  You would know better

• 잠깐일 거야 돌아올 거야
  [jam·kkan·il / geo·ya / dol·a·ol / geo·ya]
  It’ll be a while, you’ll be back
• 그대도 나 아니면 안될 거라고
  [geu·dae·do / na / a·ni·myeon / an·doel / geo·la·go]
  You wouldn’t be without me either

  [al·ge / doel·geo·ya / u·li / sa·lang·i]
  You’ll find out, our love
• 그렇게 쉽게 끝낼 수 없다는 걸
  [geu·leoh·ge / swib·ge / kkeut·nael / su / eobs·da·neun / geol]
  that it can’t be done so easily
  *that it can’t finish so easily
• 그렇게 날 위로했지만
  [geu·leoh·ge / nal / wi·lo·haess·ji·man]
  Even though you so comforted me

• 이미 그대는 저 만큼 멀리
  [i·mi / geu·dae·neun / jeo / man·keum / meol·li]
  You are already that far away
• 날 등진 채 떠나고 있잖아
  [nal / deung·jin / chae / tteo·na·go / iss·janh·a]
  You’re leaving with your back
• 이젠 목마른 보고픔으로
  [i·jen / mog·ma·leun / bo·go·peum·eu·lo]
  Now with thirsty longing
• 기다릴게 다시 그대를
  [gi·da·lil·ge / da·si / geu·dae·leul]
  I will wait for you again

• 이제 나 없는 그대의 모습
  [i·je / na / eobs·neun / geu·dae·ui / mo·seub]
  Now your look without me
• 행복하길 기도 했었지만
  [haeng·bog·ha·gil / gi·do / haess·eoss·ji·man]
  I prayed for you to be happy
• 나의 마지막 기도는 항상
  [na·ui / ma·ji·mag / gi·do·neun / hang·sang]
  My last prayer always
• 그대 사랑 내가 되길
  [geu·dae / sa·lang / nae·ga / doe·gil]
  Your love is me
