Lyrics, Romanization & English Translation

Verse 1

(Ba-baby, hold my hand now)

(Ba-baby, hold my hand now)

수많은 시행착오와 싸움, 가득히 쌓인 눈물 덮인 밤

su-man-eun si-haeng-chak-o-wa ssa-um, ga-deuk-hi ssat-in nun-mul deop-in bam

오늘이 마지막인 smile, 불붙은 날들같이

o-neul-i ma-ji-mak-in smile, bul-but-eun nal-deul-gat-i

I run to this end of story, 슬픈 ending은 아닐

I run to this end of story, seul-peun e-n-d-i-n-g-eun a-nil

마지막 장엔 분명 엄청날 거야, 반전이

ma-ji-mak jang-en bun-myeong eom-cheong-nal geo-ya, ban-jeon-i

기대감만 부풀다 터져, 떨어지면 어쩌지?

gi-dae-gam-man bu-pul-da teo-jyeo, tteol-eo-ji-myeon eo-jjeo-ji?

이 악몽 같은 불안이 눈뜨면 사라질 꿈이길

i ak-mong gat-eun bul-an-i nun-tteu-myeon sa-ra-jil kkum-i-gil

Chorus

Every time I see you cry, I feel like drowning in the dark

You said it's fine, but no, I'm not

'Cause all I want is you, not your tears

So, baby, hold my hand now

Whoa, whoa, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Baby, hold my hand now

Verse 3

Baby, hold my hand now

생각 뿌리가 깊이 내리고, 잊힌 기억의 기침

saeng-gak ppu-ri-ga gip-i nae-ri-go, it-hin gi-eok-ui gi-chim

세균의 증식처럼 나를 잠식하는 이 감정에 질식

se-gyun-ui jeung-sik-cheo-reom na-reul jam-sik-ha-neun i gam-jeong-e jil-sik

나한테 뭘 바라? 열심히 땀 흘린 과거는 감히 신도 부정 못 해

na-han-te mwol ba-ra? yeol-sim-hi ttam heul-rin gwa-geo-neun gam-hi sin-do bu-jeong mos hae

잠깐 나 떠난다 해도, 돌아와 난 예정된 대로
