[Verse 1]
(Soft piano intro, melancholic tone)
You were the sweetest pain of all
나의 가장 달콤한 상처였어 (You were my sweetest wound)
If I stayed, I would break myself
머물면 내가 부서지고 (If I stay, I shatter)
If I left, I would break you
떠나면 널 울게 할 테니까 (If I leave, I'd make you cry)

[Pre-Chorus]
(Strings enter slowly)
I wasn’t a coward enough to leave
떠날 만큼 비겁하지도
Nor brave enough to stay
머물 만큼 강하지도 못했어
In the mirror, I whispered to myself
거울 속 나에게 속삭였지

[Chorus]
(Dynamic swell, emotional power)
"Don't be afraid," I said
죽으면 다 괜찮아질 거야 (It will all be okay when you die)
"It passes when you fade away"
But look at me now
하지만 난 죽지 않았어 (But I didn't die)
I’m still breathing in this hell
여전히 숨을 쉬어 (I still breathe)

[Verse 2]
(Bass kicks in, R&B rhythm)
Stuck in a place where love can't reach
이젠 널 사랑할 수도 없고
Can't love you, can't love anyone else
너 아닌 누구도 담을 수 없는 곳
I’m frozen in between
차가운 공허 속에 갇혀버렸어 (Locked in cold emptiness)

[Bridge]
(Building intensity, high notes)
That was the difference between us, baby
넌 불이 뜨겁다는 걸 알았지만 (You knew that fire was hot)
I knew how to burn inside the flames
난 그 불속에서 타오르는 법을 알았지
Burning down to ash
우린 너무 달랐던 거야 (We were too different)

[Outro]
(Music fades to simple piano, whispered)
Saying "Let's be us" is easy
하지만 나랑 같이 '무(無)'가 될 수 있어? (But can you become 'nothing' with me?)
Will you turn to nothing with me?
나와 함께... (With me...)
Just nothing.
