it

Even if I act like it's nothing

It's a predetermined promise, as if we already knew it

No fight, no tears

We, without anyone saying who goes first

Don't run from me

Instead, push me harder and try to rise

The moment I faced you, I froze

I see you standing there

I didn't know what to say

Maybe that's how we land

Oh-oh, in the end

We somehow came here just strangers

Oh-oh, in the end

We somehow came here just strangers

Goodbye on the dead‑end road

We are now on different terms

Oh-oh, in the end

We somehow came here just strangers

You said it could be better than last time

Yes, this time for real

As if even the last word would be different

No fight, no tears

We, without anyone saying who goes first

Don't run from me

Instead, push me harder and try to rise

The moment I faced you, I stopped

Let you close to me

No matter what I say, I can't stop

Maybe that's how we land

Oh-oh, in the end

We somehow came here just strangers

Oh-oh, in the end

We somehow came here just strangers

Goodbye on the dead‑end road

We are now on different terms

Oh-oh, in the end

We somehow came here just strangers

On the empty seat that was vacant

When our breaths overlap (again)

Now we are us

Oh-oh, in the end

We somehow came here just strangers

Oh-oh, in the end

We somehow came here just strangers

Oh-oh, in the end

We somehow came here just strangers

Oh-oh, in the end

We somehow came here just strangers

Goodbye on the dead‑end road

We are now on different terms

Oh-oh, in the end

We somehow came here just strangers

...

[Korean]

You said it's time, yeah I could feel it

아무 것도 아닌 척해도

이건 정해진 약속 마치 다 알고 있던 것처럼

No fight, no tears

누가 먼저라고 할 것도 없이 우린

Don't run from me

차라리 날 더 몰아붙여 세워 봐

널 마주한 순간 얼어 버렸어

I see you standing there

무슨 말을 해야 할지 몰랐어

Maybe that's how we land

Oh-oh, in the end

We somehow came here just strangers

Oh-oh, in the end

We somehow came here just strangers

막다른 길 위에서 안녕

우린 이제 다른 사이로

Oh-oh, in the end

We somehow came here just strangers

You said it could be better than last time

그래 이번엔 정말로

마지막 한마디까지 다를 것처럼

No fight, no tears

누가 먼저라고 할 것도 없이 우린

Don't run from me

차라리 날 더 몰아붙여 세워 봐

널 마주한 순간 멈춰 버렸어

Let you close to me

무슨 말을 해도 멈출 수 없어

Maybe that's how we land

Oh-oh, in the end

We somehow came here just strangers

Oh-oh, in the end

We somehow came here just strangers

막다른 길 위에서 안녕

우린 이제 다른 사이로

Oh-oh, in the end

We somehow came here just strangers

비어 있던 빈자리 그 위로

서로의 숨이 겹쳐지면 (다시)

이젠 우리가 되어 있어

Oh-oh, in the end

We somehow came here just strangers

Oh-oh, in the end

We somehow came here just strangers

Oh-oh, in the end

We somehow came here just strangers

Oh-oh, in the end

We somehow came here just strangers

막다른 길 위에서 안녕

우린 이제 다른 사이로

Oh-oh, in the end

We somehow came here just strangers
