Lyrics, Romanization & English Translation

내가 맞춰 나가는 세상이 커져 갈수록

nae-ga mat-chwo na-ga-neun se-sang-i keo-jyeo gal-su-rok

텅 빈 허전함을 느꼈었지만

teong bin heo-jeon-ham-eul neu-kkyeoss-eoss-ji-man

어떤 부분인지도 이런 모양일지도

eo-tteon bu-bun-in-ji-do i-reon mo-yang-il-ji-do

나조차 알지 못했었지만

na-jo-cha al-ji mos-haess-eoss-ji-man

흩어져버린 조각 맞추듯이

heut-eo-jyeo-beo-rin jo-gak mat-chu-deus-i

우리의 이야기를 맞춰가고

u-ri-ui i-ya-gi-reul mat-chwo-ga-go

어딘가 비어있던 내 맘속에 자리하고 있는 Piece

eo-din-ga bi-eo-iss-deon nae mam-sok-e ja-ri-ha-go iss-neun Piece

난 너란 걸 그냥 한 눈에 알아보았어

nan neo-ran geol geu-nyang han nun-e al-a-bo-ass-eo

넌 어느새 내 전부가 됐어

My missing puzzle piece

내게 흠이 있단 게, 또 완벽하지 않단 게

nae-ge heum-i iss-dan ge, tto wan-byeok-ha-ji an-dan ge

날 작아지게 만들었지만

nal jak-a-ji-ge man-deul-eoss-ji-man

어쩜 그 틈 사이에 서롤 채울 수 있게

eo-jjeom geu teum sa-i-e seo-rol chae-ul su iss-ge

비워져있던 걸지도 몰라

bi-wo-jyeo-iss-deon geol-ji-do mol-ra

안녕, 오랜만이야, 오래됐지

an-nyeong, o-raen-man-i-ya, o-rae-dwaess-ji

주머니에 넣고 다니던 이 작은 조각이

ju-meo-ni-e neot-go da-ni-deon i jak-eun jo-gak-i

더 진하게 보이게 예쁘게 함께 해줘

deo jin-ha-ge bo-i-ge ye-ppeu-ge ham-kke hae-jwo

널 만나서, 난 더 커다란 그림을 그려

neol man-na-seo, nan deo keo-da-ran geu-rim-eul geu-ryeo

You're my missing puzzle piece
