How can I

Words I shouldn’t have listened to

Just for one day

If only I had forgotten my phone

Words that cause me to be at a loss for words

Words that don’t care

About my feelings anyway

 

How could I forget you

Should I try to forget you

Couldn’t we go back to what it used to be

I was unable to say a single thing

During our last words to each other

 

When I told you that I loved you

You stopped and

My heart felt as if it would explode

But now, I’m the one who has stopped

As I do nothing but wait for your next words

 

How could I forget you

Should I try to forget you

Couldn’t we go back to what it used to be

Words that are painful, no matter how you look at them

Words saying we should end it all

 

If only I could stop it

If only I could erase it

If only I could go back

To the day we first met

 

How could I forget you

Should I try to forget you

Couldn’t we go back to what it used to be

I cover my mouth as tears stream down my face

To the words that are hard to believe

 

How could I forget you

Should I try to forget you

Couldn’t we go back to what it used to be

Because I still love you

Even in my dreams

They are words that are hard to believe

This MV is literally "when you play with Windows Movie Maker for the first time"

@popcornale6393

Lol rude, this was made in 2011 . It represent TVXQ comeback.... its beautiful for fans back then, like a beautiful treasure,

@TheReversingGuy

@Alexandra Heights SM was still able to make high-budget music videos back in the day, so there really is no excuse for this joke.

@popcornale6393

SM doesnt not really use high budget music videos, in fact* most of kpop videos are low budget they use technology to do most of their stuff

@TheReversingGuy

@Alexandra Heights well-done computer technology costs a lot, though, so their videos can still be considered high-budget in spite of them not being actual recordings.

@popcornale6393

i dont think so, they can save a lot of money by doing it that way
