9. At last 결국엔 (gyeol-guk-en)

At last, I have to leave again.
Light just began to shine in my heart. 
The flow of time is so heartless, 
I can't help but hang my head low.
Oh, I can't.

At last, I have to endure it again.
It already seems like there aren't many places to lean on.
With the cold look from people I don't know,
I can't help but hang my head low.
Oh, I can't.

If only the most precious things in the world
Stay by my side
I could devote all of myself to you.
Please just remember my prayers.

At last, even if I can't hold all of them,
Even if I can't understand the wilting flowers,
If I can give them the strength to get back up,
Then I would bow my head low.
I would.

If only the most precious things in the world
Stay by my side
I could devote all of myself to you.
Please just remember my prayers.

If only the things I love the most
Stay in my heart
I could devote all of myself to you.
Please just remember my prayers.
Please just remember my prayers.
Please just, my prayers.

8. Well, tonight 오늘 밤만큼은 (oneul-bam-mankeum-eun)

It's been a while.
I want to ask how you've been,
but for tonight, I'll let it slide.

In order for the long wait in the shadow
To now be remembered as yesterday,
Well, tonight,
I will hold you in my heart and pray.
I will carry the weight
of all the worries you cannot talk about.

Don't worry.
You're enough just the way you are now.

Tonight, I'll listen
To the stories about your rough times.

Forget the meaningless words of comfort

Tonight, 
I will hold you in my heart and pray.
I will carry the weight
of all the worries you cannot talk about.

Don't worry.
You're enough just the way you are now.

Your heart and mine
Come together in one place to shine brighter.
Even amongst endless suspicions
The sun slowly shines through.
There's an end to everything,
and I will be with you until that very end.

La lala lalala

7. Hear me out 들어봐 (deul-eo-bwa)

Lean in, hear me out.
Look up,
Don't be intimidated by this world.

I see it's been very hard for you.
Even though everything's tough
You can't say a word
because you hate to seem weak.

It's alright to take a break.
Your heart is the hardest thing to control.

Time disperses more quickly 
The more it flows
and it's scary, it's scary.
It's scary, that's why.

No matter how loudly you scream,
Nobody listens to you
And nothing understands
Your heart.
On nights like that.

I would embrace you,
although I'm still too small and full of scars
and I don't know this world yet.

I am confident
That I can love you
without hoping for anything from you,
as I work hard and learn more.

Don't worry,
For you're the prettiest every day I see you.

Your fragrance spreads and fills the world
Even when you're staying still.
So hold my hands, close your eyes,
and sleep tight.

No matter how loudly you scream,
Nobody listens to you
And nothing understands
Your heart.
On nights like that,

I think I should be there.
Stay still and not think a thing.
Whenever you call me,
I'll be right there by your side.

6. Trust in time 시간을 믿어봐 (si-gan-eul-mi-deo-bwa)

The reason why loneliness seems to be
hiding behind my smile,
Is because, perhaps, 
I'm afraid of being left on my own.

The reason why my back seems to be
a little more hunched that before,
Is because the sky 
Does not look all beautiful to me.

Even then, I try hard
Not to lose this smile
Because in a corner of my heart,
There is hope.

There will be times
When things don't go as you wish,
When you hurt despite what your heart says.

Whenever that happens, trust in time.
Soon, without us knowing, 
We would be getting better.

The reason why my heart
seems to be filled with more tears
Is because, perhaps,
It knows the pain of breakups.

Even then, I still carry on 
with this journey,
Because in a corner of my heart,
I still believe in the miracle called 'love'.

There will be times
When things don't go as you wish,
When you hurt despite what your heart says.

Whenever that happens, trust in time.
Soon, without us knowing, 
We would be getting better.

As we wish,
Everything will go back to normal.
We will be together again, as better versions of ourselves.

When that time comes,
Even this time now
Will be shining, without us knowing.

5. I should have 그냥 그때 (geu-nyang-geu-ddae)

I trusted you
but you left me.
I loved you
but you made me sad.

All that's left now is, once again,
For me to look at you on my own,
To struggle on my own
and to live on my own.

I should have, back then,
Not said "I love you" that often.
I should have, back then,
Not hugged you that much.
Then, perhaps, 
Would it be a little less harder for me now?

Even my hard work
Were all in vain.
Even your truthful heart
All seem like lies.

All that's left now is, once again,
For me to try to smile on my own
To understand [you] on my own
and to forget [you] on my own.

I should have, back then,
Said "I love you" more.
I should have, back then,
Hugged you more.
Then, perhaps, I will...
Forget you, but how could I?
How could I... How could I...
I guess I can't.

4. Bedtime prayers 어른으로 (Eo-reun-eu-ro)

When I was younger, I was fine with making a fool of myself
because I enjoyed making others laugh.

I was fine even when days were full of things I didn't like to do
as long as I had my friends.

From my earliest memory, my dad said
to give more than you have.
I was young and foolish, 
I wished for things in return whenever I shared anything.

The comfort that never came back to me
When I was struggling
Made me and adult, made me an adult.

"May only good things happen"
That used to be my wish, but now
I say "May nothing happen"
It's a little sad, and I missed it.

The innocent promises I've been keeping
have lost their value as time passed.

The smile that used to be real like that of a child
now only conceals the bitterness I try hard to hide.

My mother, who always seemed strong
Told me with a voice that now sounds a little tender.
As you grow up, you learn that success isn't everything.

The words that seemed so obvious, now hit me.
I guess now I've become an adult. Become an adult.

"May only good things happen"
That used to be my wish, but now
I say "May nothing happen"
It's a little sad, and I missed it.
I miss it, and it makes me lonely.

3. Take me back in time 그때로 돌아가 (geu-ddae-ro-dol-a-ka)

Take me back in time.
Leave behind the painful memories,
and look for the moments when we were once happy.

It was definitely love.
It wasn't a meaningless lie.
I loved you, and you said you loved me too.

It was a time when
The warmth in your hands and our breath
Was all I could ask for.

Take me back in time.
I'll look at you just enough 
for me to be able to forget you and let you go.
Take me back in time.
I didn't like you.
I didn't love you.
The lies I try tell myself.

You left just like that and
It's my job to erase the longing that's left for me.

Take me back in time.
I'll hug you just enough 
for me to be able to forget you and let you go.
Take me back in time.
I didn't like you.
I didn't love you.
The lies I try to tell myself.

Do you miss me too?
Do you dream of us
meeting once again in another world,
making a promise to be together forever?
Or is it just me again?

I love you.
I love you.
I love you, I still do.
I love you.

I love you.
Even though we might end the same way,
I would still meet you
And let you go again.
