Epik High - 연애소설 (Love Story) (English Translation)
[Intro: Tablo]
We were like magnets once
Cuz only when one of us turned around
We grew apart
[Chorus: IU]
I had nothing
But thanks to the scars you gave me
I became the main character
In a sad love story
I was nothing special
But thanks to the breakup you gave me
I became the main character
In a sad love story
In this sad love story
[Verse 1: Tablo]
It’s time I forgot you
But my memories are getting fatter
Feelings growing bigger
When I look back
It makes my heart rip apart
But all of it were classic scenes
Do you remember?
In the dark movie theater
The day we first held hands
I was thankful
That your hand that built up and tore down countless things
Landed in mine
Do you remember?
The night you told me about your family
It was something only I knew about you
Making me want to give you a piece of my heart
It was raining under the blankets
You used my body as a roof and avoided all the rain of the world
I remember everything
Even the first morning without you
Moments I broke down after enduring so well
I cried for a while in the shower
As I picked off your hair on the soap bar
[Chorus: IU]
I had nothing
But thanks to the scars you gave me
I became the main character
In a sad love story
I was nothing special
But thanks to the breakup you gave me
I became the main character
In a sad love story
In this sad love...
[Verse 2: Mithra Jin]
I comforted myself, saying this sadness is just a drizzle
But I still wake up with a wet face
Seasons casually change and only look ahead
But I keep pacing back and forth
Next to you, who is only left as a memory that time left behind
I can’t forget
Our first night after being pulled together by our drunken attraction
Actually, I was drunk even before I had my first drink
I think what we drank was destiny
We sobered up way too fast
Back then we couldn’t live without each other
But now, every day is like a war
We look at each other as if we’ll kill each other
Then we face the end of our tears
From our first encounter that felt like necessary fate
To our last as we turned around, calling each other ill fate
We were each other’s mirror reflections
Even until we broke apart from the looks we threw at each other
[Chorus: IU]
I had nothing
But thanks to the scars you gave me
I became the main character
In a sad love story
I was nothing special
But thanks to the breakup you gave me
I became the main character
In a sad love story
In this sad love...
[Bridge: IU]
A story that’s only special to me
Isn’t it so cliché?
I know I’m not the only one
But this is me
I had nothing to give
But thanks to the scars that you left behind
I’m giving them to someone else
A sad story that resembles me
Everything was a first to me
But thanks to the fear you gave me
I’m forever
In a sad love story
In this sad love...
[Outro: Tablo]
We were like magnets once
Cuz only when one of us turned around
We grew apart
We were like magnets once
Cuz only when one of us turned around
We became strangers
Not a single star in the Seoul sky
