The familiar neighborhood alleyway,
The path where you always walked me home,
Today, only an awkward stillness
Drifts through the air.
What are you trying to say?
Your eyes are wavering so.
Why is it that a bad feeling is never wrong?
The moment you open your lips
Feels like it's in slow motion,
Binding me tight
So I can’t even run away.
The words that spilled from your mouth—
I could barely believe my ears.
The seasons we built together
Crumbled down in a single instant.
With that single phrase,"Let's break up,"
We became strangers who know each other far too well.
Because I know so clearly
With what kind of face you are trying to erase me,
And because you know so clearly
With what kind of heart I cannot hold onto you—
Knowing too well, we say nothing,
Just staring at one another.
Just by the sound of your breath,
I used to know where you hurt, or why you cried,
Just by looking into your eyes.
But now, that tender care
Has turned into an intrusion.
My feet won't move from this place
Where our coordinates have completely shifted.
The memories of our love
Couldn't all have been a lie,
Yet even a simple goodbye
Is no longer allowed for us.
With that single phrase,"Let's break up,"
We became strangers who know each other far too well.
Where did we start to go wrong?
Inside each other's tears,
We are fading into strangers.
Goodbye,
My most beloved
Person.
