mae-beon mi-chil-deut-han high dwi-en bae-teo-ya ha-neun price
i-geon dab-i eop-neun test mae-beon sok-deo-ra-do yes
ttak-han gam-jeong-ui no-ye
but by the end you say goodbye like a devil.
every dizzy high comes with a price to pay,
and this feels like a test with no right answer, one i still say yes to.
here i come kick in the door
ga-jang dok-han geol-lo jwo
ppeon-ha-di ppeon-han geu love
here i come, kicking in the door,
give me the strongest dose you’ve got,
this predictable love.
a-ra-seo mae-dal-lyeo byeo-rang kkeut-e
han-ma-di-myeon tto like he-beol-le hae
geu tta-tteut-han tteol-li-mi sae-ppal-gan seol-le-mi
i cling to the edge, knowing it’ll break me anyway.
one word from you and i’m helpless again,
that warm shiver, that dangerously red excitement.
you might not get in it
look at me look at you
nu-ga deo a-peul-kka?
you might not get in it.
look at me, look at you,
who’s going to hurt more?
du nu-ne pi-nun-mul heu-reu-ge doen-da-myeon
so sorry nu-ga? you are
na eo-tteok-hae na-yak-han nal gyeon-dil su eop-seo
if tears fall from both our eyes,
so sorry—who’s to blame? you are.
what do i do? i can’t handle myself when i’m this weak.
sa-rang-ui sum-tong-eul kkeu-neo-ya-ges-seo
let’s kill this love
let’s kill this love
i know i have to cut off love’s breath.
let’s kill this love,
let’s kill this love.
its so fire with him i go boo hoo
he said you look crazy
thank you baby
it burns so badly with him i go boo hoo.
he says i look crazy,
thank you, baby.
got me all messed up
his love is my favorite
but you plus me sadly can be dangerous
you’ve got me completely messed up.
his love is my favorite,
but you and me together are dangerous.
gyeol-gu-gen geo-jit-mal we lie
so what so what
ma-nya-ge nae-ga neol ji-u-ge
in the end we lie to ourselves.
so what, so what,
if i could erase you,
i’m not sorry
na eo-tteok-hae na-yak-han nal gyeon-dil su eop-seo
ae-sseo nun-mul-eul gam-chun chae
i’m not sorry.
what do i do? i can’t handle myself when i’m this weak,
hiding my tears again.
let’s kill this love
let’s kill this love
we all commit to love
let’s kill this love,
let’s kill this love.
we’re all making love
that kills you inside
we must kill this love
and that makes you cry.
we’re all making love
that kills you inside.
we have to kill this love.
gotta kill this love
before it kills you too
kill this love
gotta kill this love
gotta kill let’s kill this love
gotta kill this love,
gotta kill—let’s kill this love.
