Lyrics
어둠의 장막 / 내려앉은 거리에
두 그림자 / 살짝, 숨어드네
서로의 마음 / 홀리는 그 vibe
사랑이란 이름의 / poison is creeping in
（Verse 2）
그런가 그런가 / 내 맘 조종하는 마물
벗어나려 해도 / 더 깊이 빠져들어
매혹이라는 trap / 몸과 맘을 잠식해
Can’t escape / it’s taking over me
（Chorus）
사랑 안의 독, that’s a
Sweet and deadly trap
헤어 나올 수 없는 / this pain, you got me messed up
증오와 증오, love and hate
경계선 위를 걷는 나
빠져드는 이 사랑에,
What should I do?
What should I do?
（Verse 3）
서로를 빼앗고 / 결국 남는 건 상처
이런 게 사랑이라면 / 누가 먼저 무너질까
그, 그…
이 굴레를, 어떻게 끊어야 해?
Please, tell me now
Tell me how to break this chain
（Chorus (Repeat)）
사랑 안의 독, that’s a
Sweet and deadly trap
헤어 나올 수 없는 / this pain, you got me messed up
증오와 증오, love and hate
경계선 위를 걷는 나
빠져드는 이 사랑에,
What should I do?
What should I do?
（Bridge）
괴롭고 아파도 / 너를 놓을 수 없어
이 사랑이 독이라 해도 / I’m addicted to you
차라리 다 태워버리고 / 같이 타버릴래
If I go down / you go down with me
（Final Chorus）
사랑 안의 독, that’s a
Sweet and deadly trap
헤어 나올 수 없는 / this pain, you got me messed up
증오와 증오, love and hate
경계선 위를 걷는 나
빠져드는 이 사랑에,
What should I do?
What should I do?
（Outro）
사랑 안의 독 / 지울 수 없는 상처
그럼에도 불구하고 / I’ll keep loving you
This love is poison /
But it’s the only thing I need
