멀어져만 가는 그대
You’re the only one
내가 사랑했던 것만큼
You’re the only one
아프고 아프지만 바보 같지만 Good bye
다시 널 못 본다 해도
You’re the only one
Only One
어색하게 마주앉아
사소한 얘기로 안부를 묻고
가끔 대화가 끊기는 순간에는
차가운 정적 우릴 얼게 만들어

지금 이 자리에서 우리는 남이 되겠지
어느 누군가는 눈물
흘리며 남겠지만
상처주지 않으려고 자꾸
애를 써가면서
눈치 보는 니 모습 싫어
So I’ll let you go

내사랑 이제는 안녕
You’re the only one
(You’re the only one)
이별하는 이순간에도
You’re the only one
아프고 아프지만 바보 같지만 Good bye
다시 널 못 본다 해도
You’re the only one
Only One

You’re the only one, Only One

갑작스런 나의 말에
왠지 모르게 넌 안심한듯해
어디서부터 우린 이렇게
잘못된 걸까
오래 전부터, 다른 곳만,
기대한 건 아닌지

너무 다른 시작과 끝의 그 날카로움이
내 심장을 찌르는 아픔은
왜 똑같은지
벅찬 가슴이 한 순간에
공허하게 무너져서
이런 내 모습 어떻게 일어설까

내사랑 이제는 안녕
You’re the only one (Only One)
이별하는 이순간에도
You’re the only one
아프고 아프지만 바보 같지만 Good bye
(Good bye)
다시 널 못 본다 해도
You’re the only one
(You’re the only one)

내 머릿속은 언제쯤
너를 지울까 (I will let you go)
하루 이틀 한달,
멀게는 아마 몇 년쯤
(My baby can’t forget)
그리고 언젠가 너의 기억 속에는
나란 사람은 더 이상 살지 않겠지 지우겠지
Only One Only One
You’re the only one, Only One

Only One Only One
You’re the only one, Only One

You’re only getting farther –
You’re the only one
As much as I loved you,
You’re the only one
It hurts and hurts and it’s foolish but good bye
Though I may never see you again,
You’re the only one
Only one
We awkwardly sit across each other,
Making small talk and asking what’s new
The moments when the conversation
Stop for a moment

The cold silence freezes us
We will become strangers
At this place right now
Someone will shed tears and be left alone but
I hate seeing you try not to scar me
And feel ill at ease
So I’ll let you go

My love, good bye now –
You’re the only one
(you’re the only one)
Even at the moment we break up,
You’re the only one
It hurts and hurts and it’s foolish but good bye
Though I may never see you again,
You’re the only one
Only One

You’re the only one, Only One

At my sudden works,
You seem to be relieved
For some reason
Where did we go wrong?
Did we hope for different places
Starting from long ago?

The sharpness of the vast difference of our start and end
And the pain that stabs my heart –
Why is it so similar?
My overwhelmed heart
Crumbles emptily in just one moment
How can I stand up again?

My love, good bye now –
You’re the only one (only one)
Even at the moment we break up,
You’re the only one
It hurts and hurts and it’s foolish but good bye
(Goodbye)
Though I may never see you again,
You’re the only one
You’re the only one

When will my head
Erase you? (I will let you go)
One day, two days, one month,
If long term then a few years
(My baby can’t forget)
And someday in your memories,
I won’t live in it, you will erase me
Only One Only One
You’re the only one, Only One
