[G-Dragon] Letting you go... (can somebody...)
Letting you go... (please somebody...)
No I got this, yeah

Steady thinkin' 'bout this thing called love
It got me shaken up
([Seungri] Please tell me there's a way)
And it got my head just spinnin' round round round round
([Seungri] Please tell me there's a way)
Don't wanna take a fall
It's best that I break it all
It's gonna be better for you to move on
([Seungri] Please tell me there's a way)
And my heart be breakin' breakin'
All apart remakin' makin'
How can I recover it all

[Taeyang] Girl I swear kimi no koto wo ichibyou demo
Kanashimasenai yakusoku
Mamoru tame ni wa mo moukoreshika
Erabu michi wa nai kara

[Daesung] Baby aishiteru dake kizutsuketeshimau
And I've got nothing, nothing to say

Uhuuuh~~
[All] Tell me goodbye, oh, tell me goodbye
[Seungri] Dakishimeta te wo
[All] Tell me goodbye, oh, tell me goodbye
[Daesung] Hanasou
Boku wo wasureru koto ni jiyuu ni naru nara Baby
[All] Tell me goodbye, oh, tell me goodbye

[Seungri] Girl you know kimi ga egao naku shiteku hodo
Boku wa jibun mo semeru yo
Nego semeru kotoba mo hikari sae mo
Nanimokamo miushinau

[Taeyang] Baby kono kuchibiru ga hanareta shunkanni
I'll never find better, better than you

[All] Tell me goodbye, oh, tell me goodbye
[Seungri] Dakishimeta te wo
[All] Tell me goodbye, oh, tell me goodbye
[Daesung] Hanasou
Soba ni iru koto dake ga yasashisa janai to Baby
[All] Tell me goodbye, oh, tell me goodbye

[T.O.P] And it's so, so
Sad it just ain't happenin'
Wish it could be better
Sorry to be scrappin'
But I just can't let ya
Be less than happy
How sad would that be
I couldn't live with myself seein' you lackin'
The things you deserve
Baby you was a part?
Best believe that it hurts
Deeply, that's word
I feel the achin' through my body
It just takes a bigger part of me
To be lettin' you go
I wish it weren't so...

[Daesung] Kimi no koe setsunaku fade away... away-ay-ay-ay
[Seungri] Kaze ni kakikesareteyuku stay... stay-ay-ay-ay

[Taeyang] Kore ijou wa I can't ([G-Dragon] take it), sono namida don't cry ([G-Dragon] for me)
[Daesung] Kimi no tame never look back again-a-a-a-ain... Ohh

[All] Tell me goodbye, oh, tell me goodbye
[Seungri] Dakishimeta te wo ([Daesung] Ohh)
[All] Tell me goodbye, oh, tell me goodbye

Soba ni iru koto dake ga yasashisa janai to Baby




[All] Tell me goodbye, tell me goodbye
[Daesung] Tell me goodbye

Can somebody...
Please somebody...
No, I got this...
Steady thinking about this thing called love
It got me shaken up
(Please tell me there's a way)
And it got my head just spinnin'
round-round-round
Don't wanna take a fall
It's best that I break it all
It's gonna be better for you to move on
(Please tell me there's a way)
And my heart be breakin' -breakin'
All apart remakin' remakin'
How can I recover it all

Girl I swear 君のことを1秒でも
悲しませない 約束
守るためにはもう… もうこれしか
選ぶ道は無いから

Baby 愛した分だけ 傷つけてしまう
And I got nothing nothing to say

Tell me goodbye
Oh tell me goodbye
抱きしめた手を
Tell me goodbye
Oh tell me goodbye
離そう
僕を忘れることで自由になるなら
Baby...
Tell me goodbye
Oh tell me goodbye

Girl you know 君が笑顔 失くしていく程
僕は自分を責めるよ
慰める言葉も 光さえも
何もかも見失う

Baby この唇が離れた瞬間に
I'll never find better better than you

Tell me goodbye
Oh tell me goodbye
抱きしめた手を
Tell me goodbye
Oh tell me goodbye
離そう
側にいることだけが 優しさじゃないと
Baby...
Tell me goodbye
Oh tell me goodbye

And it's so, so
Sad it just aint happenin'
Wish it could be better
Sorry to scrappin'
But I just can't let ya
Be less than happy
How sad would that be
I couldn't live with myself seein' you lackin'
The things you deserve
Baby you be superb
Best believe that it hurts
Deeply that's word, word
I feel the achin' through my body
It just takes a big ol' part of me
To be lettin' you go
I wish it weren't so...

君の声 切なく Fade away
風にかき消されていく Stay
これ以上は I can't take it
その涙 Don't cry for me
君のため Never look back again

Tell me goodbye
Oh tell me goodbye
抱きしめた手を
Tell me goodbye
Oh tell me goodbye
離そう
側にいることだけが優しさじゃないと
Baby...
Tell me goodbye
Oh tell me goodbye

Tell me goodbye...

No kpop band is better than bigbang. Bigbang is always the best of all time.

@Tvang004

I agree

@tct115

thank you

Bts = big bang level

You think? Only their fans are the only one who said that. 😊😊😊

@miniminminimin6007

@@amymanalo4747 i mean bts has more awards, album sales, concert sales. And not that they only have popularity. Jungkook and Jin's vocal levels is no joke. RM has insane wordplay, rhyme and flow skills, but isnt as influential as GD. All of BTS members do produce their own songs. BTS went to the Grammys, won 2 BBMAs. Big Bang's music is historic, they were the first ones to create history, but the negative thing rises from Seungri, while BTS has very good teamwork, mentality, stability and strong bonds and barely any major scandals. Although BTS is slightly better than Big Bang in terms of acheivements, I made BTS just equal to Big Bang because Bigbang are the earlier ones.
