Baby DONT Cry “Bittersweet” Lyrics

Hangul

Yeah, it crossed my mind
지켜내야 돼
너무 가까워지고 싶은데
너무 가까워져서는 안 돼

Then I close my eyes
있어봐, my heart
자꾸 멋대로 앞서 가지 마
헛된 기대로 날 망치지 마

이렇게 막 웃어버리자
들키기 싫은 마음이 찾아오면

Cuz it’s all coming back like a déjà vu
나는 이 게임의 엔딩을 기억하거든
Bittersweet memories
내게 있다가 사라진 모든 것
다신 그만큼 아프고 싶진 않거든
Bittersweet memories

Badadada Bittersweet
Badadada Bittersweet
All these Bittersweet memories

내가 제일 좋아하던 모든 것들
늘 영원할 수 없단 걸 알았을 때
My heart broke into pieces, fell apart
First love, BFF, turned into a scar

Oh Eventually
Oh I learned myself
Oh I can’t forget that night

But I’m not living in all that déjà vu
나는 이 게임의 엔딩을 기억하거든
Bittersweet memories
내게 있다가 사라진 모든 것
다시 채워진 그보다 많은 것들을
Bittersweet memories

한때는 내 전부였던 것들
날 떠날 리 없을 것 같아도 떠나가던
영원한 건 없다고
다이어리에 쓰면서
아마 그때쯤 처음으로
외로움을 난 알아버렸어

Cuz it’s all coming back like a déjà vu
나는 이 게임의 엔딩을 기억하거든
Bittersweet memories
내게 있다가 사라진 모든 것
다신 그만큼 아프고 싶진 않거든
Bittersweet memories

Badadada Bittersweet
Badadada Bittersweet
All these Bittersweet memories

Romanized

Yeah, it crossed my mind
jikyeonaeya dwae
neomu gakkawojigo sipeunde
neomu gakkawojyeoseoneun an dwae

Then I close my eyes
isseobwa, my heart

Cuz it’s all coming back like a déjà vu

My heart broke into pieces, fell apart
First love, BFF, turned into a scar

Oh Eventually

Oh I can’t forget that night

Translation

Yeah, it crossed my mind
I have to protect this
I want to get so close to you
But I shouldn’t get too close

Then I close my eyes
Hold on, my heart
Stop getting ahead of yourself
Don’t ruin me with these hollow expectations

Let’s just laugh it off like this
Whenever that feeling I want to hide comes looking for me

Cuz it’s all coming back like a déjà vu
Because I remember the ending to this game
Bittersweet memories
Everything that was mine, then vanished
I don’t want to hurt that much ever again
Bittersweet memories

Badadada Bittersweet
Badadada Bittersweet
All these Bittersweet memories

All the things I loved the most
When I realized they couldn’t last forever
My heart broke into pieces, fell apart
First love, BFF, turned into a scar

Oh Eventually
Oh I learned myself
Oh I can’t forget that night

But I’m not living in all that déjà vu
Because I remember the ending to this game
Bittersweet memories
Everything that was mine, then vanished
But also the many things that have filled me up since then
Bittersweet memories

Things that were once my everything
Even when it felt like they’d never leave, they walked away
“Nothing lasts forever”
Writing that in my diary—
Maybe that was the exact moment
I first truly understood what loneliness is

Cuz it’s all coming back like a déjà vu
Because I remember the ending to this game
Bittersweet memories
Everything that was mine, then vanished
I don’t want to hurt that much ever again
Bittersweet memories

Badadada Bittersweet
Badadada Bittersweet
All these Bittersweet memories
