You try to erase their traces, but not knowing when you'll get better, time only passes in a blur. The song expresses the bitter pain that comes again despite trying hard to forget.

밤새 너를 또 채우다 보면 난
창문 너머로 아침이 오고

아직도 네가 하던 그 말투로
말하고 있는 내가 싫더라고
더 이상 애써봐도 의미 없겠지만

내게는 익숙지 않은 하루야
아무런 움직임 하나 없이
하루 끝에서 너를 꺼내 봐
무너져 버리는 나를 만나고
어떻게 네가 나한테 이러니

시계 초침 소리
겨우 잠든 나를 깨워
이른 새벽 거리는
바쁘게 움직이는 사람들뿐이야
나만 여기 멈춰 있어
네 탓을 해도
나만 초라해지는 건
달라지지가 난 않잖아

얼마나 더 많은 밤을 보내야만
아프지 않을 수가 있는 거냐고
아무리 애써봐도 의미 없겠지만

내게는 익숙지 않은 하루야
아무런 움직임 하나 없이
하루 끝에서 너를 꺼내 봐
무너져 버리는 나를 만나고
어떻게 네가 나한테 이러니

벼랑 끝 서 있는 듯이
한 걸음도 떼지를 못해
함께한 시간 속에서

내게는 아직도 그런 밤이야
이렇게 너를 미워하는 밤
하루 끝에서 너를 꺼내 봐
무너져 버리는 나를 만나고
애써도 변하는 건 아니지만

Filling the entire night with you again
The morning comes through the window

I hated myself talking
Still in the way you used to
It would be meaningless even if I tried not to anymore

It's a day that's not familiar to me
Without any movement
At the end of the day, I take you out
And am met with a collapsed me
How could you do this to me

Sounds of a clock ticking
It wakes me up when I barely slept
The early morning street
Only has people moving busily
Only I'm stopped here
Even if I blame you
Only I become pitiful
It doesn't make a difference

How many more nights do I have to spend
So that I won't hurt
No matter how much I try, it would be meaningless

It's a day that's not familiar to me
Without any movement
At the end of the day, I take you out
And am met with a collapsed me
How could you do this to me

Like standing on the edge of a cliff
I can't a step
In the time that we spent together

It's still a night like that for me
A night hating you like this
At the end of the day, I take you out
And am met with a collapsed me
It doesn't change even if I try
