겨우 아문 상처를
Barely healed wounds,
덧나도록 또 헤집고
I dig deeper and tear them open again,
아프길 반복해도
Even if it hurts again and again,
But this time, this time
너만큼은 다를 거란
I believe this will be different from you,
신기루를 닮은 바람과
Like a mirage, the wind whispers,
눈앞의 네게 기대고 싶어
I want to lean against you right in front of me,
This time, this time
날 지탱해 온 내 영혼을
I’ll give you my soul that has held me up,
네게 내주고
Handing it over to you.
허무히 난 또 무너졌지
I fell apart again in vain
더 휘청거릴 미련 혹은
The lingering regrets that might make me stagger
자존심 하나까지
Even my pride, I've left behind
남기질 않았으니
I’ve let go of everything
더 흘려낼 눈물 한 방울
Not a single drop of tear left to shed
없이 다 쏟았으니
I've poured it all out
I give you all for nothing
짧고 뜨거운 온기 뒤
Behind the brief and burning warmth
에일 듯이 몰아칠
It rushes in like a storm
시린 외로움을 알면서
Knowing the chilling loneliness all too well
But this time, this time
내민 네 손을 꼭 잡고
I held your outstretched hand tightly
깨어날 꿈이라도
Even if it's a dream that wakes us up
네 체온에 쉬고 싶었어
I wanted to rest in your warmth
This time, this time yeah
깊어진 널 향한 내 맘이
My heart for you has deepened
짓밟힌 채로
Yet it's trampled down
그렇게 재가 돼 버렸지
And just like that, it turned to ashes
더 휘청거릴 미련 혹은
More swaying regrets or
자존심 하나까지
Even my pride too
남기질 않았으니
I left nothing behind
더 흘려낼 눈물 한 방울
Not a single drop of tear to shed
없이 다 쏟았으니
I've poured it all out completely
I give you all for nothing
헛도는 시곗바늘
The hands of the clock go round in vain
조각난 기억의 틈
In the cracks of shattered memories
잃어버린 날들을
The days I've lost
Adios
텅 비어버린 내 두 눈에
In my empty eyes
남은 건 공허뿐인
All that's left is just void
나조차 지운 Ending
An ending even I've erased
더 흘려낼 눈물 한 방울
Not a single tear left to spill
없이 사랑했으니
Since I loved you without a clue
I give you all for nothing
너에게 다 주었으니
Because I’ve given you everything
