[Pre-Chorus: Riwoo]
From your pouty face, to those silent lips
[Verse 1: Taesan, Leehan]
I memorized lines over and over
있잖아 말이야
Just trying to make you smile once
괜찮지 않은 얘기를 하려 해
I stayed up every night like it's the end
아마 널 울릴지도 몰라
우리 헤어져 왠지 넌 눈치챈 아픈 말 (Every day and night)
[Chorus: Woonhak, Leehan, Riwoo, Sungho]
Mm, you know, mm, I mean
[Pre-Chorus: Riwoo]
No matter how many times I look back at myself
뾰로통한 표정부터 조용한 입술까지
Ask again and again
꼭 한번을 웃겨보려 대사를 달달 외고
It's not sad that I won't see you for long
내일은 없이
It doesn't hurt anymore
밤을 지새곤 했지
Mm, you know, mm, I mean
That thing people say "first love never lasts"
[Chorus: Woonhak, Myung Jaehyun, Riwoo, Sungho]
I wanted to avoid it, but I can't even deny it
Mm, 있잖아 나, mm, 있잖아 난
I don't love you anymore
몇 번을 날 되돌아 또 묻고 다시 물어봐도
오래 널 못 보는 게 슬프지 않고
[Verse 2: Myung Jaehyun]
아프지 않아 난
I know saying this now won't change anything
Mm, 있잖아 나, mm, 있잖아 난
I even memorized the taxi’s license plate you ride home
첫사랑은 안 된다고 피하고 싶던 그 말을
Even if you end up hating me, I won't try to stop you
넘기지도 못하고 벌써 난 너를
I did love you, that's for sure
사랑하지 않아
But our kisses don't make my heart race anymore
We keep hurting each other
[Verse 2: Myung Jaehyun, Taesan, Sungho]
With harsh words, again and again
이제 와 말하는 게 뭔 의미가 있겠냐만
I'm too tired to keep this up
찍어뒀어 너의 귀갓길 택시 번호판
Let's stop here (As time goes by)
나를 미워한다 해도 말리진 않겠다만
사랑한 건 분명 맞아
[Pre-Chorus: Leehan]
입맞춤이 더는 설레지 않고
We could fix everything before
모진 말로 서로 헐뜯기를 반복
With just two looks into each other's eyes
이 짓을 계속하기엔 지쳐
But day after day, week after week
좀 그만하자 (As time goes by)
Things stopped getting better
And in the end, I even made you cry
[Pre-Chorus: Leehan]
두 번의 눈 맞춤이면 풀리던 문제들이
[Chorus: Riwoo, Woonhak, Sungho, Leehan]
하루 늘어 하루 지나 이주를 넘어가고
Mm, you know, mm, I mean
그러다 결국
No matter how many times I look back at myself
너를 울려도 봤지
Ask again and again
It's not sad that I won't see you for long
[Chorus: Riwoo, Woonhak, Sungho, Leehan]
It doesn't hurt anymore
Mm, 있잖아 나, mm, 있잖아 난
Mm, you know, mm, I mean
몇 번을 날 되돌아 또 묻고 다시 물어봐도
That thing people say "first love never lasts"
오래 널 못 보는 게 슬프지 않고
I wanted to avoid it, but I can't even deny it
아프지 않아 난
I don't love you anymore
Mm, 있잖아 나, mm, 있잖아 난
첫사랑은 안 된다고 피하고 싶던 그 말을
넘기지도 못하고 벌써 난 너를
사랑하지 않아
