[Verse 1]
애써 괜찮은 척 웃고 있어도
Aesseo gwaenchaneun cheok utgo isseodo
Even though you force a smile, pretending to be fine
그 눈가엔 슬픔이 고였지 언제나
Geu nungaen seulpeumi goyeotji eonjena
Sadness is always gathered around your eyes
그대의 상처를
Geudaeui sangcheoreul
Because I understand your deep scars
누구보다 잘 알고 있어서
Nuguboda jal algo isseoseo
Better than anyone else in this world
어떤 말도 할 수 없어서 아파와
Eotteon maldo hal su eopseoseo apawa
It hurts so much because I cannot say a single word
이런 내 마음을 어떻게 해야 할까
Ireon nae maeumeul eotteoke haeya halkka
What should I do with these feelings of mine?

그댄 바람처럼
Geudaen baramcheoreom
Like a gentle wind
내 마음을 흐트러뜨리지만

You shake and stir my tranquil heart, but
어쩌면 나 아주 오랫동안
Eojjeomyeon na aju oraetdong-an
