(Oh oh) hey girl
(Oh oh) I can't live without you
(Oh oh) I can't forget you
(Oh oh) gimme the light

(Gimme the light, gimme the light)
그녈 내게 돌려줘
(Gimme the light, gimme the light)
시간을 되돌려줘
너 떠나고 후회하고 있어
참 바보 같지 난 왜 이제서야

너무나 아픈데 널 볼 수 없어
미칠 것 같은데 왜 날 떠났어
날 숨을 쉴 수도 없고
앞을 볼 수도 없게
만들고 떠나가버리니 왜

널 믿지 못했던 내가 미워
널 지키지 못한 내가 싫어
너 없인 하루도 견딜 수 없는걸
널 볼 수 없는 난 난 죽어가는걸

(Gimme the light, gimme the light)
그녈 내게 돌려줘
(Gimme the light, gimme the light)
시간을 되돌려줘
너 떠나고 후회하고 있어
참 바보 같지 난 왜 이제서야

(Gimme the light, gimme the light)
그녈 내게 돌려줘
(Gimme the light, gimme the light)
시간을 되 돌려줘
어떡해야 널 찾을 수 있어
내게 대답해 줘 어떻게 하는지

괜찮을 거라고 믿었는데
아무렇지 않을 줄 알았는데
널 잃고서 난 어둠 속을 헤메네
오늘도 널 찾아 떠나간 널 찾아

널 믿지 못했던 내가 미워 (미워)
널 지키지 못한 내가 싫어 (싫어)
단 1분 1초도 견딜 수 없는걸
널 볼 수 없는 난 난 죽어가는걸

(Gimme the light, gimme the light)
그녈 내게 돌려줘
(Gimme the light, gimme the light)
시간을 되돌려줘
너 떠나고 후회하고 있어
참 바보 같지 난 왜 이제서야

(Gimme the light, gimme the light)
그녈 내게 돌려줘
(Gimme the light, gimme the light)
시간을 되돌려줘
어떡해야 널 찾을 수 있어
내게 대답해 줘 어떻게 하는지

떠나간 니가 미치게 날 따라 다녀
목을 조르는 것처럼 내 피를 말려
엇갈려 버린 우리인연
하루 종일 전화기만 바라보며
난 널 기다려 가슴 아퍼 이제 다 끝났어
라고 말을 해도 미련이 나를 잡어
널 지키지 못한 내가 미워 싫어
빌어 하늘에 널 돌려달라고 (고, 고) hey

(Gimme the light, gimme the light)
그녈 내게 돌려줘
(Gimme the light, gimme the light)
시간을 되돌려줘
너 떠나고 후회하고 있어
참 바보 같지 난 왜 이제서야

(Gimme the light, gimme the light)
그녈 내게 돌려줘
(Gimme the light, gimme the light)
시간을 되 돌려줘




어떡해야 널 찾을 수 있어
내게 대답해 줘 어떻게 하는지
