Lyrics
Intro
I said I’m fine, but I’m lying
아무렇지 않은 척해도 난 dying
Your name still moves under my skin
잊으려 해도 넌 deeper within
Verse 1
I stared at all our pictures twice
근데 마음속엔 still alive
너의 말투, 너의 웃음, your eyes
다 사라졌는데 왜 선명해, why?
I keep my phone face down at night
혹시 네가 올까 봐, I lose my mind
끝난 걸 알아, I know it’s done
근데 내 하루는 아직 너를 찾아 run
Pre-Chorus
못 놓아, 못 놓아, I’m still holding
널 지워도 다시 돌아오는 feeling
Tell me how to forget your voice
When every silence sounds like you
Chorus
I’m a mess, I’m a mess, 너 없인
숨을 쉬어도 무너지는 feeling
I can’t let go, I can’t forget
너의 기억에 아직 젖어 있어
I’m a mess, I’m a mess, still waiting
다 끝난 사랑을 붙잡고 fading
You’re gone, but you don’t leave my head
사랑이 끝나도 I’m not dead
Post-Chorus
Can’t let go, 못 놓아
Can’t forget, 못 지워
Round in my chest, round in my head
I’m a mess, I’m a mess again
Verse 2
네가 좋아하던 노랠 꺼도
방 안 공기는 still knows you
다른 길을 걸어도 결국
내 발끝은 너에게로 move
사람들은 말해, 시간 지나면
괜찮아진대, but I don’t know when
나는 아직 그날에 살아
네가 떠난 그 문 앞에 남아
Pre-Chorus
못 놓아, 못 놓아, I’m still falling
괜찮은 척할수록 더 crawling
Tell me how to erase your touch
When my whole body remembers us
[Chorus
I’m a mess, I’m a mess, 너 없인
숨을 쉬어도 무너지는 feeling
I can’t let go, I can’t forget
너의 기억에 아직 젖어 있어
I’m a mess, I’m a mess, still waiting
다 끝난 사랑을 붙잡고 fading
You’re gone, but you don’t leave my head
사랑이 끝나도 I’m not dead
Bridge
나도 날 데려가고 싶어
너 없는 내 안에서 out of this room
잊고 싶은데, I still choose you
아픈 줄 알면서도 I replay you
Don’t know how to be okay
네가 없는 내가 너무 낯설어
I’m not healing, I’m just quiet
끝난 사랑 속에 still hiding
Final Chorus
I’m a mess, I’m a mess, 너 없인
숨을 쉬어도 무너지는 feeling
I can’t let go, I can’t forget
너의 기억에 아직 젖어 있어
I’m a mess, I’m a mess, still waiting
다 끝난 사랑을 붙잡고 fading
You’re gone, but you don’t leave my head
사랑이 끝나도 난 여기 있어
Outro
Can’t let go, 못 놓아
Can’t forget, 못 지워
I’m a mess, I’m a mess again
