[Verse 1]

정말 넌 다 잊었더라

Jeongmal neon da ijoeotdeora

You really forgot everything

반갑게 날 보는 너의 얼굴 보니

Bangapge nal boneun neoui eolgul boni

When I see your welcoming face

그제야 어렴풋이 아파오더라

Geujeya eoryeompushi apaodeora

Then I started feeling vaguely hurt

새 살 차오르지 못한 상처가

Sae sal chaoreuji mothan sangcheoga

A wound that can't heal itself

[Pre-Chorus]

눈물은 흐르질 않더라

Nunmureun heureujil anteora

My tears wouldn't flow

이별이라 하는 게 대단치도 못해서

Ibyeorira haneun ge daedanchido mothaeseo

Breaking up wasn't even a big deal

이렇게 보잘것없어서

Ireoke bojalgeo seobseoseo

Because it's worthless

[Chorus]

좋은 이별이란 거,

Joheun ibyeoriran geo,

A pleasant goodbye

결국 세상엔 없는 일이라는 걸

Gyeolguk sesangen eomneun iriraneun geol

Ultimately there can be no such thing

알았다면 그때 차라리 다 울어둘 걸

Aratdamyeon geuttae charari da ureoldul geol

If I knew I would have cried it all out then

그때 이미 나라는 건 네겐 끝이었다는 건

Geuttae imi naraneun geon negen kkeuchieot daneun geon

By then you were done with me

나만 몰랐었던 이야기

Naman mollaesseotdeon iyagi

A story only I didn't know

[Verse 2]

사랑은 아니었더라

Sarangeun anieotdeora

It wasn't love

내 곁에 머물던 시간이었을 뿐

Nae gyeote meomuldeon shiganieosseul ppun

It was just time spent next to you

이제야 어렴풋이 알 것만 같아

Ijeya eoryeompushi al geotman gata

Now I think I know what it feels to be vaguely hurt

왜 넌 미안했어야만 했는지

Wae neon mianhaesseo yaman haenneunji

Why you had to be sorry?

[Pre-Chorus]

내가 너무 들떴었나 봐

Naega neomu deultteosseonna bwa

Maybe I was too excited

떠나는 순간마저 기대를 했었다니

Tteonaneun sunganmajeo gidaereul haesseotdani

You anticipated the moment you would leave

얼마나 우스웠던 거니

Eolmana ooseuwotdeon geoni

How amusing was it for you?
