Because
T.O.P & 승리 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's never been a time like this before
'cause when I'm not with you like is such a bore
Now if I feel lonely or I fool blue
I'll know it's because of you.

You always tell me things that I want to know
Yet when you went away you never told me 50
Now if ever there's a time I have nothing to do

I'll know it's because of you

I'll never see you again
And I know I'll regret it somehow
Can't say that I envy me I'm not exactly myself right now

I'll never see you again
And I know I'll regret it somehow
Can't say that I envy me I'm not exactly myself right now

There's never been a time like this before
'cause when I'm not with you life is such a bore

Now if I feel lonely or I feel blue
I'll know it's because of you.
