TXT “Good Boy Gone Bad” Lyrics

Hangul

영원이란 말 위에 못질해 관뚜껑을 덮어
넌 약해빠졌었던 날 완전히 바꿔놨어
난 네가 되고 싶어 종일 거울 앞에 서서
얼굴을 할퀴어, 심장을 삼켜

나를 버리던 너에게
꼬릴 흔들었던 내 past
I just killed me with all that stress
이젠 다 상관없어 난

부서진 기분은 왠지 나쁘지 않아
한심했던 날들보다
Watch watch gotta watch watch me yeah
(난 날 죽여 죽여놔)

다 내다 버려 good boys gone bad
다 버려 good boys gone bad
널 사랑했던 good boys gone bad
Now
(더 날 부숴 부숴놔)

내 가슴팍엔 흉터 gone bad
심장을 긋고 gone dead
네가 알던 that good boy’s gone bad
Now
(난 날 죽여 죽여놔)

Good boy gone bad
(Good boy gone bad, good boy gone bad
Good boy gone bad, good boy gone bad)
Good boy gone bad
(Good boy gone bad, good boy gone bad
Good boy gone bad, good boy gone bad)

네 안의 소년을 지워낸 다음
망가진 내 모습을 채워놔
난 마치 zombie처럼 dead alive
사랑의 무덤 위에 태어나

솔직히 더 맘에 드네
완전히 달라진 내 face
I just killed me with all that pain
이젠 다 상관없어 난

눈감은 절망의 밤은 왠지 달콤해
오히려 자유로워 난
Watch watch gotta watch watch me yeah
(난 날 죽여 죽여놔)

다 내다 버려 good boys gone bad
다 버려 good boys gone bad
널 사랑했던 good boys gone bad
Now
(더 날 부숴 부숴놔)

내 가슴팍엔 흉터 gone bad
심장을 긋고 gone dead
네가 알던 that good boy’s gone bad
Now
(난 날 죽여 죽여놔)

Good boy gone bad

네 자국을 뜯어낸 맘
너의 흔적들이 흘러나와
Love is a lie, I loved that lie
태워버려 burn it out

집어치워 love 개나 줘 forever
피 대신 흘러 monochrome diamonds
Killed it I killed it myself
곤두박질 부러진 날개로
추락해도 아프지 않아 anymore
I like being bad

다 내다 버려 good boys gone bad
다 버려 good boys gone bad
널 사랑했던 good boys gone bad
Now
(더 날 부숴 부숴놔)

내 가슴팍엔 흉터 gone bad
심장을 긋고 gone dead
네가 알던 that good boy’s gone bad
Now
(난 날 죽여 죽여놔)

Good boy gone bad
(Good boy gone bad, good boy gone bad
Good boy gone bad, good boy gone bad)
Good boy gone bad
(Good boy gone bad, good boy gone bad
Good boy gone bad, good boy gone bad)

Good boy gone bad

Translation

Put that nail in the coffin over the word forever
You completely changed me when I was fragile
I spent hours in front of the mirror wanting to become you
Scratching my face, swallowing my heart

You kept dumping me
My tail wagged at you that’s my past
I just killed me with all that stress
I just don’t care anymore

This broken feeling’s not too bad
Better than those pathetic days
Watch watch gotta watch watch me yeah
(I just kill me killin’ me)

Just ditch it all good boys gone bad
Just ditch it good boys gone bad
I loved you good boys gone bad
Now
(Break me more just break me)

A scar on my chest gone bad
Slash my heart then gone dead
Who you knew that good boys gone bad
Now
(I just kill me killin’ me)

Good boy gone bad
(Good boy gone bad, good boy gone bad
Good boy gone bad, good boy gone bad)
Good boy gone bad
(Good boy gone bad, good boy gone bad
Good boy gone bad, good boy gone bad)

Erase that boy inside of you
Then fill it with the wreck that I’ve become
I’m like a zombie dead alive
Born atop the tomb of love

I like it better now
This completely altered face of mine
I just killed me with all that pain
I just don’t care anymore

So sweet is this shut-eyed night of despair
I feel free now
Watch watch gotta watch watch me yeah
(I just kill me killn’ me)

Just ditch it all good boys gone bad
Just ditch it good boys gone bad
I loved you good boys gone bad
Now
(Break me more just break me)

A scar on my chest gone bad
Slash my heart then gone dead
Who you knew that good boys gone bad
Now
(I just kill me killin’ me)

Good boy gone bad

Gouge you out from my heart
Bleeding out the traces of you
Love is a lie, I loved that lie
Burn in just burn it out

I give up give love to the dogs forever
I bleed monochrome diamonds instead of blood
Killed it I killed it myself
Fall head first with broken wings
Doesn’t hurt anymore even if I fall
I like being bad

Just ditch it all good boys gone bad
Just ditch it good boys gone bad
I loved you good boys gone bad
Now
(Break me more just break me)

A scar on my chest gone bad
Slash my heart then gone dead
Who you knew that good boys gone bad
Now
(I just kill me killin’ me)

Good boy gone bad
(Good boy gone bad, good boy gone bad
Good boy gone bad, good boy gone bad)
Good boy gone bad
(Good boy gone bad, good boy gone bad
Good boy gone bad, good boy gone bad)

Good boy gone bad

TXT “Good Boy Gone Bad” Meaning

TOMORROW X TOGETHER’s “Good Boy Gone Bad” is an emotional rock-infused anthem about the aftermath of a first heartbreak. The song follows the transformation of a once-kind and innocent person who becomes angry, rebellious, and emotionally guarded after losing someone they deeply loved.

At its core, the track explores the intense emotions that follow a breakup. Instead of focusing on sadness alone, the lyrics highlight feelings of frustration, betrayal, and denial. The narrator struggles to accept the end of the relationship and begins embracing a darker side as a way of coping with the pain.

Another major theme is rebellion and self-discovery. Rather than hiding their emotions, the narrator chooses to express their anger openly and reject expectations placed upon them. This transformation symbolizes a desire to break free from old versions of themselves and confront difficult feelings head-on.

The song also represents a turning point in TXT’s artistic journey. Compared to their earlier youthful and fantasy-inspired concepts, “Good Boy Gone Bad” introduces a darker and more mature perspective, reflecting themes of growth, heartbreak, and identity.

Ultimately, “Good Boy Gone Bad” is a powerful portrayal of how heartbreak can change a person. Through its intense sound and emotional lyrics, the song captures the messy process of coping with loss while searching for a new sense of self.
