Lyricist is the title track of Heize's sixth E.P of the same name.
[Verse 1]
천사와 악마가 내 손끝에
cheonsawa akmaga nae sonkkeute
An angel and a demon are on my fingertips
웃어도 울어도 가사를 적네
Useodo ureodo gasareul jeokne
Making me write lyrics, whether I'm smiling or crying
종이가 다 젖어도
Jongiga da jeojeodo
Even when the paper gets all wet
나는 멈추지 못해
Naneun meomchuji moshae
I can't stop
때론 슬픔도 과장해 적었네
Ttaeron seulpeumdo gwajanghae jeogeossne
Sometimes, I exaggerate my sadness when I write
[Chorus]
하필 작사가가 돼
Hapil jaksagaga dwae
Why did I become a lyricist
난 널 얘기해야 해
Nan neol yaegihaeya hae
Making myself talk about you?
가끔은 나보다 아픈 내가 돼
Gakkeumeun naboda apeun naega dwae
Sometimes, I become more pained than I am
귀를 막아야만 해
Gwireul magayaman hae
So I have to cover my ears
내 노래가 들릴 때엔
Nae noraega deullil ttaeen
When you hear my song
이기적인 내 욕심을 용서해
Igijeogin nae yoksimeul yongseohae
Please forgive my selfish greed
[Verse 2]
난 내 글 안에선
Nan nae geul aneseon
I can't protect you
널 지켜주지 못해
Neol jikyeojuji moshae
From my words
어떨 땐 생각해
Eotteol ttaen saenggakhae
Sometimes I think
난 저주를 받은 듯해
Nan jeojureul badeun deushae
That I'm cursed
들려주고 싶지 않아도
Deullyeojugo sipji anhado
I don't want you to hear this
써야만 돼 메모해야만 돼
Sseoyaman dwae memohaeyaman dwae
But I have to write, I have to memo
넌 원하지 않는데도
Neon wonhaji anhneundedo
Even if you don't want it
sociopath처럼 알면서도 계속
Sociopath cheoreom almyeonseodo gyesok
Like a sociopath, I know but I keep doing it
진심과는 달리 그댄 멀어지겠죠
Jinsimgwaneun dalli geudaen meoreojigessjyo
So I'm sure you'll get farther away though you don't mean it
비극적 결말의 주인공이 된다고 해도
Bigeukjeok gyeolmarui juingongi doendago haedo
But even if we become stars of a tragedy
괜찮아
Gwaenchanha
It's alright
누군가는 위로를 받을 거야
Nugunganeun wiroreul badeul geoya
Cuz it'll comfort someone out there
[Chorus]
하필 작사가가 돼
Hapil jaksagaga dwae
Why did I become a lyricist
난 널 얘기해야 해
Nan neol yaegihaeya hae
Making myself talk about you?
가끔은 나보다 아픈 내가 돼
Gakkeumeun naboda apeun naega dwae
Sometimes, I become more pained than I am
귀를 막아야만 해
Gwireul magayaman hae
So I have to cover my ears
내 노래가 들릴 때엔
Nae noraega deullil ttaeen
When you hear my song
이기적인 내 욕심을 용서해
Igijeogin nae yoksimeul yongseohae
Please forgive my selfish greed
[Bridge]
절대 내 입장을 넌 모르지
Jeoldae nae ipjangeul neon moreuji
You'll never know what I'm going through
솔직해야만 해 온전히
Soljikhaeyaman hae onjeonhi
I have to be completely honest
Photograph, film 같이
Photograph, film gati
Like a photograph, film
Somebody tell me how to quit
절대 내 입장을 넌 모르지
Jeoldae nae ipjangeul neon moreuji
You'll never know what I'm going through
솔직해야만 해 온전히
Soljikhaeyaman hae onjeonhi
I have to be completely honest
Photograph, film 같이
Photograph, film gati
Like a photograph, film
[Chorus]
하필 작사가가 돼

난 널 얘기해야 해
Nan neol yaegihaeya hae

가끔은 나보다 아픈 내가 돼
Gakkeumeun naboda apeun naega dwae
Sometimes, I become more pained than I am

Nae noraega deullil ttaeen
