널 사랑은 하지만 조금 지친 거야
I love you, but I’m feeling a bit worn out,
상처를 주기가 너무 두려운 거야
I’m too scared to hurt you,
착한 게 아냐 날 위해 그런 거야
I’m not being kind, I’m doing this for myself,
아직도 널 사랑한다는 거짓말
Still saying I love you is just a lie,
넌 답을 원했지 시작부터
You wanted answers right from the start,
결말을 미리 본 영화처럼
Like a movie where you’ve seen the ending first.
부담스러웠지 넌 점점 더
It’s been a burden, you’ve been getting heavier,
빈 틈 없이 짜여진 스토리처럼
Like a story woven without a single gap.
헤어지자, 그 한마디가 잔인한 거겠지
Breaking up, that one phrase is bound to be cruel,
입을 열어도 다시 삼키고 왜 못 뱉는 거지
Even when I open my mouth, I swallow it back, why can't I spit it out?
널 사랑은 하지만 조금 지친 거야
I love you, but I'm a little tired,
상처를 주기가 너무 두려운 거야
I'm too afraid of hurting you,
착한 게 아냐 날 위해 그런 거야
It's not being nice; it's for my sake,
아직도 널 사랑한다는 거짓말
Still, I lie saying I love you,
후우, 후우우우, 예
Hoo, hoo-oooh, yeah,
후우, 후우우우, 예
Hoo, hoo-oooh, yeah,
하루에 몇 번씩 생각했지
I've thought about it countless times a day,
나 없이 넌 어떻게 지낼지
How will you get by without me,
지키지 못할 많은 약속들
So many promises I can't keep,
이젠 의미 없는 말들로 남겠지
Now they'll remain as words without meaning.
헤어지자, 그 한마디가 잔인한 거겠지
Let's break up, that one word must be so cruel,
입을 열어도 다시 삼키고 왜 못 뱉는 거지
Even when I try to speak, I swallow it back, why can't I let it out?
널 사랑은 하지만 조금 지친 거야
I love you, but I'm a little tired,
상처를 주기가 너무 두려운 거야
I'm so afraid of hurting you,
착한 게 아냐 날 위해 그런 거야
It's not that I'm being nice; it's for my own sake,
아직도 널 사랑한다는 거짓말
Still lying that I love you,
후우, 후우우우, 예
Hoo, hoo-hoo, yeah,
후우, 후우우우, 예
Hoo, hoo-hoo, yeah,
헤어지자는 그 한마디를 왜 못 뱉는 거지?
Why can't I say that one word, let's break up?
사랑했지만, 이제 지친 거야
I loved you, but now I'm just tired.
Baby, I need you to say something, say something
Baby, I need you to say something, say something
너도 알잖아, 이제 끝인 거야
You know it too, this is the end now
Baby, I need you to say something, say something
Baby, I need you to say something, say something
후우, 후우우우, 예
Hoo, hoo-oo, yeah
사랑한다는 거짓말
A lie of saying I love you
후우, 후우우우, 예
Hoo, hoo-oo, yeah
사랑한다는 거짓말, 오
A lie of saying I love you, oh
