I don't know, can't describe

You and I, 다시 엉망이 돼가

You and I, da-si eong-mang-i dwae-ga

Oh, 전쟁 같아 오늘 밤도

Oh, jeon-jaeng gat-a o-neul bam-do

굳어버린 눈빛 (why you actin' like that?)

gut-eo-beo-rin nun-bit (why you actin' like that?)

We feel like we've gone crazy (why you so aggressive?)

뱉어내지 서로에게 씻지 못할 날카로운 말

baet-eo-nae-ji seo-ro-e-ge ssis-ji mos-hal nal-ka-ro-un mal

(너의 눈물로) 눈을 가리지 이기심이

(neo-ui nun-mul-ro) nun-eul ga-ri-ji i-gi-sim-i

마치 사랑한 적 없단 듯이
