You act so indifferent, like it’s nothing. You easily dismiss our love, letting it rise and fall. Because of me, you’ve already been hurt so much. So how can I accept this breakup?

Are you telling me to hurry up and say it? I can’t even turn the pages of the book I was trying to read. This love that just started is already meeting its end faster than memories can form. Even if you blame me for everything, I have nothing to say.

You say it would be better if you could forget. I can’t take this anymore. Love like a celebrity’s… it’s all like this.

My shattered heart (girl), when I loved you, my heart was shaken (girl). Now that we’re breaking up, my heart is breaking apart. If I could just break all the love I had for you.

It hurts so much, how can you live like this? (girl) Is it really the end if you leave like that? (oh~) You don’t know the pain you gave me, can’t you imagine me crying?
neo-mu a-a-a-a a-pa i-reo-ke hon-ja-ga doen nan..

It hurts so much, being left alone like this. Breaking up with you is easy.

(I hate you) (I miss you) Every night, I drown my day in soju. My heart is in pain, with nowhere left to go. All the memories we shared together.

Now, in the photos, every moment is buried. You leave like that, making my heart ache. Can’t you hear my heart screaming? If you tell me to die, I will; if you say live, I will.

Even my heart, I gave it all to you… Now expressions, spaces of our relationship, what kind of problems make you so hard and sad and weak?

Even if I do better than others, it’s only for that moment. After a few days, that emotion fades, leaving only a shadow in my heart. It’s easier than you think, leaving true love behind.

I watched alone… A story more precious than anything, like a sad movie… It’s my story.

You broke everything and left.

Look at my heart… I should have told you, I repeated it endlessly. “I’m sorry,” “I love you,” I kept saying it annoyingly. I should have told you, I repeated it endlessly.

Yeah… this is what it’s like to be someone like me.
