    II. Lyrics

    III. Korean

    [Verse 1]

    정적은 terrible

    숨 쉬는 것은 tragical

    끝나지 않는 지옥 같은 매일

    도망쳐 봐도 다시 너 없는 내일

    몇 번이나 너로 되돌아가

    뒤바뀐 night

    너에겐 end 내겐 and

    이어지는 얘기


    [Pre-Chorus]

    차라리 꿈이길 바래

    사라지지 않는 네 mirage

    무너져 낮과 밤 경계

    갇혀서 온종일 헤매

    아무리 애써도 안 돼

    지울수록 패이는 네 trace

    새겨져 더 깊은 곳에

    내가 널 떠날 수 없게


    [Chorus]

    Truth be told

    더 견딜 수가 없어 한 걸음도

    나아갈 수 없어 내게 말해 줘

    How can you forget it?


    [Verse 2]

    갈수록 깊이

    내 안으로 driveway

    어지럽게

    뒤섞여 있지 너의 모든 게

    생각해 그날

    우린 분명 바꿀 수 있었는데

    수없이 놓친 chance

    영원히 반복해

    떠올라 매 순간

    눈 뜨면 선명한 기억

    되감아 지난 시간 위를 걸어

    아침이 오면 사라질 환상

    이제야 현실로 끌어당겨

    매일 밤 더 이상 세긴 useless

    다른 건 don't need it

    익숙해지질 않지

    내게 알려 줘 that way


    [Pre-Chorus]

    차라리 꿈이길 바래

    옅어지지 않는 네 mirage

    어떤 게 현실인 건데

    아직 온종일 헤매

    저 멀리 밀어냈는데

    파도처럼 돌아와 내게

    젖어 가 또 어느 틈에

    마르지 않는 건 또 왜


    [Chorus]

    Truth be told

    더 막막해져만 가 한순간도

    벗어날 수 없어 내게 말해 줘

    How can you forget it?

    Truth be told

    더 이상 자신 없어 난 너 말곤

    답을 모르겠어 내게 말해 줘

    How can you forget it?


    [Outro]

    Truth be told, truth be told

    IIIII. English

    [Verse 1]

    Silence is terrible

    Breathing is tragical

    Every day feels like never-ending hell

    Even if I try to escape, tomorrow without you comes again

    Over and over, I return to you

    A reversed night

    For you, it's the end, but for me, it's "and"

    A continuing story


    [Pre-Chorus]

    I wish it were a dream

    Your mirage that doesn’t disappear

    The boundary between day and night collapses

    I’m trapped and wander all day

    No matter how hard I try, it doesn’t work

    The more I try to erase, the deeper your trace becomes

    It gets carved deeper inside

    So that I can never leave you


    [Chorus]

    Truth be told

    I can't bear it any longer, not even a step

    I can't move forward, tell me

    How can you forget it?


    [Verse 2]

    I’m sinking deeper

    Into my own driveway

    Everything about you

    Is mixed up and dizzy inside me

    I think of that day

    We could have surely changed it

    The countless chances we missed

    Forever repeating

    It comes to mind every moment

    When I open my eyes, the memories are clear

    I walk over the time we've rewound

    A fantasy that will disappear when morning comes

    Finally, it pulls me back to reality

    Counting every night is useless now

    I don’t need anything else

    I never get used to it

    Show me that way


    [Pre-Chorus]

    I wish it were a dream

    Your mirage that doesn’t fade

    Which one is reality?

    I still wander all day

    Even though I pushed it far away

    It returns to me like a wave

    Soaking me again at some point

    Why does it never dry out?


    [Chorus]

    Truth be told

    It just gets more overwhelming, not even for a moment

    Can I escape, tell me

    How can you forget it?

    Truth be told

    I don’t have any more confidence, except for you

    I don’t know the answer, tell me

    How can you forget it?


    [Outro]

    Truth be told, truth be told
