내가 이래 [naega ilae] [English translation]

It’s been a while

It’s been like five years, I’ve been okay

How have you been? You look different, time is cruel

Sorry I couldn’t keep in touch, that’s how I am

That’s how I am

It’s so weird

That we’re sitting across each other, drinking

I’m happy that it’s not just anyone but it’s you

This feels like destiny

I pray that we can see each other often now

Now I’m listening to you worrying over cup size

You’re even throwing some dirty jokes at me

It feels new

It feels like you’ve become an adult now

I see you’re getting prettier, I’m getting strange feelings

That’s natural for a guy right?

And as a guy, I wanna be with you tonight

Is that too much and too soon?

You answer, “no”

If I have one wish, it’s that you’re wishing for this as well

It’s been a while

It’s been like five years, I’ve been okay

How have you been? You look different, time is cruel

Sorry I couldn’t keep in touch, that’s how I am

That’s how I am

As if we’ve seen each other ever day, it’s familiar

And you wanted it to be deeper

The rain is falling harder as time goes by

You used to love me and I can’t focus right now

So I just stared at the ceiling

I’m not a smoker but I wanted to smoke

I thought this night would be short

But when I saw my watch, it was only 3am

At 3am, I faced another me

You casually threw out the word “responsibility”

I started to feel anxious and frustrated

Of course you didn’t directly say anything

But I just wanted to escape

I dryly said, let’s meet up again soon

Then like crappy music, you suddenly said

“Why are you being so cold?”

Yes, yes, I’m sorry, that’s how I am

It’s been a while

It’s been like five years, I’ve been okay

How have you been? You look different, time is cruel

Sorry I couldn’t keep in touch, that’s how I am

That’s how I am

My phone is ringing

Without knowing, I frowned

It was a number I didn’t save

But I knew it was you so I’ll keep it short

I ignored you three times

And the phone rang for the fourth time

You don’t exist in my priorities

My emotions and rationale are already distinguished

You’re too annoying, so annoying

I don’t wanna deal with you

You’re no help to my life, stop calling

Stop this here, stop acting like you need sympathy

On the phone, words that I never thought you’d say

Were leaving your mouth as you sobbed hard

I don’t know if I should be doing this

But I tried so hard to keep it in

Because I kept wanting to laugh

It’s been a while

I’ve been okay

Time is cruel

That’s how I am

I’m holding onto that word

Without knowing anything, you answer again with a smile

This night feels especially short
