I block out the noise and listen to you, closing my eyes and picturing you. You’re slipping away, you’re becoming a memory I can’t even grasp.

I’m stuck here, I’m stuck here, the memories of our love are playing with me.

Once more, just one more time, I can’t believe it’s ending like this. How can we let go of all the promises we made?

I hold my breath and listen to you, clenching my fists and trying to hold onto you. You’re slipping away, you’re becoming a memory I can’t even hold onto anymore.

Even if it hurts, even if I’m broken, I need you to live. Life without you feels like death to me. I can’t move forward or backward, what should I do?
meo-mun-da
I’m stuck.
jeo-mun-da (ni-ga tteo-nan geu nal-bu-teo nan)

I’m sinking (since the day you left), I’m sinking (since the day you abandoned me), I’ve been slowly falling apart since you left.
