알 수 없는 이 끌림은 뭔데
내 시선을 가져가

우리 사인 아직 살짝 먼데
이런 내가 좀 어색해

사랑이라는 말은 설레지만
애매해지는 건 너무 싫어

내가 왜 너보다 더 초조해 지는건지
이런 모습은 내가 아닌데

That's bittersweet
말도 안돼
달콤하게 또 나도 모르게
널 상상하게 돼

That's bittersweet
흐려진 내 맘
여기 멈춰진 우리 사인 bittersweet

관심 없는 척 널 외면해도
알고 있는 거 다 알아

썸이라곤 살짝 부족한데
나만 고민하고 있나 봐

너라고 딱 말할 순 없지만
애매하게 끝내는 건 싫어

먼저 다가가 볼까
그냥 지나쳐볼까
이런 모습은 내가 아닌데

That's bittersweet
말도 안돼
달콤하게 또 나도 모르게
널 상상하게 돼

That's bittersweet
흐려진 내 맘
여기 멈춰진 우리 사인 bittersweet

Alright then
이젠 정해야 할 때
Want it
내가 뭘 원하는지

Alright then
이젠 정해야 할 때
Want it
내가 뭘 원하는지

이런 사이 될 줄 몰랐어 그 땐
그저 아프지 않기를 바랬어

아직 너의 맘
아직도 잘 모르겠다고

That's bittersweet
What should I do
이어질 듯 말 듯 우리 사이가
점점 벌어져가

That's bittersweet
달콤하지만
그만큼 아픈 우리 사인 bittersweet

Alright then
이젠 정해야 할 때
Want it
내가 뭘 원하는지

Alright then
이젠 정해야 할 때

Want it
내가 뭘 원하는지

What is this unknown attraction that takes my gaze?

내 시선을 가져가
It captures my sight

우리 사인 아직 살짝 먼데
Our sign is still a bit far

This me is a bit awkward

사랑이라는 말은 설레지만
The word love makes my heart flutter

애매해지는 건 너무 싫어
I hate becoming uncertain

내가 왜 너보다 더 초조해 지는건지
Why do I get more anxious than you?

This is not who I am

That's both sweet and bitter

말도 안돼
It's unbelievable

달콤하게 또 나도 모르게
Sweetly, yet without me knowing
