느껴줄게 heaven
괜히 애써 웃진
괜히 울고 있진 않니
뭐를 눈치 보니
뭔가 우릴 가로막니
말해 네 아픔을
알아줄 수 있는
느껴줄 수 있는 내게
데려가 줄게 heaven
느껴줄게 heaven
Baby oh baby oh
너의 감정 내겐 보여줘도 돼
Heaven
I bet you like that
I bet you like that
I bet you like
뿌리칠 수 없는
지옥 같은 세상 속에 (속에)
난 투명하게
선명하게
소중한 널 감싸줄게
구원해줄 내게
작은 손을 내게 줄래
데려가 줄게 heaven
느껴줄게 heaven
Baby oh baby oh
너의 감정 내겐 보여줘도 돼
Heaven
자유로운 구속인거야
내 안에서 마음껏 더 놀아봐
Play little girl, do it like that
이미 시작해 one way to me
끝도 없는 혼란이라면
내게 던져도 너는 괜찮아
Play little girl, do it like that
이미 시작해 one way to me
One way
