[Chorus]

I wrote a letter to myself

서툴게도 써내리는 맘속

seotulgedo sseonaerineun mamsok

Clumsily writing down my feelings

더 깊이 눌러왔던 말

deo gipi nulleowassdeon mal

The words I’ve pushed down deep

그 어떤 말보다

geu eotteon malboda

More than any other words

널 잃지 않았으면 해

neol ilhji anhasseumyeon hae

I hope I don’t lose you

[Verse 1]

길 잃은 채 헤매던 매일

gil ilheun chae hemaedeon maeil

Lost and wandering every day

그늘진 마음 그 끝에

geuneuljin maeum geu kkeute

At the end of my shadowed heart

여전히 변치 않은 내가 있었어

yeojeonhi byeonchi anheun naega isseosseo

I still found the unchanged me

I could be good

I could be bad

어렵고 어리던 내게

eoryeopgo eorideon naege

To my struggling, younger self

그 아픔 위로 다시 널 위로하고 싶어

geu apeum wiro dasi neol wirohago sipeo

I want to comfort you again over that pain

[Pre-chorus]

끌어안은 상처 따윈

kkeureoaneun sangcheo ttawin

The scars I’ve embraced

It’s only hurting you

[Chorus]

I wrote a letter to myself

서툴게도 써내리는 맘속

seotulgedo sseonaerineun mamsok

Clumsily writing down my feelings

더 깊이 눌러왔던 말

deo gipi nulleowassdeon mal

The words I’ve pushed down deep

다 쏟아낸 순간

da ssodanaen sungan

At the moment I poured them out

선명해 Voices in my head

seonmyeonghae Voices in my head

The voices in my head became clear

[Post-chorus]

My head, my head, my head, my head

내가 날 울리던 모든 밤

naega nal ullideon modeun bam

All the nights I made myself cry

기억을 다르게 채워 가

gieogeul dareuge chaewo ga

All the nights I made myself cry

[Verse 2]

삼켜왔던 단어들로

samkyeowassdeon daneodeullo

With the words I’ve swallowed

솔직한 이야기를 적어

soljikhan iyagireul jeogeo

I write down my honest story

이제야 말하는 날 미워하지 마

ijeya malhaneun nal miwohaji ma

Now that I’m speaking, don’t hate me

멍든 마음과 흉터마저

meongdeun maeumgwa hyungteomajeo

Even the bruised heart and scars

어설픈 대로 내뱉어

eoseolpeun daero naebaeteo

I’ll express them clumsily

더이상 내게 숨길 필요 없잖아

deoisang naege sumgil piryo eopsjanha

There’s no need to hide from myself anymore

[Pre-chorus]

어색한 표현 따윈 버려

eosaekhan pyohyeon ttawin beoryeo

Throw away those awkward expressions

I’m done being used

[Chorus]

I wrote a letter to myself

Clumsily writing down my feelings

더 깊이 눌러왔던 말

I hope I don’t lose you

I wrote a letter to myself

또 잊었던 내 모습이 보여

tto ijeossdeon nae moseubi boyeo

Now I see the forgotten me

꼭 숨어있던 날 만나

Meeting the part of me that was hidden

제대로 마주 봐

Facing myself properly

I hear the voices in my head

[Post-chorus]

My head, my head, my head, my head

내가 날 울리던 모든 밤

All the nights I made myself cry

기억을 다르게 채워 가

Shout freely, oh

선명해 Voices in my head

seonmyeonghae Voices in my head

The voices in my head are clear
