행복해. 그런 순간이 있었단 것 만으로
충분히 행복해
이해해. 모든 만남엔 끝도 있다는 것 쯤
충분히 이해해
So don`t lie to me. Please don't lie to me
That's whats hurting me..
So don`t lie to me. Please don't lie to me
That's whats hurting me.. Love`s no sympathy
행복해.. 행복해..
그런 기억 있단 것만으로도 나는 행복해

충분히 이해해

Their melodies are always so good!!

@hannahyalea

I know this song came first, but this almost seems like a more amicable version of their other song "The Ending"... I love them both though. In fact I love all Nell's songs ♡♡♡
Thank you so much for these subs ♡
