II. Korean Lyrics
끝내 무너져버린
날 바라볼 때
네 맘은 어때? Yeah
깨진 조각상 같이
날카로운 끝에
맺혀진 real end, oh
나를 도려내는 모진 말들에
너만의 이유로 그 안에 가둬놓고
이리저리 재고 잘라낸 뒤에
돌아선 it's you
네 멋대로 만든 거짓들 속에
마음의 그림자 모두 다 외면한 채
회색 연기 속을 헤매던 내게
뭘 원해
사라져 멀리
고장나 버린
내 모습
Burn it down now
깊이 내 안에 박힌
네 흔적까지
남김없이
Burn it down now
겨우 이별이겠지
미련한 내게
처음부터 어긋났던 결론
아무리 아무리 생각해도
진심은 조금도 없을 테니
아마도 너에게 난
가벼운 자극일 뿐
나의 눈을 가린 너의 손길에
그 사소한 의문도 잊은 채로 (그대로, yeah)
모두 사랑이라 믿었던 내게
뭘 원해
So if you leave me
사라져 멀리
고장나 버린
내 모습
Burn it down now
깊이 내 안에 박힌 (Oh)
네 흔적까지
남김없이
Burn it down now
어리석게
이제야 보여
완벽히 다른 너와
또 내가, oh, oh
순진하게
너만 바라보던
그때의 나는 없어
네 손에 I am gone
남김없이
Burn it down now
남김없이
Burn it down now
III. English Lyrics
It finally collapsed
When you look at me
How do you feel? Yeah
Like a broken statue
Sharp tip
The real end has come true, oh
To the harsh words that cut me out
Locked in there for your own reasons
After stocking and cutting here and there
It's you who turned around
In the lies you made yourself
Ignoring all the shadows in my heart
Me wandering through gray smoke
What do you want?
So if you leave me
Disappear far away
It's broken
My appearance
Burn it down now
Deeply embedded within me
Even your traces
Without leaving anything behind
Burn it down now
It's probably just a farewell
To my foolish self
Conclusion that was wrong from the beginning
No matter how much I think about it
There won't be any sincerity
Maybe to you I
It's just a light stimulus
In your hand that covered my eyes
Forgetting even that trivial question
I believed that it was all love
What do you want?
So if you leave me
Disappear far away
It's broken
My appearance
Burn it down now
Deeply embedded within me
Even your traces
Without leaving anything behind
Burn it down now
Foolishly
I can finally see it now
You are completely different from me
Me again, oh, oh
So innocently
I was only looking at you
I'm not there then
In your hands, I am gone
Without leaving anything behind
Burn it down now
Without leaving anything behind
Burn it down now
