뭐라도 붙잡고 울고 싶을 때
내 옆엔 네가 있었어
그래서 난 네 손을 잡고
실컷 울었어
넌 날 조용히 안아줬고
시간이 이대로 멈췄으면
좋겠다 생각했어
지금 이대로만 제발
그만 아프게 다치게 해달라고
기도하는 내 손이 차갑게 식어가고
맘이 메말라가도
내 옆에 너만 있다면
다시 살고 싶어져
그냥 살아야겠다 싶어져
내가 살아야 할 이유를 찾아
또 내가 나를 설득하고
없던 이유를 만들고
그렇다고 믿으려고 해
내가 살아야 할 이유를 찾아
또 내가 나를 붙잡고
없던 이유도 만들고
그렇다고 믿으려고 해
Why should I live
걸어가다 한두 번쯤은 넘어져도 돼
달리다가 숨 가쁘면 잠시 멈춰도 돼
똑같은 매일이 버거워
계속된 외로움에 얼굴엔
눈물 자국이 보여
너 잠시 멈춰서 털어내
때론 미칠 듯 화가 난 적도 있어
지친 나를 안쓰러 하는 그 눈빛이 싫어
계속 벽으로 밀어내듯 하나둘 멀어져
내게 더 남은 게 있을까
눈을 뜨면 다시 내일이 와있을까
내가 살아야 할 이유를 찾아
또 내가 나를 설득하고
없던 이유를 만들고
그렇다고 믿으려고 해
내가 살아야 할 이유를 찾아
또 내가 나를 붙잡고
없던 이유도 만들고
그렇다고 믿으려고 해
이대로 괜찮은 건가
또 난 주저앉아 버리고 말 거야
내가 아는 모두가 소설에 홀려
진심을 흠집 내 그렇게
달려가 바늘 끝 향해 난
아무도 와본 적
없는 나만의 가파른 길
그 가운데 어디쯤 가만히 서서
난 참아내요 my tears
너 올 때까지
내가 살아야 할 이유를 찾아
또 내가 나를 설득하고
없던 이유를 만들고
그렇다고 믿으려고 해
내가 살아야 할 이유를 찾아
또 내가 나를 붙잡고
없던 이유도 만들고
그렇다고 믿으려고 해

English Translation
Why should I live
Why should I live
Why should I live
When I want to hold onto something and cry
You were always next to me
So I held your hand
And cried all I want
You quietly held me
And I thought
I wish time would stop like this
Just like this, please
Even if my hands that prayed
Please stop this pain
Becomes so cold
And my heart gets so dry
If only I have you by my side
I want to live again
Then I think, I should just live
I’m finding a reason to live
As I try to convince myself
And create a reason that wasn’t even there
And trying to believe in it
I’m finding a reason to live
As I hold onto myself
And create a reason that wasn’t even there
And trying to believe in it
Why should I live
As you walk, it’s okay to fall a couple of times
If you run out of breath as you run, you can take a break
Going through the same days is overwhelming
Repetitive loneliness makes the tear stains visible on the face
So take a break and brush it off
Sometimes, I get mad like crazy
I hate those looks that pity me and my exhaustion
I’m pushing them against a wall, getting farther away from them one by one
Is there anything else left with me?
When I open my eyes, will tomorrow have come?
I’m finding a reason to live
As I try to convince myself
And create a reason that wasn’t even there
And trying to believe in it
I’m finding a reason to live
As I hold onto myself
And create a reason that wasn’t even there
And trying to believe in it
Am I alright like this?
I’ll probably crumble down again
Everyone is so caught up in a novel
Finding fault in the truth
So I keep running toward the end of the clock hands
On this steep path of my own that no one else has walked on
I’m standing still in the middle of the road
And hold back my tears
Until you come
I’m finding a reason to live
As I try to convince myself
And create a reason that wasn’t even there
And trying to believe in it
I’m finding a reason to live
As I hold onto myself
And create a reason that wasn’t even there
And trying to believe in it
Why should I live
Why should I live
