I think back to the moment I first saw you, and my heart felt like it was breaking. You’re too beautiful to erase, even if it feels cruel.
You are my angel, whisper softly
da-jeong-han sok-sa-gim-eun “I love you, everyday”

da-jeong-han sok-sa-gim-eun “I love you, everyday”

You are my angel, whisper softly. Your tender whispers say “I love you, everyday.” I pray that I never wake up from this lonely dream.

I’ve gotten used to being okay, always staying behind. Even if I’m just in the background, I’m happy like this. Tears fall even at your jokes, but I have to stay by your side with that cold face.

If I’m the man who can stay by you when you’re lonely or sad, I can love you like this forever, truly forever.
You are my angel, whisper softly

You are my angel, whisper softly. I’ve longed for your sweet smile all night. Memories of meaningless words that I couldn’t hear.

I’ve gotten used to being okay, always staying behind. Even if I just brush your fingertips, I’m happy like this. Tears fall even at your pranks, but I have to stay by your side as your most comfortable friend. Ohh~ by your side, by your side.

I know I shouldn’t think like this, but I know where I stand. I’ll erase you from my mind now.
