Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
헤어지고 매달리는 건 no no
입버릇처럼 매일 하던 말
눈물 나게 공감하는 나
시간이 언젠가 다 해결해 주는 걸
말 안 해도 다 아는 걸
Baby I know I know
Girl I gave it my all
이렇게 끝날 줄 알았으면서
왜 이렇게 바보같이 나
오늘까지만 이렇게 나 baby
말 없이 술만 마실게 온종일
나 오늘까지만 baby 딱 오늘까지만
이렇게 그냥 하루 종일 슬픈 노래만
가만히 앉아 정신 나간 사람처럼
딱 오늘까지만 baby
나 오늘까지만 오늘까지만 girl
오늘까지만 baby oh oh, no baby
여자 때문에 이러는 거 나 처음인데
이러고 있는 내가 너무 싫은데
입버릇처럼 (입버릇처럼) 매일 하던 말
세상엔 여자 많다고
시간이 언젠가 다 해결해 주는 걸
다 알면서도 또 한심하게
바보처럼 또 나
You said 도망치지 말래서
But girl, I gave it my all
이렇게 끝날 줄 알았으면서
왜 이렇게 바보같이 나
오늘까지만 이렇게 나 baby
말 없이 술만 마실게 온종일
나 오늘까지만 (나 오늘까지만) baby 딱 오늘까지만
이렇게 그냥 하루 종일 슬픈 노래만
가만히 앉아 정신 나간 사람처럼
딱 오늘까지만 baby
나 오늘까지만 오늘까지만 girl
How could I do what I did to you
When you did all
You can do to me by my side
이렇게 끝날 줄 알았으면
오늘까지만 이렇게 나 baby
말 없이 술만 마실게 온종일
나 오늘까지만 baby 딱 오늘까지만
이렇게 그냥 하루 종일 슬픈 노래만
가만히 앉아 정신 나간 사람처럼
딱 오늘까지만 baby baby baby
나 오늘까지만 오늘까지만 girl

여자 때문에 우는 놈들 제일 한심해
Men who cry because of women are the most pathetic
헤어지고 매달리는 건 no no
No no to clinging after breaking up

Like a habit, the words I say every day
눈물 나게 공감하는 나
I sympathize to the point of shedding tears
시간이 언젠가 다 해결해 주는 걸
Time will eventually solve everything
말 안 해도 다 아는 걸
We both know without saying a word
Baby I know I know
Baby I know I know
You said 도망치지 말래서
You told me not to run away
Girl I gave it my all
Girl, I gave it my all
