Love, uh
Love, hmm-mmm
Love, hmm
Love is never like the movies, I get it
막이 내리고 끝이 난 듯 but it never ends
mak-i nae-ri-go kkeut-i nan deus but it never ends
거친 네 말투 네 더러운 침대 마치
geo-chin ne mal-tu ne deo-reo-un chim-dae ma-chi
그리워 나 한 듯이 생각나
geu-ri-wo na han deus-i saeng-gak-na
역한 담배 연기 같은 love
yeok-han dam-bae yeon-gi gat-eun love
태연하게 내뱉는 네가 미웠어
tae-yeon-ha-ge nae-baet-neun ne-ga mi-woss-eo
Love is like a pack of cigarettes, yeah, it kills me
But fuck that, I need you right now
Bittersweet, oh, love, every love is bittersweet
Bittersweet, oh, love, every love is bittersweet
Bittersweet, oh, love, yeah-eh
We hurt, we love
Bittersweet, oh, love, every love is bittersweet
Bittersweet, oh, love, every love is bittersweet
Bittersweet, oh, love, yeah-eh
We hurt, we love
Callin' me a bitch, I said that I'm proud of it
They say you crazy, 괜찮아 나만 이해하면 돼
They say you crazy, gwaen-chan-a na-man i-hae-ha-myeon dwae
착한 러브 스토리, I hate that 어차피
chak-han reo-beu seu-to-ri, I hate that eo-cha-pi
꺼져버릴 불씨, just puff on it
kkeo-jyeo-beo-ril bul-ssi, just puff on it
You're my hero, my cowboy, my John Wayne
Let's run like renegades, yeah, 아무도 우릴 모르게
Let's run like renegades, yeah, a-mu-do u-ril mo-reu-ge
Love is a beauty 밤하늘 위에 fireworks
Love is a beauty bam-ha-neul wi-e fireworks
So kiss me good when it still shines away
Bittersweet, oh, love, every love is bittersweet
Bittersweet, oh, love, every love is bittersweet
Bittersweet, oh, love, yeah-eh
We hurt, we love
Bittersweet, oh, love, every love is bittersweet
Bittersweet, oh, love, every love is bittersweet
Bittersweet, oh, love, yeah-eh
