[Bridge / Rap Verse]
다시 혼자인걸 알고 나면
Dasi honjaingeol algo namyeon
Once I realize again that I’m all alone
마치 기다리고 있던 덫처럼 problems
Machi gidarigo itdeon deotcheoreom problems
Problems snap shut like traps that were waiting for me
I know I know 짐을 덜고 싶지 않은 당신
I know I know jimeul deolgo sipji aneun dangsin
I know, I know you don’t want to share your burdens
그럼 난 말을 줄이며
Geureom nan mareul jurimyeo
So I speak less and hold back my words
하고 싶은 얘기를 뒤로 미루고
Hago sipeun yaegireul dwiro mirugo
Pushing aside the things I truly wanted to say
어느새인가 관심이 없어 보이며
Eoneusaeinga gwansimi eopseo boimyeo
Before I knew it, looking like I don’t even care
그냥 지나가는 행인1 행인2 행인3
Geunyang jinaganeun haengin-il haengin-i haengin-sam
Just like a random pedestrian 1, pedestrian 2, pedestrian 3 passing by
침대위로 누워버려 난
Chimdaewiro nuwobeoryeo nan
I just flop down on my bed
뭘 하고 있을까 넌 알고 있을까
Mwol hago isseulkka neon algo isseulkka
What could you be doing? Do you even know?
변했어 나의 밤 새벽 2:45
Byeonhaesseo naui bam saebyeok du-si sasi-o-bun
My nights have changed, now at 2:45 AM
전엔 지옥 같더니 이젠 설레는 마음

It used to feel like hell, but now my heart flutters with excitement
그 길로 뛰어나간 난
Geu gillo ttwieonagan nan
I dashed right out along that path
우리동네에서 제일 좋은 전망
Uridongne-eseo jeil joeun jeonmang
To the spot with the very best view in our neighborhood
그 밑을 내려다보며

Looking down below
저기 어딘가에 있겠지 하며
Jeogi eodingae itgetji hamyeo

I bam cheoeumeuro useotji
I smiled for the very first time tonight
