The song "So Sick" by B.I has an emotional undertone of living one's life while dealing with the challenges that come along the way.

iKONIC B.I WITH YOU
After i saw this translation, i came back again to share this with you. this fetus hanbin, how can he write things like this? :o he's only 12 years old i think that time. lol
So Sick
Lyrics by B.I
I know you've probably erased me already
I close my eyes when I think of our memories
Your image remains in my two withered eyes
I overflow with tears thinking of you but I hold it in
Our love, the wind that comforts me
With that, don’t erase the remaining memories we have
There’s no chance you’ll come back, I wait like a fool
This fool named ‘love’ is difficult
Because of you I threw my pride away
But again, you coldly threw me away
Of this is love, I’ve lost care
Your name still lives in my memories
I tried to hang on but I couldn’t hold on to you
You don’t want to hear about it, the picture that I drew
I recently have more days crying because of you
Now, I should change everything—even the answering machine
July 15, our anniversary
I won’t walk the streets with my head down
I’ll also stop the sadness and the crying out other thoughts
When I hear sad music, why do I think of you?
My heart hurts at the sight of the smiling child on the streets
That smiling face looks just like yours
