jamkkan nuga siganeul jom meomchwobwa
someone please stop time for a moment
mwonga keuge eogeunnan geol nan neukkyeo
i feel something has gone terribly wrong
aesseo eosaekage useoboda
i try to smile awkwardly on purpose
ijen geureon naega ansseureowo
but now i just feel sorry for myself
anya gwaenchantago malhajiman
i say i’m fine but i’m not
DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITHOUT YOU
hachaneun igose hollo nama
LEFT ALONE in this worthless place
geuryeobon ne gieogeun blue
the memories of you i picture are BLUE
sarameun byeonhae
people change
wae naman irae
WHY AM I THE ONLY ONE LIKE THIS
oneulcheoreom yeppeun nare
on a beautiful day like today
eotteoke ireoke modeun ge beokchagiman hae
how can everything feel so overwhelming
DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITHOUT YOU (X3)
jamkkan watda tteonan saramdeulcheoreom
like people who came for a moment then left
geunyang urin anieotdeon geoji mwo
i guess we just weren’t meant to be
hoksirado jeonhwaga ullilkka bwa
afraid my phone might ring
gwaenhan gidael haneun naega miwo
i hate myself for hoping for nothing
jakku ttokttak georineun sigye soriga
the ticking of the clock
yunanhi geoseullyeo
feels unusually irritating
kkwaena meoljjeonghae boijiman
i seem fine on the outside
DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITHOUT YOU
ireon nae mam geoure deulkilkka bwa
afraid the mirror might reveal my heart
geuryeobon nae ipsureun blue
the lips i draw are blue
honjaga pyeonhae
being alone is easier
nan geunyang geurae
that’s just how i am
oneulcheoreom yeppeun nare
on a beautiful day like today
eotteoke ireoke modeun ge beokchagiman hae
how can everything feel so overwhelming
DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITHOUT YOU (X3)
DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITHOUT YOU
anya gwaenchatago malhajiman
i say i’m fine but i’m not
DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITHOUT YOU

This song captures the emptiness and confusion that follow a breakup. On the outside, the singer tries to smile and act normal, but inside, every moment feels heavy and overwhelming without the person they loved. Even on a beautiful day, everything feels off — the ticking of a clock suddenly sounds too loud, and the world feels unfamiliar and uncomfortable.
The lyrics show someone trying to move on but constantly being pulled back by the memories they shared. They hate that they still hope the phone might ring or that a part of them is waiting for something that won’t happen. The repeated line “Don’t know what to do without you” reflects a heart that has lost its direction, unsure how to handle the emptiness that remains.
