August
데이먼스 이어 Damons year Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

우린 뭐였을까
잠깐 타다 꺼질
폭죽 같던 체온으로
밤새 떨었었지
너를 끌어안고 바라보다가 울었어

너의 취한 눈엔
사랑은 없단 걸 난 사실 알고 있었지만
나의 도망가는 발걸음마저
사랑이었다고

오 난 지금 편지를 쓰면서
나의 서툰 마음을 지워요




그댄 오늘 나를 지울까요
남은 것이 그저 상처뿐은 아니기를

Just a brief spark that faded


폭죽 같던 체온으로
With fever like fireworks

In your drunk eyes

Felt like love

Now, as I write this letter

I hope what's left isn't just pain
