  1. Tell Me What To Do

    Tell Me What To Do

  2. Tell Me What To Do

    Tell Me What To Do

  3. Tell Me What To Do

    Tell Me What To Do

  4. Tell Me What To Do

    Tell Me What To Do

  5. 요즘 난

    Lately, I've been

  6. I don't know I don't know you

    I don't know, I don't know you

  7. 많은 걸 포기한 듯한 눈빛

    With eyes that seem to have given up so much

  8. 하지만 들려 무언의 외침

    But I can hear a silent cry

  1. Tell Me What To Do

    Tell Me What To Do

  2. 극적인 전개도 없는 연인

    A lover without any dramatic twists

  3. 시간이 두는 패착인 걸까

    Is time the blunder we're caught in?

  4. 끝내지 않아도 이미 끝난

    Even if it doesn't end, it's already over.

  5. Tell Me What To Do

    Tell Me What To Do

  6. 풀리지 않는 매듭은

    The knot that won't unravel

  7. 우리 앞에 있는데

    Is right in front of us.

  8. 내가 먼저 다가가

    I'll step forward first,

  9. 막다른 길 끝에서

    At the dead end of this road.

  10. 흘린 눈물에 다 젖어버린

    Soaked by the tears I shed,

  11. 두 볼을 닦아주고 물어볼래

    I want to wipe your cheeks and ask you,

  12. Tell Me What To Do

    Tell Me What To Do

  13. Tell Me What To Do

    Tell Me What To Do

  14. Tell Me What To Do

    Tell Me What To Do

  15. Tell Me What To Do

    Tell Me What To Do

  16. 말하지 않아도 알아주길

    I hope you understand without me saying a word

  17. 뭔가 주기만 했다는 착각

    The illusion that I only gave something

  18. 익숙한 존재라 던진 말들

    Words thrown like a familiar presence

  19. Tell Me What To Do

    Tell Me What To Do

  20. 무심했던 아픈 말

    The careless, painful words

  21. 깊은 상처를 남긴 날

    The day that left a deep scar

  22. 내가 여전히 바보란 사실만

    The only fact that I’m still a fool

  23. 깨닫게 되는 말

    Words that make me realize

  24. 지울 수만 있다면

    If only I could erase it all

  25. 그렇게만 된다면

    If that could only be the way

  26. 내가 먼저 다가가

    I'll step forward first

  27. 막다른 길 끝에서

    At the dead-end of the road

  28. 흘린 눈물에 다 젖어버린

    Drenched in the tears I’ve shed

  29. 두 볼을 닦아주고 물어볼래

    I’ll wipe my cheeks and ask you

  30. Tell Me What To Do

    Tell Me What To Do

  31. 먼저 말해주길 바래

    I hope you'll tell me first

  32. Tell Me What To Do

    Tell Me What To Do

  33. Don't cry no more

    Don't cry no more

  34. Tell Me What To Do

    Tell Me What To Do

  35. 너의 마음이 나를 본다면

    If your heart could see me

  36. Tell Me What To Do

    Tell Me What To Do

  37. Don't cry no more

    Don't cry no more

  38. 당연하게만 여겼던 네 자리

    The place you used to be, I took for granted

  39. 네가 없다는 그 상상만으로도

    Just the thought of you not being here

  40. 견디기 싫어져 세상은 무너져 다

    I can't bear it anymore, the world is falling apart

  41. Am I the one for you

    Am I the one for you

  42. 넌 언제쯤 예전에 나와 견제 중

    When will you stop holding back from the past with me

  43. 네가 많이 변했다고 말하는

    You say I've changed a lot,

  44. 내가 가장 많이 변했지

    But it's really me who's changed the most.

  45. The one for me

    The one for me,

  46. 난 모르지만

    I don't know, but

  47. 그 약속을 계속 조르지 우리

    We keep begging for that promise.

  48. 시간은 계속 머물지만

    Time keeps standing still,

  49. 우리 시간은 계속 허물지

    Yet our time keeps breaking down.

  50. 그 미소가 내게 와 더 환하게

    That smile comes to me, shining brighter,

  51. 차갑던 손은 더 따듯하게

    Those cold hands become warmer,

  52. 외롭던 두 개 영혼이 만나

    Two lonely souls meet.

  53. Not lonely lonely lonely lonely

    Not lonely lonely lonely lonely

  54. 다시 널 들여다볼게

    I'll look into you again

  55. 네 숨을 귀에 담을게

    I'll capture your breath in my ear

  56. 우리만 빼고 모든 것이 다 변해가도

    Even if everything changes except for us

  57. 내가 먼저 다가가

    I'll be the one to step forward

  58. 막다른 길 끝에서

    At the end of this dead-end road

  59. Tell Me What To Do

    Tell Me What To Do

  60. 흘린 눈물에 다 젖어버린

    Soaked in the tears I've shed

  61. 두 볼을 닦아주고 물어볼래

    I'll wipe your cheeks and ask you

  62. Tell Me What To Do

    Tell Me What To Do

  63. 먼저 말해주길 바래

    I hope you'll tell me first

  64. Tell Me What To Do

    Tell Me What To Do

  65. Don't cry no more

    Don't cry no more

  66. Tell Me What To Do

    Tell Me What To Do

  67. 너의 마음이 나를 본다면

    If your heart sees me

  68. Tell Me What To Do

    Tell Me What To Do

  69. Don't cry no more

    Don't cry no more

  70. Tell Me What To Do

    Tell Me What To Do

  71. Tell Me What To Do
