Lyrics, Romanization & English Translation

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

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
