한번쯤 우연히 마주치길 바랬던건 사실야
추억이 남아 있잖아
하지만 이렇게 갑작스레 부딪히긴 싫어
아직은 만나선 안돼 눈빛 조차 닿아도 안돼
내맘에 숨겨왔던 눈물 아직 남아 있는데
이제서야 잊혀질 만큼 기억조차 희미할 만큼
저멀리 떠나온 나를 왜 하필 본거야
꿈이라 생각해 오늘은 잊어줘

헤어진 그날의 모습만 간직해줘
더 나은 얼굴로 널 보길 바랬어
너 없어도 좋은 내 모습을
두눈을 감아줘 못본척 지나쳐
어색한 미소는 내눈에 담기 싫어
이 같은 하늘에 우연은 많다고
그렇게 생각하며 이대로 가줘

여전히 변한건 하나 없고 예전 모습 그대로
마음만 아플 뿐이야
차갑게 돌아선 그맘까지 변함없을꺼야
나역시 변한건 없어 눈물맺힌 상처까지도
시간이 흐르면 괜찮아 위로 했잖아
꿈이라 생각해 오늘은 잊어줘
헤어진 그날의 모습만 간직해줘
더 나은 얼굴로 널 보길 바랬어
너 없어도 좋은 내 모습을
두눈을 감아줘 못본척 지나쳐
어색한 미소는 내눈에 담기 싫어
이 같은 하늘에 우연은 많다고
그렇게 생각하며 이대로

이젠 괜찮아 우린 죽는 날까지
다시는 볼수 없기를 바래

한번쯤 우연히 마주치길 바랬던건 사실야
I really hoped to run into you once by chance

추억이 남아 있잖아
Memories remain

하지만 이렇게 갑작스레 부딪히긴 싫어
But I don't want to suddenly collide like this

아직은 만나선 안돼 눈빛 조차 닿아도 안돼
We shouldn't meet yet, even our eyes shouldn't meet yet

내맘에 숨겨왔던 눈물 아직 남아 있는데
The tears I hid in my heart are still there

이제서야 잊혀질 만큼 기억조차 희미할 만큼
Now, even my memories are fading to the point of being forgotten

저멀리 떠나온 나를 왜 하필 본거야
Why did you have to see me when I was so far away?

꿈이라 생각해 오늘은 잊어줘
Think of it as a dream, forget it today

헤어진 그날의 모습만 간직해줘
Just keep the image of the day we broke up

더 나은 얼굴로 널 보길 바랬어
I hoped to see you with a better face
