Hwasa “Good Goodbye” Lyrics
Hangul
나를 그냥 짓밟고 가
괜찮아 돌아보지 마
내가 아파봤자 너만 하겠니
이젠 너를 헤아려봐
날 위해 쉬던 그 숨은 잊고
저 위에 널 위해 just kill my ego
등 돌려 걸어가
You got it, you got it, yeah
안녕은 우릴 아프게 하지만 우아할 거야 (Oh-oh-oh)
나 땅을 치고 후회하도록 넌 크게 웃어줘
Goodby-y-ye
By-ye-ye, ya-ya-ye
By-ye-ye, ya-ya-ye (By-y-ye)
By-ye-ye, ya-ya-ye
By-ye-ye-ye-ye
후회하도록 goodby-y-ye
널 생각한 운율이야
비로소 느껴지잖아
눈물은 고이고 찬란하게 빛나
우린 좋은 안녕 중이야
고맙단 말 대신 전할게
Goodbye, good goodbye, yeah
안녕은 우릴 아프게 하지만 우아할 거야 (Oh-oh-oh)

세상이 나를 빤히 내려다봐도
내 편이 돼 줄 사람 하나 없어도
Don’t worry, it’s okay
난 내 곁에 있을게
I’ll be on my side instead of you
안녕은 나를 아프게 하지만 울어볼 거야 (Oh-oh-oh)
땅을 치고 후회해도 좋아 우리 이렇게

Translation
Walk over me, walk away
It’s fine, don’t look back my way
This pain I feel, yours run deeper
So now I’ll try to understand you
The way you lived and breathed for me, let go
I’ll rise above for you and just kill my ego
Turn your back and walk away
You got it, you got it, yeah
Goodbye will hurt us but we’ll keep it beautiful (Oh-oh-oh)
Smile even brighter, so I’ll drown in my own regret
Goodby-y-ye

Drowning in regret goodby-y-ye
A song made thinking about you
At last, you feel it shining through
The tears are welling up, still finding light in you
We’re in a quiet fade of two
Instead of a thank you, it’s a
Goodbye, good goodbye, yeah
Goodbye will hurt us but we’ll keep it beautiful (Oh-oh-oh)
Smile even brighter, so I’ll drown in my own regret

Even as the whole world is looking down on me
Even if there is no one on my side, next to me
Don’t worry, it’s okay
I’ll stay right here with me
I’ll be on my side instead of you
Goodbye will hurt me, but I’ll let the teardrops fall
Even if I break in regret, I’ve loved us after all
